HLA-DR typing in coeliac disease: evidence for genetic heterogeneity.
Sixty nine propositi from a family study of coeliac disease were typed for HLA-DR antigens. Sixty three (91%) were found to carry the antigen DR3, which was a significantly greater proportion (p = 9.6 X 10(-24] than among the 168 controls (26%). Concurrently 42 children with the disease were DR typed. Not only was the frequency of DR3 significantly increased in these patients (86% versus 26% in...
متن کاملEvidence for further genetic heterogeneity in nephronophthisis.
BACKGROUND A new type of nephronophthisis (NPH) has been recently identified in a large Venezuelan kindred: adolescent nephronophthisis (NPH3) causes end-stage renal disease (ESRD) at a median age of 19 years. The responsible gene (NPHP3) maps to 3q21-q22. NPH3 shares with juvenile nephronophthisis (NPH1) the same disease manifestations such as polyuria, polydipsia, and secondary enuresis. Hist...
متن کاملEvidence for genetic heterogeneity in tuberous sclerosis.
The question of genetic heterogeneity in tuberous sclerosis (TSC) was addressed by genetic linkage studies in eight affected families using nine polymorphic markers (EFD126.3, MCT136, ABO, ABL, AK1, and MCOA12 from distal 9q, and PBGD, MCT128.1, and 1CJ52.208M from distal 11q). The data as a whole supported a TSC locus on distal 9q, the peak lod score on multipoint analysis being 3.77 at 6 cM p...
متن کاملGenetic Heterogeneity in Human Disease
Strong evidence suggests that rare mutations of severe effect are responsible for a substantial portion of complex human disease. Evolutionary forces generate vast genetic heterogeneity in human illness by introducing many new variants in each generation. Current sequencing technologies offer the possibility of finding rare disease-causing mutations and the genes that harbor them.
متن کاملGenetic heterogeneity in Gaucher disease.
Considerable clinical variability occurs in adult Gaucher disease type I and three main subtypes may be delineated: a very mild form, a severe form, and a moderate form which itself presents various clinical manifestations. A study based on 25 families from our clinic and a review of published reports showed that when both parents were heterozygous and more than one child was affected with Gauc...
