Identifying genes responsible for intellectual disability in consanguineous families.
Consanguinity is an important determinant of birth defects including intellectual disability (ID). Consanguineous populations have a relative high prevalence of autosomal recessive forms of intellectual disability (ARID), which constitute a highly heterogeneous group of disorders both in their clinical presentation and in their genetic aetiology. The availability of large cohorts of consanguine...
متن کاملGenetic dissection of two Pakistani families with consanguineous localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis (LAH)
Objective(s): Genetic analysis of two consanguineous Pakistani families with localized autosomal recessive hypotrichosis was performed with the goal to establish genotype-phenotype correlation. Materials and Methods: Genomic DNA extraction had been done from peripheral blood samples. Extracted DNA was then subjected to PCR (polymerase chain reaction) for amplification. Linkage analysis was perf...
متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in the ALDH13 Gene Causes Anophthalmia in Two Unrelated Iranian Consanguineous Families
Anophthalmia or microphthalmia (A/M) is a rare group of congenital/developmental ocular malformations, characterized by absent or small eye within the orbit affecting one or both eyes. It has complex etiology with chromosomal, monogenic with high heterogeneity, and environmental causes. We performed genome SNP-array analysis followed by autozygosity mapping and sequencing in the members o...
متن کاملIdentical by descent L1CAM mutation in two apparently unrelated families with intellectual disability without L1 syndrome.
Mutations in the L1 Cell Adhesion Molecule (L1CAM) gene (MIM#308840) cause a variety of X-linked recessive neurological disorders collectively called L1 syndrome. Using massively parallel sequencing (MPS) of the X-chromosome exome, we identified a novel missense variant in L1CAM in two Caucasian families with mild-moderate intellectual disability without obvious L1 syndrome features. These fami...
متن کاملA Missense Mutation in the HMNT Gene Responsible for Autosomal Recessive Intellectual Disability in an Iranian Family with Consanguineous Marriage
Background and Aims: One of the neurotransmitters in the brain is Histamine which acts as several biological mechanism regulators like inflammation, gastric acid secretion, and neuromodulation. Inactivation of Histamine occurs by histamine N-methyltransferase (HNMT) enzyme. The HNMT transfers a methyl group from S-adenosyl-L-methionine to Histamine and is the main process for the termination of...
