A Homozygous Mutation in the Lamin A/C Gene Associated with a Novel Syndrome of Arthropathy, Tendinous Calcinosis, and Progeroid Features

wuthering heights and the concept of marality/a sociological study of the novel

to discuss my point, i have collected quite a number of articles, anthologies, and books about "wuthering heights" applying various ideas and theories to this fantastic story. hence, i have come to believe that gadamer and jauss are rightful when they claim that "the individaul human mind is the center and origin of all meaning," 3 that reading literature is a reader-oriented activity, that it ...

Identification of a Novel Mutation in CNNM4 Gene in an Iranian Family with Jalili Syndrome

Background and Objectives: Jalili syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, which so far, only 33 families with this disorder have been reported worldwide. Patients with this disease simultaneously develop cone-rod retinal dystrophy (CRD) and amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). In this study, a mutation causing Jalili syndrome, was investigated in an Iranian family.   Case Report: The...

A Novel Splice Site Mutation in HPS1 Gene is Associated with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome-1 (HPS1) in an Iranian Family

A Novel Nonsense mutation in PANK2 Gene in Two Patients with Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration

Pantothenate kinase- associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive extrapyramidal dysfunction and iron accumulation in the brain and axonal spheroids in the central nervous system. It has been shown that the disorder is caused by mutations in PANK2 gene which codes for a mitochondrial enzyme participating in coenzyme A biosynthe...

Homozygous missense mutation in the lamin A/C gene causes autosomal recessive Hutchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome.

H utchinson-Gilford progeria syndrome (HGPS; MIM 176670) is an extremely rare genetic disorder displaying features reminiscent of premature senescence. 2 Typically, affected children appear normal at birth, but begin to develop characteristic symptoms within the first years of life such as failure to thrive, alopecia, lipodystrophy, and scleroderma-like skin changes. Though the first HGPS cases...
