Whole-exome sequencing identifies a novel ALMS1 mutation (p.Q2051X) in two Japanese brothers with Alström syndrome
PURPOSE No mutations associated with Alström syndrome (AS), a rare autosomal recessive disease, have been reported in the Japanese population. The purpose of this study was to investigate the genetic and clinical features of two brothers with AS in a consanguineous Japanese family. METHODS Whole-exome sequencing analysis was performed on two brothers with AS and their unaffected parents. We p...
متن کاملDiagnostic application of clinical exome sequencing in Leber congenital amaurosis
PURPOSE Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a hereditary retinal dystrophy with wide genetic heterogeneity. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) targeting multiple genes can be a good option for the diagnosis of LCA, and we tested a clinical exome panel in patients with LCA. METHODS A total of nine unrelated Korean patients with LCA were sequenced using the Illumina TruSight One panel, which targ...
متن کاملCRB1-Related Leber Congenital Amaurosis: Reporting Novel Pathogenic Variants and a Brief Review on Mutations Spectrum
Background: Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) is a rare inherited retinal disease causing severe visual impairment in infancy. It has been reported that 9-15% of LCA cases have mutations in CRB1 gene. The complex of CRB1 protein with other associated proteins affects the determination of cell polarity, orientation, and morphogenesis of photoreceptors. Here, we report three novel pathogenic varia...
متن کاملWhole exome sequencing identifies FBN1 mutations in two patients with early-onset type B aortic dissection
The etiology of thoracic aortic aneurysm and dissection (TAAD) is complex and heterogeneous. Emerging evidence has demonstrated that genetic causes may be a consideration in early‑onset TAAD. Owing to overlapping clinical phenotypes and the genetic heterogeneity of TAAD, it is challenging for clinicians to make a molecular diagnosis of TAAD, particularly in those who present with non‑specific s...
