Whole Exome Sequencing Reveals a XPNPEP3 Novel Mutation Causing Nephronophthisis in a Pediatric Patient
Background: Nephronophthisis (NPHP) is a progressive tubulointestinal kidney condition that demonstrates an AR inheritance pattern. Up to now, more than 20 various genes have been detected for NPHP, with NPHP1 as the first one detected. X-prolyl aminopeptidase 3 (XPNPEP3) mutation is related to NPHP-like 1 nephropathy and late onset NPHP. Methods: The proband (index patient) had polyuria, polyd...
متن کاملImaging neuronal loss and recovery in compromised but viable brain tissue.
basic disease mechanism has also recently been implicated in a novel form of hereditary spastic paraparesis due to mutations in another beta-propeller protein, tectonin beta-propeller repeat-con-taning 2, TECPR2 (Oz-Levi et al., 2012). However it is still unclear how increased autophagy relates to iron accumulation. Various basic mechanisms have been implicated in NBIA (altered iron metabolism ...
متن کاملBPAN: the only X-linked dominant NBIA disorder.
Beta-propeller protein-associated neurodegeneration (BPAN) is the most recently identified subtype of neurodegeneration with brain iron accumulation (NBIA), being unique with respect to the underlying disease genetics, the associated clinical presentation, and the suggested pathomechanism. Mutations in X-chromosomal WDR45 arise de novo; however, the dominant pattern of inheritance is unusual fo...
متن کاملWhole Exome Sequencing Reveals a BSCL2 Mutation Causing Progressive Encephalopathy with Lipodystrophy (PELD) in an Iranian Pediatric Patient
Background: Progressive encephalopathy with or without lipodystrophy is a rare autosomal recessive childhood-onset seipin-associated neurodegenerative syndrome, leading to developmental regression of motor and cognitive skills. In this study, we introduce a patient with developmental regression and autism. The causative mutation was found by exome sequencing. Methods: The proband showed a gener...
متن کاملJapanese WDR45 de novo mutation diagnosed by exome analysis: A case report
A 40-year-old Japanese woman presented with slowly progressing parkinsonism in adulthood. She had a history of epilepsy with intellectual disability in childhood. In a head magnetic resonance scan, T2-weighted imaging showed low signal intensity areas in the globus pallidus and the substantia nigra; T1-weighted imaging showed a halo in the nigra. Because the patient's symptoms and history were ...
