Sequential (Hfsh Plus Recfsh) Vs Homogenous (Hfsh Or Recfsh Alone) Stimulation: Clinical And Biochemical (Cumulus Cell Gene Expression) Aspects
(Springer/Plenum Publishers, 2014)
FSH is a key hormone in the regulation of follicular development. Together with the EGF network, these molecules mediate oocyte maturation and competence in preparation for the action of LH. FSH isoforms regulate distinct ...
Guanidinoacetate Methyltransferase (Gamt) Deficiency: Outcomes In 48 Individuals And Recommendations For Diagnosis, Treatment And Monitoring
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2014)
We collected data on 48 patients from 38 families with guanidinoacetate methyltransferase (GAMT) deficiency. Global developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID) with speech/language delay and behavioral problems as ...
Expanding The Phenotypic Spectrum Of Ecel1-Related Congenital Contracture Syndromes
(Wiley, 2014)
Using a combination of homozygosity mapping and whole-exome sequencing (WES), we identified a novel missense c.1819G>A mutation (G607S) in the endothelin-converting enzyme-like 1 (ECEL1) gene in a consanguineous pedigree ...
Speg Interacts With Myotubularin, And Its Deficiency Causes Centronuclear Myopathy With Dilated Cardiomyopathy
(Cell Press, 2014)
Centronuclear myopathies (CNMs) are characterized by muscle weakness and increased numbers of central nuclei within myofibers. X-linked myotubular myopathy, the most common severe form of CNM, is caused by mutations in ...
Mutations In Emp2 Cause Childhood-Onset Nephrotic Syndrome
(Cell Press, 2014)
Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a genetically heterogeneous group of diseases that are divided into steroid-sensitive NS (SSNS) and steroid-resistant NS (SRNS). SRNS inevitably leads to end-stage kidney disease, and no curative ...
Recessive Ttn Truncating Mutations Define Novel Forms of Core Myopathy with Heart Disease
(Oxford Univ Press, 2014)
Core myopathies (CM), the main non-dystrophic myopathies in childhood, remain genetically unexplained in many cases. Heart disease is not considered part of the typical CM spectrum. No congenital heart defect has been ...
Mutations In Cspp1 Cause Primary Cilia Abnormalities And Joubert Syndrome With Or Without Jeune Asphyxiating Thoracic Dystrophy
(Cell Press, 2014)
Joubert syndrome (JBTS) is a recessive ciliopathy in which a subset of affected individuals also have the skeletal dysplasia Jeune asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (JATD). Here, we have identified biallelic truncating CSPP1 ...
A Rare Cause of Elevated Chitotriosidase Activity: Glycogen Storage Disease Type IV
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2014)
Human chitinolytic enzyme named "chitotriosidase" takes part in the defense mechanism against pathogens and the homeostasis of innate immunity. Chitotriosidase was firstly reported to be markedly high in plasma of patients ...
Regulatory T Cells And Immune Regulation Of Allergic Diseases: Roles Of Il-10 And Tgf-Beta
(Nature Publishing Group, 2014)
The prevalence of allergic diseases has significantly increased in industrialized countries. Allergen-specific immunotherapy (AIT) remains as the only curative treatment. The knowledge about the mechanisms underlying healthy ...
Pregnancy and Lactation Outcomes in a Turkish Patient With Lysinuric Protein Intolerance
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2014)
Maternal lysinuric protein intolerance (LPI) is associated with increased risk of anemia, toxemia, and retarded growth in fetus during pregnancy, and bleeding complications during delivery. There has been limited number ...
