Five Novel Mutations in the Ferrochelatase Gene
Erythropoietic Protoporphyria (EPP) is an inherited disorder of porphyrin metabolism in which decreased activity of ferrochelatase (FECH) leads to accumulation of protoporphyrin IX (PP IX) in red blood cells, plasma, liver, bile and increased excretion in feces. Clinically, EPP is characterized by photosensitivity that includes burning, swelling, itching and painful erythema in sun exposed area...
متن کاملNovel Heterogenous CHS1 Mutations Identified in Five Japanese Patients with Chediak-Higashi Syndrome
Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a rare, autosomal recessive disorder characterized by oculocutaneous albinism, recurrent bacterial infections and progressive neurological dysfunction. We demonstrate novel heterogenous mutations of CHS1, the responsive gene of CHS, identified in five Japanese patients with CHS. Patients 1, 2, and 3 were siblings, and they had albinism of the skin and hair. The...
متن کاملFive novel TTR variants: associated phenotypes and structural consequences
Objective Transthyretin (ATTR) amyloidosis is the commonest form of hereditary amyloidosis. More than 120 amyloidogenic TTR mutations have been described and with few exceptions, these are rare, reported only in isolated kindreds. We describe here the clinical characteristics and disease course in 11 patients with novel TTR mutations. The structural consequence of replacing the wildtype amino a...
متن کاملFive novel CNGB3 gene mutations in Polish patients with achromatopsia
PURPOSE To identify the genetic basis of achromatopsia (ACHM) in four patients from four unrelated Polish families. METHODS In this study, we investigated probands with a clinical diagnosis of ACHM. Ophthalmologic examinations, including visual acuity testing, color vision testing, and full-field electroretinography (ERG), were performed in all patients (with the exception of patient p4, who ...
متن کاملNovel mutations in GJA1 cause oculodentodigital syndrome.
Oculodentodigital syndrome (ODD) is a rare, usually autosomal-dominant disorder that is characterized by developmental abnormalities of the face, eyes, teeth, and limbs. The most common clinical findings include a long, narrow nose, short palpebral fissures, type III syndactyly, and dental abnormalities including generalized microdontia and enamel hypoplasia. Recently, it has been shown that mu...
