DGAT1 mutation is linked to a congenital diarrheal disorder.
Congenital diarrheal disorders (CDDs) are a collection of rare, heterogeneous enteropathies with early onset and often severe outcomes. Here, we report a family of Ashkenazi Jewish descent, with 2 out of 3 children affected by CDD. Both affected children presented 3 days after birth with severe, intractable diarrhea. One child died from complications at age 17 months. The second child showed ma...
متن کاملA CDH3 Mutation is Segregated in an Iranian Family with Congenital Hypotrichosis and Juvenile Macular Dystrophy
Backgrounds Hypotrichosis with juvenile macular dystrophy (HJMD) is a rare genetic disorder caused from mutations in the Cadherin 3 (CDH3) gene. Results In the present study, we reported an Iranian family with three affected members born to a consanguineous parent. Mutational analysis using whole exome sequencing has revealed a nucleotide change in CDH3 gene (NM_001793:exon8:c.830delG) which l...
متن کاملIdentification and characterization of a novel DGAT1 missense mutation associated with congenital diarrhea[S]
Acyl-CoA:diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT)1 and DGAT2 catalyze triglyceride (TG) biosynthesis in humans. Biallelic loss-of-function mutations in human DGAT1 result in severe congenital diarrhea and protein-losing enteropathy. Additionally, pharmacologic inhibition of DGAT1 led to dose-related diarrhea in human clinical trials. Here we identify a previously unknown DGAT1 mutation in identica...
متن کاملThe congenital goiter mutation is linked to the thyroglobulin gene in the mouse.
Rat thyroglobulin (TG) cDNA clones were used to identify DNA restriction fragment variants among inbred mouse strains. One of these variants was shown to be closely linked to the recessive mutation congenital goiter (cog), which had previously been mapped to mouse chromosome 15. These results indicate that the structural gene for thyroglobulin is on chromosome 15 and suggest that a mutation at ...
متن کاملCongenital Diarrheal Disorders: An Updated Diagnostic Approach
Congenital diarrheal disorders (CDDs) are a group of inherited enteropathies with a typical onset early in the life. Infants with these disorders have frequently chronic diarrhea of sufficient severity to require parenteral nutrition. For most CDDs the disease-gene is known and molecular analysis may contribute to an unequivocal diagnosis. We review CDDs on the basis of the genetic defect, focu...
