Effects of selection and mutation on epidemiology of X-linked genetic diseases
The epidemiology of X-linked recessive diseases, a class of genetic disorders, is modeled with a discrete-time, structured, non linear mathematical system.

Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) and X-linked hypophosphataemia (XLH) are rare genetic diseases, which lead to childhood-onset bone fragility, low-trauma fractures and limb deformities. OI occurs as a result of impaired type 1 collagen synthesis at different

Genetic lessons learned from X‐linked Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases [PDF]
Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease (MSMD) is a rare syndrome conferring predisposition to clinical disease caused by weakly virulent mycobacteria, such as Mycobacterium bovis Bacille Calmette Guérin (BCG) vaccines and nontuberculous, environmental mycobacteria (EM).

Ethics in pre-ART genetics: a missed X-linked Menkes disease case [PDF]
AbstractAssisted reproductive technology (ART) has experienced dramatic progress over the last 30 years, and gamete donation is routine in fertility clinics. Major advances in genetic diagnostics are part of this development due to the ability to analyze multiple genes or whole genomes fast and to an affordable prize.

Background Dystrophinopathies are X‐linked recessive conditions caused by pathogenic variants in the dystrophin (DMD) gene. In a family that included two boys with Becker muscular dystrophy (BMD) due to a DMD deletion of exons 45–47, maternal carrier ...

Incomplete Partition Type III: Computed Tomography Features and Cochlear Implantation Complications
In this case report, we review a male child who presented with severe bilateral hearing loss. Preoperative high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT) evaluation facilitated the initial diagnosis of the disease, which revealed typical findings of cochlear

Background Founder populations that have recently undergone important genetic bottlenecks such as French-Canadians and Ashkenazi Jews can harbor some pathogenic variants at a higher carrier rate than the general population, putting them at a higher risk ...

Genetic Etiology and Clinical Consequences of Cone Disorders [PDF]
Hereditary retinal disorders constitute a large heterogeneous group of diseases in which the photoreceptors are primarily aff ected. When cone cells are aff ected, one cannot see details or perceive color.

Genetic Heterogeneity in Patients with X-Linked Recessive Chronic Granulomatous Disease [PDF]
Genetic heterogeneity in 12 patients from 11 different families with X-linked recessive chronic granulomatous disease was studied by Southern blot analysis using cytochrome b heavy-chain cDNA as a probe. We found the abnormal restriction length fragment patterns of the cytochrome b heavy-chain gene in three families, which were not observed in healthy ...

ACE 2 Coding Variants: A Potential X-linked Risk Factor for COVID-19 Disease
Viral genetic variants are widely known to influence disease progression among infected humans. Given the recent and rapid emergence of pandemic SARS-CoV-2 infection, the cause of COVID-19 disease, viral protein variants have attracted research interest.
