Spectrum Of Perforin Gene Mutations In Familial Hemophagocytic Lymphohistiocytosis
(Cell Press, 2001)
Familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (FHL) is an autosomal recessive disease of early childhood characterized by nonmalignant accumulation and multivisceral infiltration of activated T lymphocytes and histiocytes ...
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 ...
Mutations In A Gene Encoding A Novel Sh3/Tpr Domain Protein Cause Autosomal Recessive Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 4C Neuropathy
(Univ Chicago Press, 2003)
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4C (CMT4C) is a childhood-onset demyelinating form of hereditary motor and sensory neuropathy associated with an early-onset scoliosis and a distinct Schwann cell pathology. CMT4C is inherited ...
Tbx15 Mutations Cause Craniofacial Dysmorphism, Hypoplasia of Scapula and Pelvis, and Short Stature in Cousin Syndrome
(Cell Press, 2008)
Members of the evolutionarily conserved T-box family of transcription factors are important players in developmental processes that include mesoderm formation and patterning and organogenesis both in vertebrates and ...
The Novel Genetic Disorder Microhydranencephaly Maps To Chromosome 16P13.3-12.1
(Univ Chicago Press, 2000)
We studied a large consanguineous Anatolian family with children who exhibited hydranencephaly associated with microcephaly. The children were severely affected. This novel genetic disorder is autosomal recessive. We used ...
Molecular Cytogenetic Analysis And Resequencing Of Contactin Associated Protein-Like 2 In Autism Spectrum Disorders
(Cell Press, 2008)
Autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are a group of related neurodevelopmental syndromes with complex genetic etiology.(1) We identified a de novo chromosome 7q inversion disrupting Autism susceptibility candidate 2 (AUTS2) and ...
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 ...
Two New Loci For Autosomal Recessive Ichthyosis On Chromosomes 3P21 And 19P12-Q12 And Evidence For Further Genetic Heterogeneity
(Univ Chicago Press, 2000)
Autosomal recessive ichthyosis (ARI) includes a heterogeneous group of disorders of keratinization characterized by desquamation over the whole body. Two forms largely limited to the skin have been defined: lamellar ...
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 ...
Mutations In Arfgef2 Implicate Vesicle Trafficking In Neural Progenitor Proliferation And Migration In The Human Cerebral Cortex
(Nature Publishing Group, 2004)
Disruption of human neural precursor proliferation can give rise to a small brain ( microcephaly), and failure of neurons to migrate properly can lead to an abnormal arrest of cerebral cortical neurons in proliferative ...
