Further support for digenic inheritance in Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder characterised by the primary features of obesity, retinal dystrophy, polydactyly, renal malformations, mental retardation, and hypogenitalism. Patients with BBS also have an increased risk for developing diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and congenital heart disease. Seven loci have been mapped with evidence of at least one addi...
متن کاملEvidence for digenic inheritance in some cases of Antley-Bixler syndrome?
The Antley-Bixler syndrome has been thought to be caused by an autosomal recessive gene. However, patients with this phenotype have been reported with a new dominant mutation at the FGFR2 locus as well as in the offspring of mothers taking the antifungal agent fluconazole during early pregnancy. In addition to the craniosynostosis and joint ankylosis which are the clinical hallmarks of the cond...

The Antley-Bixler syndrome has been thought to be caused by an autosomal recessive gene. However, patients with this phenotype have been reported with a new dominant mutation at the FGFR2 locus as well as in the oVspring of mothers taking the antifungal agent fluconazole during early pregnancy.

متن کاملDigenic inheritance in medical genetics
Digenic inheritance (DI) is the simplest form of inheritance for genetically complex diseases. By contrast with the thousands of reports that mutations in single genes cause human diseases, there are only dozens of human disease phenotypes with evidence for DI in some pedigrees. The advent of high-throughput sequencing (HTS) has made it simpler to identify monogenic disease causes and could sim...
متن کاملDigenic Inheritance in Cystinuria Mouse Model
Cystinuria is an aminoaciduria caused by mutations in the genes that encode the two subunits of the amino acid transport system b0,+, responsible for the renal reabsorption of cystine and dibasic amino acids. The clinical symptoms of cystinuria relate to nephrolithiasis, due to the precipitation of cystine in urine. Mutations in SLC3A1, which codes for the heavy subunit rBAT, cause cystinuria t...
