Spectrum of hemojuvelin gene mutations in 1q-linked juvenile hemochromatosis.
Juvenile or type 2 hemochromatosis (JH) is transmitted as a recessive trait that leads to severe iron overload and organ damage typically before age 30 years. Linkage to a locus on chromosome 1q has been found in most patients with JH. The recently identified causal gene encodes hemojuvelin, a protein with a proposed crucial role in iron metabolism. A second, rare type of JH, with clinical expr...

متن کاملIs schizophrenia linked to chromosome 1q?
Chromosome 1q? Levinson et al. (1) reported the results of a meta-analysis of families showing no major schizophrenia locus on chromosome 1q. These results, based on a multicenter study of affected sibling pairs (ASPs), are in striking contrast to findings of several recent papers reporting susceptibility loci on 1q in extended families. Significant linkage (LOD 6.5) at 1q21-22 was detected in ...
متن کاملThe Tabby cat locus maps to feline chromosome B1
The Tabby markings of the domestic cat are unique coat patterns for which no causative candidate gene has been inferred from other mammals. In this study, a genome scan was performed on a large pedigree of cats that segregated for Tabby coat markings, specifically for the Abyssinian (Ta-) and blotched (tbtb) phenotypes. There was linkage between the Tabby locus and eight markers on cat chromoso...
متن کاملLocus for atrial fibrillation maps to chromosome 6q14-16.
BACKGROUND Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common clinical arrhythmia, is a major cause of morbidity and mortality. Although AF is often associated with other cardiovascular conditions, many patients present without an obvious etiology. Inherited forms of AF exist, but the causative gene has been defined only in a single family. We have identified a large family (family FAF-1) in which AF se...
