متن کاملA Novel Deletion Mutation in ASPM Gene in an Iranian Family with Autosomal Recessive Primary Microcephaly
OBJECTIVE Autosomal recessive primary microcephaly (MCPH) is a neurodevelopmental and genetically heterogeneous disorder with decreased head circumference due to the abnormality in fetal brain growth. To date, nine loci and nine genes responsible for the situation have been identified. Mutations in the ASPM gene (MCPH5) is the most common cause of MCPH. The ASPM gene with 28 exons is essential ...
متن کاملWhole exome sequencing identifies a novel homozygous frameshift mutation in the ASPM gene, which causes microcephaly 5, primary, autosomal recessive
Microcephaly is a genetically heterogeneous disorder and is one of the frequently notable conditions in paediatric neuropathology which exists either as a single entity or in association with other co-morbidities. More than a single gene is implicated in true microcephaly and the list is growing with the recent advancements in sequencing technologies. Using massive parallel sequencing, we ident...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Splice Site Mutation in RUNX2 Gene in a Family with Rare Autosomal Dominant Cleidocranial Dysplasia
Introduction: Pathogenic variants of RUNX2, a gene that encodes an osteoblast-specific transcription factor, have been shown as the cause of CCD, which is a rare hereditary skeletal and dental disorder with dominant mode of inheritance and a broad range of clinical variability. Due to the relative lack of clinical complications resulting in CCD, the medical diagnosis of this disorder is challen...
متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in CLCN1 Gene in a Family with Autosomal Recessive Congenital Myotonia
Congenital recessive myotonia is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in CLCN1, which codes for the main skeletal muscle chloride channel ClC-1. More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here, we report a 59-year male patient suffering from congenital myotonia. He had transient generalized myotonia, which...
