Mutation identification and prediction for severe cardiomyopathy in Alström syndrome, and review of the literature for cardiomyopathy

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2022
Objective Alström syndrome (ALMS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder that is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the ALMS1 gene. Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is one of the well-recognized features of the syndrome ranging

Young‐onset type 2 diabetes—Epidemiology, pathophysiology, and management

Journal of Diabetes Investigation, Volume 16, Issue 7, Page 1157-1172, July 2025.
The burden of young‐onset type 2 diabetes is increasing globally, disproportionately affecting non‐White ethnic groups and low‐ and middle‐income countries. Young‐onset type 2 is more heterogeneous regarding the genetic and environmental contributions to its underlying pathophysiology, which poses challenges for glycemic management.

Genomic knockout of alms1 in zebrafish recapitulates Alström syndrome and provides insight into metabolic phenotypes [PDF]

Human Molecular Genetics, 2018
SCIENTIFIC ABSTRACTAlström syndrome is an autosomal recessive obesity ciliopathy caused by loss-of-function mutations in theALMS1gene. In addition to multi-organ dysfunction, such as cardiomyopathy, retinal degeneration, and renal dysfunction, the disorder is characterized by high rates of obesity, insulin resistance and early onset type 2 diabetes ...

Early genetic screening and cardiac intervention in patients with cardiomyopathies in a multidisciplinary clinic

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 3, Page 1942-1955, June 2025.
Abstract Aims Patients with cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of patients who experience high morbidity and mortality. Early cardiac assessment and intervention with access to genetic counselling in a multidisciplinary Cardiomyopathy Clinic may improve outcomes and prevent progression to advanced heart failure.

The value of age of onset and family history as predictors of molecular diagnosis in a Swedish cohort of inherited retinal disease

Acta Ophthalmologica, Volume 103, Issue 3, Page 327-338, May 2025.
Abstract Purpose This study aimed to characterize clinical and genetic findings in a Swedish cohort with inherited retinal disease (IRD), identify predictors for achieving a molecular diagnosis and evaluate the effects of increased genetic testing over time.

Adaptive failure to high-fat diet characterizes steatohepatitis in Alms1 mutant mice

Biochemical and Biophysical Research Communications, 2006
The biochemical differences between simple steatosis, a benign liver disease, and non-alcoholic steatohepatitis, which leads to cirrhosis, are unclear. Fat aussie is an obese mouse strain with a truncating mutation (foz) in the Alms1 gene. Chow-fed female foz/foz mice develop obesity, diabetes, and simple steatosis.

Whole genome sequencing identifies a novel ALMS1 gene mutation in two Chinese siblings with Alström syndrome

BMC Medical Genetics, 2017
Background Alström syndrome is a rare multi-systemic disorder with a broad spectrum of symptoms. This syndrome is characterized by childhood retinal degeneration; sensorineural hearing loss; obesity; type 2 diabetes mellitus; cardiomyopathy; systemic ...

Disturbing Cholesterol/Sphingolipid Metabolism by Squalene Epoxidase Arises Crizotinib Hepatotoxicity

Advanced Science, Volume 12, Issue 14, April 10, 2025.
Crizotinib induces excessive accumulation of squalene epoxidase (SQLE) by blocking its autophagic degradation. This accumulation disrupts cholesterol and sphingolipid metabolism, leading to hepatic steatosis or hepatocyte apoptosis, respectively. Autophagy activators, such as metformin, or SQLE enzymatic inhibitors, like terbinafine, possesses the ...

Whole Exome Sequencing Study Identifies Distinct Characteristics of Transformed Small Cell Lung Cancer With EGFR Mutation Compared to De Novo Small Cell and Primary Non‐Small Cell Lung Cancers

Cancer Medicine, Volume 14, Issue 7, April 2025.
ABSTRACT Background Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)‐mutated lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is the most common subtype among non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and targeted therapies are the primary approach for treatment. However, the development of resistance to therapy and histological transformation into small cell lung cancer (SCLC) present ...
