A dominant mutation in the gene encoding the erythroid transcription factor KLF1 causes a congenital dyserythropoietic anemia.
The congenital dyserythropoietic anemias (CDAs) are inherited red blood cell disorders whose hallmarks are ineffective erythropoiesis, hemolysis, and morphological abnormalities of erythroblasts in bone marrow. We have identified a missense mutation in KLF1 of patients with a hitherto unclassified CDA. KLF1 is an erythroid transcription factor, and extensive studies in mouse models have shown t...
متن کاملCongenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type III (CDA-III) is a group of very rare disorders characterized by similar bone marrow morphology. The clinical picture is characterized by hemolytic anemia and dramatic bone marrow changes dominated by active erythropoiesis with big multinucleated erythroblasts. The aim of this review is to describe the clinical manifestations, l...
متن کاملA novel mutation in the Connexin 46 gene causes autosomal dominant congenital cataract with incomplete penetrance.
C ongenital or paediatric cataract is a phenotypically and genetically heterogeneous disorder consisting of lens opacities in early life. Thirteen genes have been described for autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC). These include genes for seven members of the crystallin family, 2 which are responsible for the refractive index and transparency of the lens, two connexin genes 4 and major...
متن کاملDiagnosis: Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia Type 2 Due to Compound Heterozygote Mutation in SEC23B Gene
Figure 1. A and B: Marked dyserythropoiesis, nuclear bridging, binucleation, and multinucleation of the erythroid precursors. A 14-year-old female patient was admitted to our hospital because of paleness and icterus. She had been investigated at different centers for chronic anemia, icterus, and splenomegaly since age 6. She had no history of blood transfusion, drug usage, or fever. There was n...
متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in the ALDH13 Gene Causes Anophthalmia in Two Unrelated Iranian Consanguineous Families
Anophthalmia or microphthalmia (A/M) is a rare group of congenital/developmental ocular malformations, characterized by absent or small eye within the orbit affecting one or both eyes. It has complex etiology with chromosomal, monogenic with high heterogeneity, and environmental causes. We performed genome SNP-array analysis followed by autozygosity mapping and sequencing in the members o...
