CLN8 disease caused by large genomic deletions
BACKGROUND The presence of deletions can complicate genetic diagnosis of autosomal recessive disease. METHOD The DNA of patients was analyzed in a diagnostic setting. RESULTS We present three unrelated patients each carrying deletions that encompass the 37 kb CLN8 gene and discuss their phenotype. Two of the cases were hemizygous for a mutant allele - their deletions unmasked a mutation in ...
متن کاملMolecular diagnosis of pituitary adenoma predisposition caused by aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein gene mutations.
Pituitary adenomas are common neoplasms of the anterior pituitary gland. Germ-line mutations in the aryl hydrocarbon receptor-interacting protein (AIP) gene cause pituitary adenoma predisposition (PAP), a recent discovery based on genetic studies in Northern Finland. In this population, a founder mutation explained a significant proportion of all acromegaly cases. Typically, PAP patients were o...
متن کاملHydrocephalus complicating pituitary adenoma.
Hydrocephalus complicated the clinical course of four patients with pituitary adenoma. In three it was noted late, long after surgical intervention and radiotherapy had been carried out. In one patient, hydrocephalus was part of the presenting syndrome. The differential diagnosis of hypopituitarism and occult hydrocephalus is difficult. The possibility of hydrocephalus complicating a pituitary ...
متن کاملLarge-scale genomic deletions mediated by CRISPR/Cas9 system
Owing to its simplicity of manipulation and high efficiency, the CRISPR/Cas9 technology has already been achieved as a robust genome engineering tool for generating gene mutations, multiple-gene knockout and knock-in in various species. However, tissues and genomic mosaicism have been widely reported in the gentically modified animals generated from zygotes that were coinjected with Cas9 mRNA a...
متن کاملLarge Genomic Deletions in CACNA1A Cause Episodic Ataxia Type 2
Episodic ataxia (EA) syndromes are heritable diseases characterized by dramatic episodes of imbalance and incoordination. EA type 2 (EA2), the most common and the best characterized subtype, is caused by mostly nonsense, splice site, small indel, and sometimes missense mutations in CACNA1A. Direct sequencing of CACNA1A fails to identify mutations in some patients with EA2-like features, possibl...
