Evaluation of Genetic Causes of Cardiomyopathy in Childhood [PDF]

, 2015
Cardiomyopathy frequently has a genetic basis. In adults, mutations in genes encoding components of the sarcomere, cytoskeleton, or desmosome are frequent genetic causes of cardiomyopathy.

Depletion of ALMS1 affects TGF-β signalling pathway and downstream processes such as cell migration and adhesion capacity

Frontiers in Molecular Biosciences, 2022
Background:ALMS1 is a ubiquitous gene associated with Alström syndrome (ALMS). The main symptoms of ALMS affect multiple organs and tissues, generating at last, multi-organic fibrosis in the lungs, kidneys and liver.

Wolfram to Alstrom: Analysis of a Diagnostic Error

Online Journal of Health & Allied Sciences, 2021
Wolfram syndrome (DIDMOAD) and Alstrom syndrome are two rare, clinically similar diseases inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. We report the case of a 19 year old male who presented with left upper abdominal mass and two episodes of high coloured

Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children: Clinical recognition, genetics, and precision management

Pediatric Investigation, EarlyView.
Monogenic and syndromic obesity in children often arises from defects in the leptin–melanocortin pathway. Understanding these rare genetic causes not only clarifies mechanisms of appetite regulation but also enables precision therapies, offering hope beyond lifestyle interventions.

Targeted Next‐Generation Sequencing of the Leptin‐Melanocortin Pathway in Severe Obesity

Obesity, Volume 34, Issue 2, Page 499-511, February 2026.
ABSTRACT Objective Pathogenic variants in five established leptin‐melanocortin pathway genes (LEP, LEPR, MC4R, PCSK1, POMC) are associated with severe early‐onset obesity and are targets for emerging treatments. However, these variants are rare in these patients, suggesting the involvement of additional genes interacting with this pathway. Methods Next‐

Identification of a Rare Exon 19 Skipping Mutation in ALMS1 Gene in Alström Syndrome Patients From Two Unrelated Saudi Families

Frontiers in Pediatrics, 2021
Background: Alström syndrome (AS) is a very rare childhood disorder characterized by cardiomyopathy, progressive hearing loss and blindness. Inherited genetic variants of ALMS1 gene are the known molecular cause of this disease.

Alström Syndrome: Four Case Reports [PDF]

, 2009
A Síndrome de Alström (SA, MIM# 203800) é uma doença hereditária, de transmissão autossómica recessiva, descrita pela primeira vez em 1959, por Alström. O gene ALMS1, causador da doença, foi identificado em 2002 e localiza-se no cromossoma 2p13.

Subcellular localization of MC4R with ADCY3 at neuronal primary cilia underlies a common pathway for genetic predisposition to obesity. [PDF]

, 2018
Most monogenic cases of obesity in humans have been linked to mutations in genes encoding members of the leptin-melanocortin pathway. Specifically, mutations in MC4R, the melanocortin-4 receptor gene, account for 3-5% of all severe obesity cases in ...
