A novel mutation in BBS7 gene causes Bardet–Biedl syndrome in a Chinese family
PURPOSE To describe the clinical features of and identify a novel mutation in Bardet-Biedl syndrome 7 gene (BBS7) in a Chinese family. METHODS Nineteen individuals at risk for inheriting Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) in a Chinese family participated in the study. Physical examination was performed and blood was drawn for DNA extraction. Linkage analysis was conducted for all known BBS loci, and...
متن کاملNew mutations in BBS genes in small consanguineous families with Bardet-Biedl syndrome: Detection of candidate regions by homozygosity mapping
PURPOSE Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS, OMIM 209900) is a rare multi-organ disorder in which BBS patients manifest a variable phenotype that includes retinal dystrophy, polydactyly, mental delay, obesity, and also reproductive tract and renal abnormalities. Mutations in 14 genes (BBS1-BBS14) are found in 70% of the patients, indicating that additional mutations in known and new BBS genes remain to ...

متن کاملWhole Exome Sequencing Identifies a Novel and a Recurrent Mutation in BBS2 Gene in a Family with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder known to be caused by mutations in at least 19 BBS genes. We report the genetic analysis of a patient with indisputable features of BBS including cardinal features such as postaxial polydactyly, retinitis pigmentosa, obesity, and kidney failure. Taking advantage of next-generation sequencing technology, we applied whole exome se...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel Mutation in CNNM4 Gene in an Iranian Family with Jalili Syndrome
Background and Objectives: Jalili syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, which so far, only 33 families with this disorder have been reported worldwide. Patients with this disease simultaneously develop cone-rod retinal dystrophy (CRD) and amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). In this study, a mutation causing Jalili syndrome, was investigated in an Iranian family. Case Report: The...
