Mutations in CERS3 Cause Autosomal Recessive Congenital Ichthyosis in Humans
Autosomal recessive congenital ichthyosis (ARCI) is a rare genetic disorder of the skin characterized by abnormal desquamation over the whole body. In this study we report four patients from three consanguineous Tunisian families with skin, eye, heart, and skeletal anomalies, who harbor a homozygous contiguous gene deletion syndrome on chromosome 15q26.3. Genome-wide SNP-genotyping revealed a h...
متن کاملMutation in LIM2 Is Responsible for Autosomal Recessive Congenital Cataracts
PURPOSE To identify the molecular basis of non-syndromic autosomal recessive congenital cataracts (arCC) in a consanguineous family. METHODS All family members participating in the study received a comprehensive ophthalmic examination to determine their ocular phenotype and contributed a blood sample, from which genomic DNA was extracted. Available medical records and interviews with the fami...
متن کاملMutations in SLC33A1 cause a lethal autosomal-recessive disorder with congenital cataracts, hearing loss, and low serum copper and ceruloplasmin.
Low copper and ceruloplasmin in serum are the diagnostic hallmarks for Menkes disease, Wilson disease, and aceruloplasminemia. We report on five patients from four unrelated families with these biochemical findings who presented with a lethal autosomal-recessive syndrome of congenital cataracts, hearing loss, and severe developmental delay. Cerebral MRI showed pronounced cerebellar hypoplasia a...
متن کاملMutations in NSUN2 cause autosomal-recessive intellectual disability.
With a prevalence between 1 and 3%, hereditary forms of intellectual disability (ID) are among the most important problems in health care. Particularly, autosomal-recessive forms of the disorder have a very heterogeneous molecular basis, and genes with an increased number of disease-causing mutations are not common. Here, we report on three different mutations (two nonsense mutations, c.679C>T ...
متن کاملMutations in SLC6A17 cause autosomal-recessive intellectual disability.
Homozygous SLC6A17-mutations cause autosomalrecessive intellectual disability with progressive tremor, speech impairment, and behavioral problems Iqbal Z et al. (2015) American Journal of Human Genetics 96(3): 386–396 Intellectual disability (ID) is a heterogeneous and debilitating neurodevelopmental disorder which affects up to 3% of the general population. Despite the high prevalence, only up...
