identification of genes and mutations in 10 iranian families with nsarhl by whole exome sequencing
introduction: with prevalence figures close to 0.2% at birth, hearing loss (hl) is the most frequent sensory impairment in childhood. in developed countries, genetic causes account for more than 60% of congenital hl, most often resulting in non-syndromic deafness, which is usually autosomal recessive. hereditary nonsyndromic hearing loss (nshl) in iran is highly heterogeneous, rendering molecul...
متن کاملWhole exome sequencing unravels disease-causing genes in consanguineous families in Qatar.
Whole exome sequencing (WES) has greatly facilitated the identification of causal mutations for diverse human genetic disorders. We applied WES as a molecular diagnostic tool to identify disease-causing genes in consanguineous families in Qatar. Seventeen consanguineous families with diverse disorders were recruited. Initial mutation screening of known genes related to the clinical diagnoses di...
متن کاملfamily-based whole-exome sequencing for identifying novel variants in consanguineous families with schizophrenia
conclusions by applying wes, both novel and known scz pathogenic variants with complete or incomplete segregation in the families with multiple cases of schizophrenic patients were identified. background schizophrenia (scz) is a complex neuropsychiatric disorder characterized by pronounced genetic heterogeneity. much of the genetic architecture of the disorder has not yet been clearly elucidate...
متن کاملIdentification of the rs797045105 in the SERAC1 gene by Whole-Exome Sequencing in a Patient Suspicious of MEGDEL Syndrome
Whole Exome Sequencing (WES) has been increasingly utilized in genetic determinants of various inherited diseases. We identified a new variation in SERAC1 as the cause of 3-Methylglutaconic Aciduria (MEG), Deafness (D), Encephalopathy (E), and Leigh-like (L), MEGDEL syndrome using WES. We found an insertion, rs797045105 (chr6, 158571484, C>CCATG), in the SERAC1 gene with homozygous genotype in ...
متن کاملIdentification and Clinical Implications of Novel MYO15A Mutations in a Non-consanguineous Korean Family by Targeted Exome Sequencing
Mutations of MYO15A are generally known to cause severe to profound hearing loss throughout all frequencies. Here, we found two novel MYO15A mutations, c.3871C>T (p.L1291F) and c.5835T>G (p.Y1945X) in an affected individual carrying congenital profound sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) through targeted resequencing of 134 known deafness genes. The variant, p.L1291F and p.Y1945X, resided in the ...
