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.

Background: Fabry disease (FD, OMIM #301500) is a rare, progressive, X-linked, inherited genetic disease caused by a functional deficiency of lysosomal α-galactosidase, leading to the accumulation of glycosphingolipids in virtually all of the body ...

Ethics in pre-ART genetics: a missed X-linked Menkes disease case
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.

X-Linked Osteogenesis Imperfecta Possibly Caused by a Novel Variant in PLS3
Osteogenesis imperfecta (OI) represents a complex spectrum of genetic bone diseases that occur primarily due to mutations and deletions of the COL1A1 and COL1A2 genes.

Modeling lethal X-linked genetic disorders in pigs with ensured fertility
Significance The development of therapies for rare and intractable genetic disorders represents a significant unmet medical need. Disease model pigs characterized by physiological, anatomical, and pathogenetic similarities to humans allow translational ...

Predominant Founder Effect among Recurrent Pathogenic Variants for an X-Linked Disorder [PDF]
For disorders with X-linked inheritance, variants may be transmitted through multiple generations of carrier females before an affected male is ascertained. Pathogenic RS1 variants exclusively cause X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS). While RS1 is constrained

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. The model accounts for both de novo mutations (i.e., affected sibling born to unaffected parents) and selection (i.e., distinct fitness rates depending on individual's health conditions).

Robust Genetic Analysis of the X-Linked Anophthalmic (Ie) Mouse [PDF]
Anophthalmia (missing eye) describes a failure of early embryonic ocular development. Mutations in a relatively small set of genes account for 75% of bilateral anophthalmia cases, yet 25% of families currently are left without a molecular diagnosis. Here,
