PCDH19 mutations in female patients from Southern Italy
PURPOSE Mutations in PCDH19, encoding protocadherin 19 on chromosome X, cause familial epilepsy and mental retardation limited to females or Dravet-like syndrome. We wished to explore the causative role of PCDH19 gene (Xq22) in female patients with epilepsy, from Southern Italy. METHODS Direct sequencing of PCDH19 gene was conducted in 31 unrelated female patients with early onset (<1 year of...
متن کاملEffectiveness of antiepileptic therapy in patients with PCDH19 mutations
PURPOSE PCDH19 mutations cause epilepsy and mental retardation limited to females (EFMR) or Dravet-like syndromes. Especially in the first years of life, epilepsy is known to be highly pharmacoresistant. The aim of our study was to evaluate the effectiveness of antiepileptic therapy in patients with PCDH19 mutations. METHODS We report a retrospective multicenter study of antiepileptic therapy...

متن کاملThalassemic Mutations in Southern Iran
Background: Approximately 180 mutations have been described in β-thalassemia worldwide with specific spectrum in each ethnic population. This study determines the spectrum and the frequency of β-thalassemia mutations in patients with β-thalassemia trait and sickle cell-β-thalassemia. Methods: Fifteen compound heterozygous sickle cell thalassemia (SCT) and 23 β-thalassemia trait patients were st...
متن کاملAssociation between HFE mutations and acute myocardial infarction: a study in patients from Northern and Southern Italy.
There is interest in the role of iron in age-related diseases such as atherosclerosis. Tissue iron deposition could be harmful, because Fe(2+) can react with H(2)O(2) to form OH(-) radicals and Fe(2+) can react with O(2) to form reactive oxygen species. Free radicals react with cell membranes and cell organelles and could lead to the development of atherosclerosis by initiating lipid peroxidati...
