Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes - Pitfalls and Possibilities [PDF]

, 2015
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease that is caused by a complex interplay between genetic, epigenetic and environmental factors. While the major environmental factors, diet and activity level, are well known, identification of the genetic factors ...

Novel MYL1 Intron Variant With Expanded Phenotype

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Congenital myopathy‐14 (CMYO14) is an ultrarare autosomal recessive disorder caused by biallelic variants in MYL1, with only four patients reported to date. We describe what is likely the fifth reported patient, a neonate with severe hypotonia, respiratory insufficiency, and skeletal anomalies showing distinct histological changes of skeletal ...

Cytosolic Phosphoenoylpyruvate Carboxykinase Deficiency: Clinical, Biochemical, and Genetic Features of Five Non‐Finnish Patients

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Cytosolic phosphoenoylpyruvate carboxykinase (PEPCK‐C) is an essential, rate‐limiting enzyme in the gluconeogenesis pathway. PEPCK‐C deficiency presents with hypoglycaemia, hyperlactataemia and hepatopathy, and was first reported in association with bi‐allelic PCK1 variants in 2014.

Facilitating Genetic Testing for Perinatal Demise: Development of a Multidisciplinary Workflow

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Genetic contributors to perinatal demise are common but frequently undiagnosed due to clinical and logistical barriers. We aimed to improve access to genetic for intrauterine fetal demise (IUFD), stillbirth, and early neonatal death by developing a multidisciplinary workflow.

TCF7L2 rs7903146 variant does not associate with smallness for gestational age in the French population

BMC Medical Genetics, 2007
Background In adults, the TCF7L2 rs7903146 T allele, commonly associated with type 2 diabetes (T2D), has been also associated with a lower body mass index (BMI) in T2D individuals and with a smaller waist circumference in subjects with impaired glucose ...

Prenatal Evaluation of RNU4‐2 Variants in Fetuses With Central Nervous System Anomalies

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Fetal central nervous system (CNS) anomalies are among the most common congenital malformations, yet the overall prenatal diagnostic yield of current genetic testing remains below 40%. Variants in RNU4‐2, a non‐coding gene encoding the U4 small nuclear RNA (snRNA), have recently been linked to a novel highly recurrent dominant ...
