Mutation In Exon 1F Of Plec, Leading To Disruption Of Plectin Isoform 1F, Causes Autosomal-Recessive Limb-Girdle Muscular Dystrophy
(Cell Press, 2010)
Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) is a genetically heterogeneous group of inherited muscular disorders manifesting symmetric, proximal, and slowly progressive muscle weakness. Using Affymetrix 250K SNP Array genotyping ...
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 ...
Novel Mutations In Genes Causing Hereditary Spastic Paraplegia And Charcot-Marie-Tooth Neuropathy Identified By An Optimized Protocol For Homozygosity Mapping Based On Whole-Exome Sequencing
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)
Purpose: Homozygosity mapping is an effective approach for detecting molecular defects in consanguineous families by delineating stretches of genomic DNA that are identical by descent. Constant developments in next-generation ...
Novel Mutations Consolidate Kctd7 As A Progressive Myoclonus Epilepsy Gene
(Bmj Publishing Group, 2012)
Background The progressive myoclonus epilepsies (PMEs) comprise a group of clinically and genetically heterogeneous disorders characterised by myoclonus, epilepsy, and neurological deterioration. This study aimed to identify ...
Pde3A Mutations Cause Autosomal Dominant Hypertension with Brachydactyly
(Nature Publishing Group, 2015)
Cardiovascular disease is the most common cause of death worldwide, and hypertension is the major risk factor(1). Mendelian hypertension elucidates mechanisms of blood pressure regulation. Here we report six missense ...
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 ...
Molecular Approaches To Diagnose Diamond-Blackfan Anemia: The Eurodba Experience
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2018)
Diamond-Blackfan anemia (DBA) is a rare congenital erythroblastopenia and inherited bone marrow failure syndrome that affects approximately seven individuals in every million live births. In addition to anemia, about 50% ...
Mutations In Klhl40 Are A Frequent Cause Of Severe Autosomal-Recessive Nemaline Myopathy
(Cell Press, 2013)
Nemaline myopathy (NEM) is a common congenital myopathy. At the very severe end of the NEM clinical spectrum are genetically unresolved cases of autosomal-recessive fetal akinesia sequence. We studied a multinational cohort ...
Mutations In Keops-Complex Genes Cause Nephrotic Syndrome With Primary Microcephaly
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
Galloway-Mowat syndrome (GAMOS) is an autosomal-recessive disease characterized by the combination of early-onset nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) and microcephaly with brain anomalies. Here we identified recessive mutations in ...
