Whole-Exome Sequencing in Familial Parkinson Disease [PDF]

JAMA Neurology, 2016
Parkinson disease (PD) is a progressive neurodegenerative disease for which susceptibility is linked to genetic and environmental risk factors.To identify genetic variants contributing to disease risk in familial PD.A 2-stage study design that included a discovery cohort of families with PD and a replication cohort of familial probands was used. In the

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.

Unexpected perinatal death caused by an occult MTM1 mutation: a case report

Frontiers in Medicine
BackgroundGenetic mutations can lead to miscarriages, perinatal deaths, and abnormalities in fetal development. Sometimes, the regular prenatal test cannot identify some rare diseases, but whole-exome sequencing can be performed.

Early Clinical, Imaging, and Pathological Characteristics of SRPK3/TTN‐Digenic Myopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy was recently established as a skeletal muscle myopathy caused by digenic inheritance. This study characterizes the early clinical presentation of SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy in one previously reported and seven newly identified pediatric patients.

Prominent Movement Disorders in RNU2‐2‐Related Spliceosomopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pediatric movement disorders often overlap with neurodevelopmental diseases, suggesting shared molecular mechanisms. Variants in small nuclear RNA (snRNA) genes encoding spliceosome components have recently been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders, termed “RNUopathies.” We analyzed genome sequencing data from 14 patients with ...

Whole exome sequencing enhances diagnosis of hereditary bronchiectasis

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases
Background Hereditary bronchiectasis refers to a subset of bronchiectasis related to genetic mutations, presenting with common clinical features. Historically, diagnosing this condition has been difficult due to the inaccessibility of diagnostic services

A 57‐Year‐Old Male With Behavioral Variant Frontotemporal Dementia and MATR3 and NOS3 Mutations

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This report presents a case of behavioral variant frontotemporal dementia caused by mutations in the MATR3 and NOS3 genes, aiming to analyze its clinical manifestations and genetic characteristics. For a case presenting with personality changes and gait abnormalities as the initial symptoms, this study conducted a comprehensive analysis of its

Whole-exome sequencing in familial atrial fibrillation [PDF]

European Heart Journal, 2014
Positional cloning and candidate gene approaches have shown that atrial fibrillation (AF) is a complex disease with familial aggregation. Here, we employed whole-exome sequencing (WES) in AF kindreds to identify variants associated with familial AF.WES was performed on 18 individuals in six modestly sized familial AF kindreds. After filtering very rare
