Long‐Read Whole‐Genome Sequencing Uncovers a Deletion Upstream to HOXD13 Causing Synpolydactyly

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Synpolydactyly (SPD) is a heterogeneous distal‐limb malformation syndrome, characterized by webbing and duplication of adjacent digits. SPD1, the most common type, is attributed to disease‐causing variants in HOXD13, a transcription factor in the HOXD cluster that is essential for limb development. Here, we present a challenging exome‐negative

A Splice‐Region Variant Causes an Atypical Presentation of GNAS Inactivation Disorder

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in GNAS can cause a wide range of diseases including pseudohypoparathyroidism, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, McCune‐Albright syndrome, among others. The specific phenotypic features that may be seen are influenced by the variant type and location in the gene, whether it causes loss or gain of function, and whether it is ...

Survivorship of Individuals With Double Heterozygosity for Achondroplasia and Type 2 Collagenopathy

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Historically, double heterozygosity, or a diagnosis of two separate, dominant genetic conditions, was often thought to be lethal in individuals with autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasias. In previously published studies of individuals with dual dysplasia diagnoses of achondroplasia and type 2 collagenopathy, infants died of respiratory ...

Finding the basic neighborhood in variable range Markov random fields: application in SNP association studies [PDF]

open access: yesarXiv, 2013
The SNPs (Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms) genotyping platforms are of great value for gene mapping of complex diseases. Nowadays, the high-density of these molecular markers enables studies of dependence patterns between loci over the genome, allowing a simultaneous inference of dependence structure and disease association.

Chromosome 3q22.2‐q26.2 Interstitial Deletion in a Patient With Wisconsin Syndrome, Blepharophimosis‐Ptosis‐Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome, Dandy‐Walker Malformation, Pierre Robin Sequence, and Recurrent Infections

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wisconsin syndrome is a very rare genetic condition characterized by coarse facies, prominent nasal tip, bushy high arched/upsweeping eyebrows, and a full/everted lower lip. Deletion of chromosome 3q24q25 region is considered critical for its manifestation.

Autosomal dominant multicentric infantile myofibromatosis: A case report

open access: yesPediatric Hematology Oncology Journal
Background: Infantile myofibromatosis (IM) is a rare disorder of benign fibrous tumors, where severity and prognosis depend on the location of tumors, particularly if visceral organs are affected. Most cases of IM are sporadic.

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease in children

open access: yesSaudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2016
Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD) presenting in adults is well documented, but the presentation in children is uncommon and is unclear why the disease presents early.

The Genetics of Parkinson’s Disease

open access: yesGenel Tıp Dergisi
Parkinson's disease (PD) is one of the most common neurodegenerative diseases worldwide. Approximately 15% of PD patients have a family history of the disease in one or more first-degree relatives, and 5-10% of PD cases exhibit a classical Mendelian ...
