Genotype-phenotype correlation in L1 associated diseases.

Genotype-phenotype correlation in L1 associated diseases.

The neural cell adhesion molecule L1 (L1CAM) plays a key role during embryonic development of the nervous system and is involved in memory and learning. Mutations in the L1 gene are responsible for four X linked neurological conditions: X linked hydrocephalus (HSAS), MASA syndrome, complicated spastic paraplegia type 1 (SP-1), and X linked agenesis of the corpus callosum. As the clinical pictur...

Chromosome Duplication (14q) and The Genotype Phenotype Correlation

RAMEDIS - Rare Metabolic Diseases Publishing Tool for Genotype-Phenotype Correlation

To gain further knowledge about rare genetic diseases, a world wide method for data collection via the Internet has been established. This new approach will improve collecting valuable data from single case reports. RAMEDIS saves standardised patient data which will be usable for statistics, longitudinal examinations and co-operative studies in future time. Embedded in the scene of the German H...

TBC1D24 genotype–phenotype correlation

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the phenotypic spectrum associated with mutations in TBC1D24. METHODS We acquired new clinical, EEG, and neuroimaging data of 11 previously unreported and 37 published patients. TBC1D24 mutations, identified through various sequencing methods, can be found online (http://lovd.nl/TBC1D24). RESULTS Forty-eight patients were included (28 men, 20 women, average age 21 year...

FMF Genotype-phenotype correlation in Iranian Azeri Turks: Association between M694V/R761H mutation and amyloidosis

Objective(s):Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, is frequently present among individuals of Mediterranean origin. Differences in the clinical manifestations of FMF between different ethnic groups have been documented. The aim of the present study was to determine the most common characteristics of FMF and the relationship between clinical findings and ...
