Mutation of ALMS1, a large gene with a tandem repeat encoding 47 amino acids, causes Alström syndrome [PDF]
Nature Genetics, 2002 Alström syndrome (OMIM 203800) is an autosomal recessive disease, characterized by cone-rod retinal dystrophy, cardiomyopathy and type 2 diabetes mellitus, that has been mapped to chromosome 2p13 (refs 1-5). We have studied an individual with Alström syndrome carrying a familial balanced reciprocal chromosome translocation (46, XY,t(2;11)(p13;q21)mat ...

Transcriptional regulation of the Alström syndrome gene ALMS1 by members of the RFX family and Sp1
Gene, 2010 Mutations in the human gene ALMS1 cause Alström syndrome, a disorder characterised by neurosensory degeneration, metabolic defects and cardiomyopathy. ALMS1 encodes a centrosomal protein implicated in the assembly and maintenance of primary cilia. Expression of ALMS1 varies between tissues and recent data suggest that its transcription is modulated ...
