Is the Novel Sckl3 at 14Q23 the Predominant Seckel Locus?
(Nature Publishing Group, 2003)
Seckel syndrome (SCKL) is a rare disease with wide phenotypic heterogeneity. A locus (SCKL1) has been identified at 3q and another (SCKL2) at 18p, both in single kindreds afflicted with the syndrome. We report here a novel ...
Evidence From Autoimmune Thyroiditis Of Skewed X-Chromosome Inactivation In Female Predisposition To Autoimmunity
(Nature Publishing Group, 2006)
The etiologic factors in the development of autoimmune thyroid diseases (AITDs) are not fully understood. We investigated the role of skewed X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) mosaicism in female predisposition to AITDs. One ...
Familial Mediterranean Fever In The 'Chuetas' Of Mallorca: A Question Of Jewish Origin Or Genetic Heterogeneity
(Nature Publishing Group, 2000)
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary disease commonly found among Jews, Armenians, Turks and Arabs. Recently, FMF was found in the 'Chuetas', a unique community on the island of Mallorca (Spain). To address ...
Artemis, A Novel Dna Double-Strand Break Repair/V(D)J Recombination Protein, Is Mutated In Human Severe Combined Immune Deficiency
(Cell Press, 2001)
The V(D)J recombination process insures the somatic diversification of immunoglobulin and antigen T cell receptor encoding genes. This reaction is initiated by a DNA double-strand break (dsb), which is resolved by the ...
Giant Axonal Neuropathy Locus Refinement To A < 590 Kb Critical Interval
(Nature Publishing Group, 2000)
Giant axonal neuropathy (GAN) is a rare autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder, characterised clinically by the development of chronic distal polyneuropathy during childhood, mental retardation, kinky or curly hair, ...
Identification Of A Founder Mutation In Tpm3 In Nemaline Myopathy Patients Of Turkish Origin
(Nature Publishing Group, 2008)
To date, six genes are known to cause nemaline (rod) myopathy (NM), a rare congenital neuromuscular disorder. In an attempt to find a seventh gene, we performed linkage and subsequent sequence analyses in 12 Turkish families ...
Lipoxygenase-3 (Aloxe3) and 12(R)-Lipoxygenase (Alox12B) Are Mutated in Non-Bullous Congenital Ichthyosiform Erythroderma (Ncie) Linked to Chromosome 17P13.1
(Oxford Univ Press, 2002)
We report the identification of mutations in lipoxygenase-3 (ALOXE3) and 12(R)-lipoxygenase (ALOX12B) genes in non-bullous congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (NCIE) linked to chromosome 17. Linkage disequilibrium analysis ...
L-2-Hydroxyglutaric Aciduria: Identification of a Mutant Gene C14Orf160, Localized on Chromosome 14Q22.1
(Oxford Univ Press, 2004)
l-2-Hydroxyglutaric aciduria (l-2-HGA) is characterized by progressive deterioration of central nervous system function including epilepsy and macrocephaly in 50% of cases, and elevated levels of l-2-hydroxyglutaric acid ...
Mutations In Ichthyin A New Gene On Chromosome 5Q33 In A New Form Of Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyosis
(Oxford Univ Press, 2004)
We report the genomic localization by homozygosity mapping and the identification of a gene for a new form of non-syndromic autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis. The phenotype usually presents as non-bullous congenital ...
The Mutational Spectrum Of Human Malignant Autosomal Recessive Osteopetrosis
(Oxford Univ Press, 2001)
Human malignant infantile osteopetrosis (arOP; MIM 259700) is a genetically heterogenous autosomal recessive disorder of bone metabolism, which, if untreated, has a fatal outcome. Our group, as well as others, have recently ...
