Evaluation of Ficolin-3 (FCN3) 1637delC (rs28357092) Frameshift Mutation in Iranian Type 2 Diabetic Subjects
Background and Aims: Ficolins are proteins that bind to carbohydrates, act as opsonins and play an important role in innate immunity. Polymorphism in ficolin-3 gene (FCN3) can lead to complement deficiency and increase the risk of some disorders such as diabetes. The aim of this study was to investigate the frequency of FCN3+1637delC as a single nucleotide polymorphism in this gene in healthy a...
متن کاملFamilial Hypercholesterolemia in Iran: A Novel Frameshift Mutation in Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR) Gene
Background and Objective: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is an autosomal trait, which is caused by mutations in Low Density Lipoprotein Receptor (LDLR) gene. FH penetrance is about 100% and worldwide prevalence for heterozygous subjects is almost 1 in 500 and for homozygous 1 in 1,000,000. The patients are at risk of premature coronary heart disease (CHD) due to defective LDLR a...
متن کاملHeterozygous endothelin receptor B (EDNRB) mutations in isolated Hirschsprung disease.
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR, aganglionic megacolon) is a frequent congenital malformation regarded as a multigenic neurocristopathy. Two susceptibility genes have been recently identified in HSCR, namely the RET proto-oncogene and the endothelin B receptor (EDNRB) gene. Hitherto however, homozygosity for EDNRB mutations accounted for the HSCR-Waardenburg syndrome (WS) association. Here, we repor...
متن کاملFamilial isolated hyperCKaemia associated with a new mutation in the caveolin-3 (CAV-3) gene.
An 18 year old man and his mother both presented with persistent, isolated raised serum creatine kinase (hyperCKaemia) without muscle symptoms. Analysis of caveolin-3 protein expression in muscle biopsy of the propositus showed a reduction in the protein. Genetic analysis revealed a new heterozygous mutation in the caveolin-3 (CAV-3) gene: a C-->T transition at nucleotide position 83 in exon 1 ...
متن کاملHeterozygous P250L mutation of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 in a case of isolated craniosynostosis.
Craniosynostoses are caused by premature fusion of one or more sutures of the infant’s skull with an incidence between 1:1000 and 1:10 000. Isolated and syndromic forms can be differentiated and are involved in over 150 genetic disorders. Syndromic forms tend to be inherited and include variable other malformations of the extremities, the backbone, and the face. Isolated forms of craniosynostos...
