identification of a de novo 3bp deletion in cryba1/a3 gene in autosomal dominant congenital cataract
autosomal dominant congenital cataract (adcc) is the most common form of inherited cataracts and accounts for one-third of congenital cataracts. heterozygous null mutations in the crystallin genes are the major cause of the adcc. this study aims to detect the mutational spectrum of four crystallin genes, cryba1/a3 , crybb1 , crybb2 and crygd in an iranian family. genomic dna was isolated from w...
متن کاملMultiple de novo copy number variations in two subjects with developmental problems and multiple congenital anomalies
Background De novo copy number variation (CNV) can occur constitutionally in gametogenesis or in early development leading to sporadic genomic disorders. Such de novo CNVs appear to also be important in somatic mutagenesis relevant to cancer and population events important to species evolution. Since large pathological CNVs are rarely observed at more than one locus in a single patient, and are...
متن کاملRare De Novo Copy Number Variants in Patients with Congenital Pulmonary Atresia
BACKGROUND Ongoing studies using genomic microarrays and next-generation sequencing have demonstrated that the genetic contributions to cardiovascular diseases have been significantly ignored in the past. The aim of this study was to identify rare copy number variants in individuals with congenital pulmonary atresia (PA). METHODS AND RESULTS Based on the hypothesis that rare structural varian...
متن کاملVACTERL Association Etiology: The Impact of de novo and Rare Copy Number Variations.
Copy number variations (CNVs), either DNA gains or losses, have been found at common regions throughout the human genome. Most CNVs neither have a pathogenic significance nor result in disease-related phenotypes but, instead, reflect the normal population variance. However, larger CNVs, which often arise de novo, are frequently associated with human disease. A genetic contribution has long been...
متن کاملIdentification of Genetic and Epigenetic Variations in a Rat Model for Neurodevelopmental Disorders
A combination of genetic variations, epimutations and environmental factors may be involved in the etiology of complex neurodevelopmental disorders like schizophrenia. To study such disorders, we use apomorphine-unsusceptible (APO-UNSUS) Wistar rats and their phenotypic counterpart apomorphine-susceptible (APO-SUS) rats that display a complex phenotype remarkably similar to that of schizophreni...
