Autosomal dominant exudative vitreoretinopathy.
Twelve affected members from 3 families with autosomal dominant exudative vitreouretinopathy were examined, and the following conclusions were drawn: (1) There is great variability in the phenotypic expression of the abnormal gene, such that many patients have very mild disease which can be detected with certainty only by fluorescein angiography. (2) Gene penetrance is close to 100%. (3) Progre...
متن کاملGenetic heterogeneity in familial exudative vitreoretinopathy; exclusion of the EVR1 locus on chromosome 11q in a large autosomal dominant pedigree.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is associated with mutations in the Norrie disease gene in X linked pedigrees and with linkage to the EVR1 locus at 11q13 in autosomal dominant cases. A large autosomal dominant FEVR family was studied, both clinically and by linkage analysis, to determine whether it differed from the known forms of FEVR. METHODS Affected members and...
متن کاملA new locus for autosomal dominant congenital cataracts maps to chromosome 3.
PURPOSE To map a gene for cataracts in a family with congenital nuclear and sutural cataracts and to examine candidate genes in the linked region. METHODS A large family with autosomal dominant congenital nuclear and sutural cataracts was identified and characterized. A genome-wide screen was conducted with a set of markers spaced at 10- to 15-cM intervals, and linkage was assessed using stan...
متن کاملA new susceptibility locus for autosomal dominant pancreatic cancer maps to chromosome 4q32-34.
Pancreatic cancer is the fifth leading cause of cancer death in the United States. Nearly every person diagnosed with pancreatic cancer will die from it, usually in <6 mo. Familial clustering of pancreatic cancers is commonly recognized, with an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern in approximately 10% of all cases. However, the late age at disease onset and rapid demise of affected individua...
متن کاملKIF11 mutations are a common cause of autosomal dominant familial exudative vitreoretinopathy.
BACKGROUND/AIMS To identify KIF11 mutations in patients with familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) and to describe the associated phenotypes. METHODS Mutation analysis in a cohort of patients in a single institute was conducted. Bioinformatics was performed for whole exome sequencing, and the variants were confirmed by Sanger sequencing. Clinical data and DNA samples were collected from...
