Novel Mutations of the ALMS1 Gene in Patients with Alström Syndrome

Internal Medicine, 2021
Objective Alström syndrome is an autosomal recessive genetic disease caused by a mutation in the ALMS1 gene. Alström syndrome is clinically characterized by multisystem involvement, including sensorineural deafness, cone-rod dystrophy, nystagmus, obesity, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes and hypogonadism.

Loss of the centrosomal protein ALMS1 alters lipid metabolism and the regulation of extracellular matrix-related processes

Biology Direct, 2023
Background Alström syndrome (ALMS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease that is associated with mutations in ALMS1 gene. The main clinical manifestations of ALMS are retinal dystrophy, obesity, type 2 diabetes mellitus, dilated cardiomyopathy and multi ...

alms1 mutant zebrafish do not show hair cell phenotypes seen in other cilia mutants.

PLoS ONE, 2021
Multiple cilia-associated genes have been shown to affect hair cells in zebrafish (Danio rerio), including the human deafness gene dcdc2, the radial spoke gene rsph9, and multiple intraflagellar transport (IFT) and transition zone genes.

Alms1-disrupted mice recapitulate human Alström syndrome [PDF]

Human Molecular Genetics, 2005
Mutations in the human ALMS1 gene cause Alström syndrome (AS), a progressive disease characterized by neurosensory deficits and by metabolic defects including childhood obesity, hyperinsulinemia and Type 2 diabetes. Other features that are more variable in expressivity include dilated cardiomyopathy, hypertriglyceridemia, hypercholesterolemia ...

The importance of seeking ALMS1 mutations in infants with dilated cardiomyopathy [PDF]

Journal of Medical Genetics, 2005
As part of a clinical study of Alstrom syndrome (MIM 203800) we sequentially ascertained seven families. Four of the families, pedigrees A–D (table 1), were consanguineous. In total there were 16 living affected individuals, aged 3–25 years. All had cone rod dystrophy that presented in the first 3 months of life with photophobia and nystagmus. The cone

A deleterious mutation in the ALMS1 gene in a naturally occurring model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the Sphynx cat

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2021
Background Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common inherited cardiovascular disorder in people. Many causal mutations have been identified, but about 40% of cases do not have a known causative mutation. Mutations in the ALMS1 gene are associated

Presence of known feline ALMS1 and MYBPC3 variants in a diverse cohort of cats with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in Japan.

PLoS ONE, 2023
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common heart disease in cats with a suspected genetic origin. Previous studies have identified five HCM-associated variants in three genes (Myosin binding protein C3: MYBPC3 p.A31P, p.A74T, p.R820W; Myosin ...
