The Novel Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis Gene Mfsd8 Encodes A Putative Lysosomal Transporter
(Univ Chicago Press, 2007)
The late-infantile-onset forms are the most genetically heterogeneous group among the autosomal recessively inherited neurodegenerative disorders, the neuronal ceroid lipofuscinoses (NCLs). The Turkish variant was initially ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
Cc2D2A Is Mutated In Joubert Syndrome And Interacts With The Ciliopathy-Associated Basal Body Protein Cep290
(Cell Press, 2008)
Joubert syndrome and related disorders (JSRD) are primarily autosomal-recessive conditions characterized by hypotonia, ataxia, abnormal eye movements, and intellectual disability with a distinctive mid-hindbrain malformation. ...
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 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 ...
Mutations In B3Galnt2 Cause Congenital Muscular Dystrophy And Hypoglycosylation Of Alpha-Dystroglycan
(Cell Press, 2013)
Mutations in several known or putative glycosyltransferases cause glycosylation defects in alpha-dystroglycan (alpha-DG), an integral component of the dystrophin glycoprotein complex. The hypoglycosylation reduces the ...
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 ...
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 ...
