Homozygosity mapping of a third Joubert syndrome locus to 6q23.
BACKGROUND Joubert syndrome (JS) is a recessively inherited disorder characterised by hypotonia at birth and developmental delay, followed by truncal ataxia and cognitive impairment, characteristic neuroimaging findings (cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, "molar tooth sign") and suggestive facial features. JS is clinically heterogeneous with some patients presenting with breathing abnormalities in t...
متن کاملHomozygosityMapper—an interactive approach to homozygosity mapping
Homozygosity mapping is a common method for mapping recessive traits in consanguineous families. In most studies, applications for multipoint linkage analyses are applied to determine the genomic region linked to the disease. Unfortunately, these are neither suited for very large families nor for the inclusion of tens of thousands of SNPs. Even if less than 10,000 markers are employed, such an ...
متن کاملHomozygosity mapping of a Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome gene to chromosome 18q21.1.
Dyggve-Melchior-Clausen syndrome (DMC) is an autosomal recessive condition characterised by short trunk dwarfism, scoliosis, microcephaly, coarse facies, mental retardation, and characteristic radiological features. X rays show platyspondyly with double vertebral hump, epiphyseal dysplasia, irregular metaphyses, and a characteristic lacy appearance of the iliac crests. Electron microscopy of ch...
متن کاملHomozygosity mapping of a gene for arterial tortuosity syndrome to chromosome 20q13.
BACKGROUND Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS) is an uncommon connective tissue disorder of unknown aetiology. The most prominent feature is tortuosity of the large arteries, but lengthening, stenosis, and aneurysm formation are also frequent. METHODS We performed a genomewide screen by homozygosity mapping of three consanguineous multiplex families, two from Morocco, and one from Italy, which...
متن کاملHomozygosity mapping of a Desbuquois dysplasia locus to chromosome 17q25.3.
Desbuquois dysplasia is a rare autosomal recessive chondrodysplasia characterised by short stature, joint laxity, facial dysmorphism, a "Swedish key" appearance of the proximal femur, advanced carpal and tarsal bone age, and hand anomalies consisting of phalangeal dislocations and an extra ossification centre distal to the second metacarpal. However, the latter changes are not consistently obse...
