The phenotypic and molecular genetic spectrum of Alström syndrome in 44 Turkish kindreds and a literature review of Alström syndrome in Turkey [PDF]
Alström syndrome (ALMS) is an autosomal recessive disease characterized by multiple organ involvement, including neurosensory vision and hearing loss, childhood obesity, diabetes mellitus, cardiomyopathy, hypogonadism, and pulmonary, hepatic, renal failure and systemic fibrosis.

The relationship between lactate production in the myocardium and the development of chest pain in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) [PDF]
BackgroundSilent myocardial ischemia (SMI) was recognized as early as the beginning of the 20th century. The consequences of silent ischemia can be grave because lack of symptoms and lack of symptom recognition.

Truncation of POC1A associated with short stature and extreme insulin resistance. [PDF]
We describe a female proband with primordial dwarfism, skeletal dysplasia, facial dysmorphism, extreme dyslipidaemic insulin resistance and fatty liver associated with a novel homozygous frameshift mutation in POC1A, predicted to affect two of the three ...

Inherited causes of combined vision and hearing loss: clinical features and molecular genetics [PDF]
Combined vision and hearing loss, also known as dual sensory impairment, can occur in several genetic conditions, including ciliopathies such as Usher and Bardet-Biedl syndrome, mitochondrial DNA disorders and systemic diseases, such as CHARGE, Stickler,

A homozygous mutation in the TUB gene associated with retinal dystrophy and obesity. [PDF]
Inherited retinal dystrophies are a major cause of childhood blindness. Here, we describe the identification of a homozygous frameshift mutation (c.1194_1195delAG, p.Arg398Serfs*9) in TUB in a child from a consanguineous UK Caucasian family investigated ...

Quantum Data-Syndrome Codes [PDF]
Performing active quantum error correction to protect fragile quantum states highly depends on the correctness of error information--error syndromes. To obtain reliable error syndromes using imperfect physical circuits, we propose the idea of quantum data-syndrome (DS) codes that are capable of correcting both data qubits and syndrome bits errors.

Atypical Retinal Phenotype in a Patient With Alström Syndrome and Biallelic Novel Pathogenic Variants in ALMS1, Including a de novo Variation [PDF]
Alström syndrome (ALMS) is a rare autosomal recessive multi-organ syndrome considered to date as a ciliopathy and caused by variations in ALMS1. Phenotypic variability is well-documented, particularly for the systemic disease manifestations; however ...

Soft Syndrome Decoding of Quantum LDPC Codes for Joint Correction of Data and Syndrome Errors [PDF]
Quantum errors are primarily detected and corrected using the measurement of syndrome information which itself is an unreliable step in practical error correction implementations. Typically, such faulty or noisy syndrome measurements are modeled as a binary measurement outcome flipped with some probability.

Alstrom's syndrome: further evidence of autosomal recessive inheritance and endocrinological dysfunction. [PDF]
We report a case of Alstrom's syndrome with hypothyroidism in addition to the cardinal features of blindness, deafness, obesity, and insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. The parents were first cousins once removed which strengthens the case for autosomal recessive inheritance.
