Two different connexin 26 mutations in an inbred kindred segregating non-syndromic recessive deafness: implications for genetic studies in isolated populations.
Non-syndromic recessive deafness (NSRD) is the most common form of prelingual hereditary hearing loss. To date, 10 autosomal NSRD loci (DFNBs) have been identified by genetic mapping; at least three times as many additional loci are expected to be identified. We have performed linkage analyses in two inter-related inbred kindreds, comprised of >50 affecteds, from a single Israeli-Arab village s...
متن کاملBladder cancer: allelic deletions at and around the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene in relation to stage and grade.
Inhibition of the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor gene (RB) is probably important in the pathogenesis of urinary bladder cancer. Little information is available concerning allelic loss on 13q11 to 13q32 and its relation to grade and stage. In a population-based study, freshly frozen tissue was collected from all new cases of urinary bladder cancer in the Stockholm region during 1995-1996. Here ...
متن کاملA Moroccan family with autosomal recessive sensorineural hearing loss caused by a mutation in the gap junction protein gene connexin 26 (GJB2).
We report a mutation in the connexin 26 gene (Cx26) in a consanguineous Moroccan family linked to the DFNA3/DFNB1 locus on human chromosome 13q11-q12. Affected subjects display congenital, bilateral, sensorineural hearing loss. We have previously identified Cx26 mutations in consanguineous Pakistani families. This current finding indicates that Cx26 mutations are not restricted to ethnically an...
متن کاملVisual impairment reversal with oral acitretin therapy in keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome
GJB2: gap junction protein b2 KID: keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness INTRODUCTION Keratitis-ichthyosis-deafness (KID) syndrome is a rare genodermatosis with approximately 100 published cases. Although it is classified as an autosomal dominant disorder, more than 90% of cases are caused by sporadic mutations predominantly in gap junction protein b2 (GJB2) on chromosome 13q11-q12 (OMIM 148210). GJB2 ...
متن کاملStructure, expression, and chromosome mapping of LATS2, a mammalian homologue of the Drosophila tumor suppressor gene lats/warts.
We have cloned and characterized LATS2, a novel mammalian homologue of the Drosophila tumor suppressor gene lats/warts. Northern blot analysis showed ubiquitous expression of mouse LATS2 (MmLATS2) mRNA, whereas expression of human LATS2 (HsLATS2) mRNA was enhanced in skeletal muscle and heart. Immunoblotting analysis of fractionated cell lysates showed HsLats2 to be a nuclear protein. We mapped...
