Rare coding variants and X-linked loci associated with age at menarche. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
More than 100 loci have been identified for age at menarche by genome-wide association studies; however, collectively these explain only ∼3% of the trait variance.

The role of an ophthalmologist in the Alström syndrome diagnosis [PDF]

open access: yesVojnosanitetski Pregled, 2019
Introduction. The Alström syndrome (AS) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, affecting fewer than 1: 1,000,000 people globally. It is a single gene disorder due to the mutation of ALMS1 on chromosome 2 (2p13).

A homozygous mutation in the TUB gene associated with retinal dystrophy and obesity. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
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 ...

A Review of Alstrom Syndrome

open access: yesFuture Journal of Pharmaceuticals and Health Sciences, 2023
Alström disease is a condition of autosomal recessive trait disorders that are characterized. At the same time, cone-rod spinal muscular atrophy, hearing impairment, adolescent upper abdominal overweight, insulin sensitivity but also insulin production, insulin-dependent, hypercholesterolemia, present approximately through sexual maturity, myocardial ...

Translational readthrough of ciliopathy genes BBS2 and ALMS1 restores protein, ciliogenesis and function in patient fibroblasts

open access: yesEBioMedicine, 2021
Background: Ciliary dysfunction underlies a range of genetic disorders collectively termed ciliopathies, for which there are no treatments available. Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is characterised by multisystemic involvement, including rod-cone dystrophy ...

ARPKD and early manifestations of ADPKD: the original polycystic kidney disease and phenocopies [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Renal cysts are clinically and genetically heterogeneous conditions. Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is common and its characterization has paved the way for the identification of a growing number of cilia-related disorders (ciliopathies) of which most ...

Recurrent, low-frequency coding variants contributing to colorectal cancer in the Swedish population [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified dozens of common genetic variants associated with risk of colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the majority of CRC heritability remains unclear.
