Hematologic and genetic characterization of an MYH9-related disorder in a Chinese family.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe a Chinese family with an MYH9-related disorder in which a novel mutation V1516L at exon 31 of the MYH9 gene was identified. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported Chinese family with MYH9 mutation and supports the pan-ethnic nature of the disorder.

MYH9-related disorders, previously distinguished in four syndromes (Epstein syndrome, Fechter syndrome, Sebastian syndrome, May-Hegglin anomaly) based on the combination of different clinical findings at the time of diagnosis; appear to be only one rare nosological entity (MYH9RD). It has been recognized that they are all phenotypic variants due to mutation in MYH9 gene (heterozygous pathogenic...

Myosin heavy chain-9-related disorders (MYH9-RDs) are a group of autosomal-dominant disorders caused by mutations in the MYH9 gene. The features include congenital macrothrombocytopaenia, inclusion bodies in neutrophils and a variable risk of developing sensorineural deafness, progressive renal impairment and presenile cataracts. A 44-year-old Caucasian man was initially thought to have Alport'...

متن کاملMYH9 gene polymorphisms may be associated with cerebrovascular blood flow in patients with type 2 diabetes.
Genetic factors play an important role in type 2 diabetes (T2D) complications. Alteration of cerebrovascular blood flow (CBF) is a direct result of cerebrovascular diseases. However, few studies have reported the role of genetics on CBF in patients with T2D. We investigated whether single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in metabolic disease genes are associated with CBF in patients with T2D. CB...
