Large Genomic Imbalances in Brugada Syndrome
PURPOSE Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a form of cardiac arrhythmia which may lead to sudden cardiac death. The recommended genetic testing (direct sequencing of SCN5A) uncovers disease-causing SNVs and/or indels in ~20% of cases. Limited information exists about the frequency of copy number variants (CNVs) in SCN5A in BrS patients, and the role of CNVs in BrS-minor genes is a completely unexplored ...
متن کاملGenomic imbalances in mental retardation.
INTRODUCTION It has been estimated that cytogenetically visible rearrangements are present in approximately 1% of newborns. These chromosomal changes can cause a wide range of deleterious developmental effects, including mental retardation (MR). It is assumed that many other cases exist where the cause is a submicroscopic deletion or duplication. To facilitate the detection of such cases, diffe...
متن کاملComplex genetic background in a large family with Brugada syndrome
The Brugada syndrome (BrS) is an inherited arrhythmia characterized by ST-segment elevation in V1-V3 leads and negative T wave on standard ECG. BrS patients are at risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD) due to ventricular tachyarrhythmia. At least 17 genes have been proposed to be linked to BrS, although recent findings suggested a polygenic background. Mutations in SCN5A, the gene coding for the c...
متن کاملGenomic imbalances in childhood medulloblastoma by comparative genomic hybridization
We used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) technique to identify the genetic changes in 12 childhood medulloblastoma samples obtained from archived paraffinembedded tissues belonging to children (0.7-15 years-old) using double step degenerate oligonucleotide-primed polymerase chain reaction (DOP-PCR). CGH analysis showed that the most common genetic alterations were gains of chromosomes 4p...
متن کاملBrugada syndrome.
Brugada syndrome is a rare cardiac arrhythmia characterized by electrocardiographic right bundle branch block and persistent ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads. It is associated with ventricular fibrillation and a high risk for sudden cardiac death, predominantly in younger males with structurally normal hearts. Patients can remain asymptomatic, and electrocardiographic patterns...
