Novel locus for an inherited cardiomyopathy maps to chromosome 7.
BACKGROUND Genetic mutations are the most common cause of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and an increasingly recognized cause of dilated cardiomyopathy. Autosomal dominant HCM is caused by mutations in sarcomere proteins; such mutations are not universally present, however, and fail to account for &40% of cases of phenotypic HCM. To add further complexity, other genetic origins can mimic the...
متن کاملFamilial dilated cardiomyopathy locus maps to chromosome 2q31.
BACKGROUND Inherited gene defects are an important cause of dilated cardiomyopathy. Although the chromosome locations of some defects and 1 disease gene (actin) have been identified, the genetic etiologies of most cases of familial dilated cardiomyopathy remain unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS We clinically evaluated 3 generations of a kindred with autosomal dominant transmission of dilated cardi...
متن کاملThe locus for an inherited cataract in sheep maps to ovine chromosome 6
PURPOSE Cataracts are an important cause of blindness in humans but there are few large animal models available. One of these animal models is Ovine Heritable Cataract, a bilateral cortical cataract which develops after birth. This cataract has been used as a model for human cataracts in drug trials, but the gene responsible for the cataract trait is unknown. A genetic test for cataract would i...
متن کاملA novel genetic locus for low renin hypertension: familial hyperaldosteronism type II maps to chromosome 7 (7p22).
Familial hyperaldosteronism type II (FH-II) is caused by adrenocortical hyperplasia or aldosteronoma or both and is frequently transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion. Unlike FH type I (FH-I), which results from fusion of the CYP11B1 and CYP11B2 genes, hyperaldosteronism in FH-II is not glucocorticoid remediable. A large family with FH-II was used for a genome wide search and its members w...
متن کاملFamilial Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome maps to a locus on chromosome 7q3.
We have mapped a disease locus for Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome (WPW) and familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (FHC) segregating in a large kindred to chromosome 7 band q3. Although WPW syndrome and FHC have been observed in members of the same family in prior studies, the relationship between these two diseases has remained enigmatic. A large family with 25 surviving individuals who are affe...
