متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in CLCN1 Gene in a Family with Autosomal Recessive Congenital Myotonia

More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability.

متن کاملA Mutation in LTBP2 Causes Congenital Glaucoma in Domestic Cats (Felis Catus)
The glaucomas are a group of diseases characterized by optic nerve damage that together represent a leading cause of blindness in the human population and in domestic animals. Here we report a mutation in LTBP2 that causes primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) in domestic cats. We identified a spontaneous form of PCG in cats and established a breeding colony segregating for PCG consistent with full...
متن کاملCongenital heart disease in cats

Pulmonic and aortic stenosis are relatively rare. Patent ductus arteriosus is extremely uncommon. However one has to be aware that cats often have multiple congenital defects and do present as adults with ...
