Alpha-mannosidosis: correlation between phenotype, genotype and mutant MAN2B1 subcellular localisation

Alpha-mannosidosis: correlation between phenotype, genotype and mutant MAN2B1 subcellular localisation

BACKGROUND Alpha-mannosidosis is caused by mutations in MAN2B1, leading to loss of lysosomal alpha-mannosidase activity. Symptoms include intellectual disabilities, hearing impairment, motor function disturbances, facial coarsening and musculoskeletal abnormalities. METHODS To study the genotype-phenotype relationship for alpha-mannosidosis 66 patients were included. Based on the predicted ef...

Chromosome Duplication (14q) and The Genotype Phenotype Correlation

FMF Genotype-phenotype correlation in Iranian Azeri Turks: Association between M694V/R761H mutation and amyloidosis

Objective(s):Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, is frequently present among individuals of Mediterranean origin. Differences in the clinical manifestations of FMF between different ethnic groups have been documented. The aim of the present study was to determine the most common characteristics of FMF and the relationship between clinical findings and ...

Alpha-mannosidosis

Alpha-mannosidosis is an inherited lysosomal storage disorder characterized by immune deficiency, facial and skeletal abnormalities, hearing impairment, and intellectual disability. It occurs in approximately 1 of 500,000 live births. The children are often born apparently normal, and their condition worsens progressively. Some children are born with ankle equinus or develop hydrocephalus in th...

TBC1D24 genotype–phenotype correlation

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the phenotypic spectrum associated with mutations in TBC1D24. METHODS We acquired new clinical, EEG, and neuroimaging data of 11 previously unreported and 37 published patients. TBC1D24 mutations, identified through various sequencing methods, can be found online (http://lovd.nl/TBC1D24). RESULTS Forty-eight patients were included (28 men, 20 women, average age 21 year...
