The Mutational Spectrum Of Human Malignant Autosomal Recessive Osteopetrosis
(Oxford Univ Press, 2001)
Human malignant infantile osteopetrosis (arOP; MIM 259700) is a genetically heterogenous autosomal recessive disorder of bone metabolism, which, if untreated, has a fatal outcome. Our group, as well as others, have recently ...
The Myopathic Form Of Coenzyme Q10 Deficiency Is Caused By Mutations In The Electron-Transferring-Flavoprotein Dehydrogenase (Etfdh) Gene
(Oxford Univ Press, 2007)
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder with heterogenous phenotypic manifestations and genetic background. We describe seven patients from five independent families with an isolated myopathic ...
The Mutational Spectrum Of Ptpn11 In Juvenile Myelomonocytic Leukemia And Noonan Syndrome/Myeloproliferative Disease
(Amer Soc Hematology, 2005)
Germ line PTPN11 mutations cause 50% of cases of Noonan syndrome (NS). Somatic mutations in PTPN11 occur in 35% of patients with de novo, nonsyndromic juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JIMML). Myeloproliferative disorders ...
The Significance Of Antineutrophil Cytoplasmic Antibody In Microscopic Polyangitis And Classic Polyarteritis Nodosa
(British Med Journal Publ Group, 2001)
Aims-To describe the distribution and features of classic polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and microscopic polyarteritis (MPA) and the importance of antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) in childhood PAN. Methods-Classic ...
Mutations In Cln7/Mfsd8 Are A Common Cause Of Variant Late-Infantile Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis
(Oxford Univ Press, 2009)
The neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs), the most common neurodegenerative disorders of childhood, are characterized by the accumulation of autofluorescent storage material mainly in neurons. Although clinically rather ...
Mutations In Col6A3 Cause Severe And Mild Phenotypes Of Ullrich Congenital Muscular Dystrophy
(Univ Chicago Press, 2002)
Ullrich congenital muscular dystrophy (UCMD) is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by generalized muscular weakness, contractures of multiple joints, and distal hyperextensibility. Homozygous and compound ...
Mutations In The Gene Encoding Gap Junction Protein Alpha 12 (Connexin 46.6) Cause Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-Like Disease
(Cell Press, 2004)
The hypomyelinating leukodystrophies X-linked Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) and Pelizaeus-Merzbacher like disease (PMLD) are characterized by nystagmus, progressive spasticity, and ataxia. In a consanguineous family ...
Mutations In The Wilms' Tumor 1 Gene Cause Isolated Steroid Resistant Nephrotic Syndrome And Occur In Exons 8 And 9
(Nature Publishing Group, 2006)
Primary steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome (SRNS) is characterized by childhood onset of proteinuria and progression to end-stage renal disease. Approximately 10-25% of familial and sporadic cases are caused by mutations ...
A Clinically Variant Fibrosis Syndrome In A Turkish Family Maps To The Cfeom1 Locus On Chromosome 12
(Amer Medical Assoc, 2000)
Objectives: To describe the phenotype of a Turkish family with variably expressed congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles (CFEOM), and to determine the genetic location of their disorder. Methods: Participants were ...
