Genetic correction of X-linked chronic granulomatous disease with novel foamy virus vectors

Experimental Hematology, 2011
The X-linked form of chronic granulomatous disease (X-CGD) results from mutations in the CYBB gene encoding gp91(phox), the larger subunit of the oxidase flavocytochrome b(558). Affected individuals suffer from recurrent life-threatening infections due to impaired superoxide production by reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH ...

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis of X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease by indirect linkage analysis

Medicina Clínica (English Edition), 2018
To present methodical approach of preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) as an option for an unaffected pregnancy in reproductive-age couples who have a genetic risk of the X-linked dominant peripheral neuropathy Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 disease.We performed PGD of X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth type 1 disease using haplotyping/indirect linkage ...

Genetic analysis of CYBB gene in 26 korean families with X-linked chronic granulomatous disease

Immunological Investigations, 2014
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare hereditary disorder that is characterized by a greatly increased susceptibility to life-threatening bacterial and fungal infections. CGD is caused by mutations in any one of the genes encoding subunits of phagocyte NADPH oxidase.

Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria: an acquired X-linked genetic disease with somatic-cell mosaicism

Current Opinion in Genetics & Development, 2006
Paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a severe hemolytic anemia caused by an intrinsic abnormality of the red blood cells that makes them exceedingly susceptible to the lytic action of activated complement (C). This abnormality results from a mutation in the PIG-A gene on Xp22. Given that the mutation is not inherited but is somatically acquired

X-linked lymphoproliferative disease: genetics and biochemistry.

Reviews in immunogenetics, 2001
Primary immunodeficiencies comprise a broad group of disorders due to germline mutations in genes regulating lymphocyte development and function. One of these genes, DSHP (also known as SH2D1A, SAP), is mutated in X-linked lymphoproliferative syndrome (XLP), an inherited immunodeficiency characterized by increased susceptibility to primary Epstein-Barr

Genetic and phenotypic profile of 112 patients with X‐linked Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 1

European Journal of Neurology, 2018
Background and purposeX‐linked Charcot–Marie–Tooth disease type 1 (CMTX1), caused by mutations in gap junction protein beta 1 (GJB1), is characterized by various central nervous system symptoms and gender differences of clinical severity. The aim of this study was to identify the frequency and mutation spectrum of CMTX1 patients in Japan and to ...

Clinical characterization and genetic analysis of Korean patients with X‐linked Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease type 1

Journal of the Peripheral Nervous System, 2017
AbstractMutations in the gap junction protein beta 1 gene (GJB1) cause X‐linked Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth disease type 1 (CMTX1). CMTX1 is representative of the intermediate type of CMT, having both demyelinating and axonal neuropathic features. We analyzed the clinical and genetic characterization of 128 patients with CMTX1 from 63 unrelated families ...

Data from electronic healthcare records expand our understanding of X‐linked genetic diseases

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A
AbstractDisease specific cohort studies have reported details on X linked (XL) disorders affecting females. We investigated the spectrum and penetrance of XL disorders seen in electronic health records (EHR). We generated a cohort of individuals diagnosed with XL disorders at Vanderbilt University Medical Center over 20 years.

Two kindred with x-linked recessive tuberculous mycobacterial disease: towards a genetic theory of infectious diseases

Pathology, 2010
The observation that only a small fraction of individuals infected by infectious agents develop clinical disease raises fundamental questions about the actual pathogenesis of infectious diseases. Epidemiological and experimental evidence is accumulating to suggest that human genetics plays a major role in this process.

[Genetic analysis and prenatal diagnosis for a pedigree affected with X-linked Norrie disease].

Zhonghua yi xue yi chuan xue za zhi = Zhonghua yixue yichuanxue zazhi = Chinese journal of medical genetics, 2019
To detect mutation of NDP gene in a pedigree affected with Norrie disease.Sanger sequencing was used to analyze the NDP gene at Xp11.3. Prenatal diagnosis was performed on amniotic fluid sample after the causative gene was detected.Sanger sequencing has revealed a c.2T>C (p.M1T) missense mutation of the NDP gene in the proband and the fetus.
