Copy-number disorders are a common cause of congenital kidney malformations.
We examined the burden of large, rare, copy-number variants (CNVs) in 192 individuals with renal hypodysplasia (RHD) and replicated findings in 330 RHD cases from two independent cohorts. CNV distribution was significantly skewed toward larger gene-disrupting events in RHD cases compared to 4,733 ethnicity-matched controls (p = 4.8 × 10(-11)). This excess was attributable to known and novel (i....
متن کاملHuman gene copy number spectra analysis in congenital heart malformations.
The clinical significance of copy number variants (CNVs) in congenital heart disease (CHD) continues to be a challenge. Although CNVs including genes can confer disease risk, relationships between gene dosage and phenotype are still being defined. Our goal was to perform a quantitative analysis of CNVs involving 100 well-defined CHD risk genes identified through previously published human assoc...
متن کاملRare Copy Number Variants Are a Common Cause of Short Stature
Human growth has an estimated heritability of about 80%-90%. Nevertheless, the underlying cause of shortness of stature remains unknown in the majority of individuals. Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) showed that both common single nucleotide polymorphisms and copy number variants (CNVs) contribute to height variation under a polygenic model, although explaining only a small fraction of o...
متن کاملRET gene mutations are not a common cause of congenital solitary functioning kidney in adults
ischaemia-reperfusion, plasma creatinine concentrations were significantly lower in thiamine-deficient rats than in control rats (71.7 ± 22.2 versus 162 ± 106, respectively, P = 0.02). In this study, we found that thiamine deficiency complicated by weight loss is protective against renal IRI rather than a factor that increases susceptibility. Interestingly, it is long known that in hearts prolo...
متن کاملGenomic Rearrangements and Gene Copy-Number Alterations as a Cause of Nervous System Disorders
Genomic disorders are a group of human genetic diseases caused by genomic rearrangements resulting in copy-number variation (CNV) affecting a dosage-sensitive gene or genes critical for normal development or maintenance. These disorders represent a wide range of clinically distinct entities but include many diseases affecting nervous system function. Herein, we review selected neurodevelopmenta...
