Exome Sequencing And Cis-Regulatory Mapping Identify Mutations In Mak, A Gene Encoding A Regulator Of Ciliary Length, As A Cause Of Retinitis Pigmentosa
(Cell Press, 2011)
A fundamental challenge in analyzing exome-sequence data is distinguishing pathogenic mutations from background polymorphisms. To address this problem in the context of a genetically heterogeneous disease, retinitis ...
Craniosynostosis And Multiple Skeletal Anomalies In Humans And Zebrafish Result From A Defect In The Localized Degradation Of Retinoic Acid
(Cell Press, 2011)
Excess exogenous retinoic acid (RA) has been well documented to have teratogenic effects in the limb and craniofacial skeleton. Malformations that have been observed in this context include craniosynostosis, a common ...
Disruption of Ptpro Causes Childhood-Onset Nephrotic Syndrome
(Cell Press, 2011)
Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is a genetically heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, and edema. Because it typically results in end-stage kidney disease, the steroid-resistant ...
Kif7 Mutations Cause Fetal Hydrolethalus and Acrocallosal Syndromes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2011)
KIF7, the human ortholog of Drosophila Costal2, is a key component of the Hedgehog signaling pathway. Here we report mutations in KIF7 in individuals with hydrolethalus and acrocallosal syndromes, two multiple malformation ...
Mutation Spectrum Of Fumarylacetoacetase Gene And Clinical Aspects Of Tyrosinemia Type I Disease
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2011)
Tyrosinemia type I (OMIM 276700) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder caused by a deficiency in the fumarylacetoacetate hydrolase (FAH) enzyme. This study examined the spectrum of FAH gene mutation in 32 patients with ...
A Congenital Muscular Dystrophy with Mitochondrial Structural Abnormalities Caused By Defective De Novo Phosphatidylcholine Biosynthesis
(Cell Press, 2011)
Congenital muscular dystrophy is a heterogeneous group of inherited muscle diseases characterized clinically by muscle weakness and hypotonia in early infancy. A number of genes harboring causative mutations have been ...
Mutations In The Tgf Beta Binding-Protein-Like Domain 5 Of Fbn1 Are Responsible For Acromicric And Geleophysic Dysplasias
(Cell Press, 2011)
Geleophysic (GD) and acromicric dysplasia (AD) belong to the acromelic dysplasia group and are both characterized by severe short stature, short extremities, and stiff joints. Although All has an unknown molecular basis, ...
Accounting For Genetic Heterogeneity In Homozygosity Mapping: Application To Mendelian Susceptibility To Mycobacterial Disease
(B M J Publishing Group, 2011)
Introduction Genome-wide homozygosity mapping is a powerful method for locating rare recessive Mendelian mutations. However, statistical power decreases dramatically in the presence of genetic heterogeneity. Methods The ...
Molecular Screening Of Adamtsl2 Gene In 33 Patients Reveals The Genetic Heterogeneity Of Geleophysic Dysplasia
(B M J Publishing Group, 2011)
Background Geleophysic dysplasia (GD, OMIM 231050) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterised by short stature, small hands and feet, stiff joints, and thick skin. Patients often present with a progressive cardiac ...
Homozygosity Mapping And Targeted Genomic Sequencing Reveal The Gene Responsible For Cerebellar Hypoplasia And Quadrupedal Locomotion In A Consanguineous Kindred
(Cold Spring Harbor Lab Press, Publications Dept, 2011)
The biological basis for the development of the cerebro-cerebellar structures required for posture and gait in humans is poorly understood. We investigated a large consanguineous family from Turkey exhibiting an extremely ...
