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 ...
Assignment of the Muscle-Eye-Brain Disease Gene to 1P32-P34 by Linkage Analysis and Homozygosity Mapping
(Univ Chicago Press, 1999)
Muscle-eye-brain disease (MEB) is an autosomal recessive disease of unknown etiology characterized by severe mental retardation, ocular abnormalities, congenital muscular dystrophy, and a polymicrogyria-pachygyria-type ...
Combined Pituitary Hormone Deficiency Due To Gross Deletions In The Pou1F1 (Pit-1) And Prop1 Genes
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017)
Pituitary development depends on a complex cascade of interacting transcription factors and signaling molecules. Lesions in this cascade lead to isolated or combined pituitary hormone deficiency (CPHD). The aim of this ...
Cobalamin C Disease Missed By Newborn Screening In A Patient With Low Carnitine Level
(Springer-Verlag Berlin, 2015)
Cobalamin C (CblC) disease is the most common inherited disorder of intracellular cobalamin metabolism. It is a multisystemic disorder mainly affecting the eye and brain and characterized biochemically by methylmalonic ...
Crucial Role Of Posttranslational Modifications Of Integrin Alpha 3 In Interstitial Lung Disease And Nephrotic Syndrome
(Oxford Univ Press, 2015)
Interstitial lung disease, nephrotic syndrome and junctional epidermolysis bullosa is an autosomal recessive multiorgan disorder caused by mutations in the gene for the integrin alpha 3 subunit (ITGA3). The full spectrum ...
Disruption of Alx1 Causes Extreme Microphthalmia and Severe Facial Clefting: Expanding The Spectrum of Autosomal-Recessive Alx-Related Frontonasal Dysplasia
(Cell Press, 2010)
We present an autosomal-recessive frontonasal dysplasia (FND) characterized by bilateral extreme microphthalmia, bilateral oblique facial cleft, complete cleft palate, hypertelorism, wide nasal bridge with hypoplasia of ...
Escobar Syndrome Is A Prenatal Myasthenia Caused By Disruption Of The Acetylcholine Receptor Fetal Gamma Subunit
(Univ Chicago Press, 2006)
Escobar syndrome is a form of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita and features joint contractures, pterygia, and respiratory distress. Similar findings occur in newborns exposed to nicotinergic acetylcholine receptor (AChR) ...
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 Cant1 Mutations In Desbuquois Dysplasia
(Cell Press, 2009)
Desbuquois dysplasia is a severe condition characterized by short stature, joint laxity, scoliosis, and advanced carpal ossification with a delta phalanx. Studying nine Desbuquois families, we identified seven distinct ...
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 ...
