Chromosome Duplication (14q) and The Genotype Phenotype Correlation

Chromosome Duplication (14q) and The Genotype Phenotype Correlation

The rearrangement of chromosome 14 is a rare cytogenetic finding. Changes in the number or structure of chromosome 14 can have a variety of effects, such as delayed growth and development, and distinctive facial features. The human chromosome 14 plays an important role in imprinting events importunes of a structural rearrangement is specifically when a phenotype is caused by imprinting, whereby...

TBC1D24 genotype–phenotype correlation

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the phenotypic spectrum associated with mutations in TBC1D24. METHODS We acquired new clinical, EEG, and neuroimaging data of 11 previously unreported and 37 published patients. TBC1D24 mutations, identified through various sequencing methods, can be found online (http://lovd.nl/TBC1D24). RESULTS Forty-eight patients were included (28 men, 20 women, average age 21 year...

FMF Genotype-phenotype correlation in Iranian Azeri Turks: Association between M694V/R761H mutation and amyloidosis

Objective(s):Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF), an inherited autosomal recessive disorder, is frequently present among individuals of Mediterranean origin. Differences in the clinical manifestations of FMF between different ethnic groups have been documented. The aim of the present study was to determine the most common characteristics of FMF and the relationship between clinical findings and ...

Genotype phenotype correlation in achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia.

Recent studies of the fibroblast growth factor receptor 3 (FGFR3) gene have established that achondroplasia and hypochondroplasia are allelic disorders of different mutations. To determine whether the genotype could be distinguished on the basis of the phenotype, we analysed height, arm span, and skeletal radiographs from 23 patients with achondroplasia and the G380R mutation of FGFR3 and eight...

Genotype-phenotype correlation in long QT syndrome

Congenital long QT syndrome, caused by a cardiac channelopathy, is a leading cause of sudden cardiac death in the young population. In total, 16 genes have been implicated in this condition, with three genes being the most commonly affected. Long QT syndrome is one of the earliest conditions for which a genotype specific treatment was designed. This genotype-phenotype correlation extends to inv...
