چکیده

Here we report on the clinical findings and key symptoms in WNT10A-related ectodermal dysplasias. The ectodermal dysplasias (ED) are a large, heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by defects in the morphogenesis of skin, sweat, sebaceous, submucous, and mammary glands, hair, nails and teeth. Numerous more or less distinct entities have been reported, however, most of them are very rare and the cause is often unknown. EDA mutations, resulting in hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (Christ Siemens Touraine syndrome) are known as the most common cause of ED. Over the last two years, WNT10A has turned out to be the second major gene associated with ED. WNT10A mutation carriers present with a broad and variable spectrum of symptoms related to at least four known Mendelian conditions as there are autosomal dominant Selective Tooth Agenesis Type 4 and autosomal recessive Adontia of Permanent Dentition (APD), OdontoOnycho-Dermal Dysplasia (OODD), and Schöpf-SchulzPassarge syndrome (SSPS). In heterozygotes, penetrance is reduced and only about half of the carriers show a phenotype including mainly tooth and nail anomalies. Approximately 8% of the unaffected individuals in our control group carried a WNT10A mutation. Further studies are necessary. We conclude that WNT10A mutation analysis might become an important diagnostic test in many patients with selective tooth agenesis or severe oligodontia concerning the permanent teeth.

A novel hybrid genetic algorithm to solve the make-to-order sequence-dependent flow-shop scheduling problem

Flow-shop scheduling problem (FSP) deals with the scheduling of a set of n jobs that visit a set of m machines in the same order. As the FSP is NP-hard, there is no efficient algorithm to reach the optimal solution of the problem. To minimize the holding, delay and setup costs of large permutation flow-shop scheduling problems with sequence-dependent setup times on each machine, this pap...

Novel polymorphism of AA-NAT gene in Indian goat breeds differing in reproductive traits

This is the first description of the polymorphisms of arylalkylamine-N-acetyltransferase (AA-NAT) gene in Indian goats with different reproductive traits (twinning percentage and age of sexual maturity). Based on the important role of AA-NAT in reproduction, it is considered as a possible candidate gene for this trait. Two novel synonymous SNPs, C825T (exon2) and C1249T (exon3) were identified....

A Novel Technique for Steganography Method Based on Improved Genetic Algorithm Optimization in Spatial Domain

This paper devotes itself to the study of secret message delivery using cover image and introduces a novel steganographic technique based on genetic algorithm to find a near-optimum structure for the pair-wise least-significant-bit (LSB) matching scheme. A survey of the related literatures shows that the LSB matching method developed by Mielikainen, employs a binary function to reduce the numbe...

Genetics of Type 2 Diabetes- A Review Article

Objective: Type 2 diabetes (T2D) as a complex disease is the result of genetically heterogeneous factors and environmental issues interaction. Linkage and small-scale candidate gene studies were successful in identification of genetic susceptibilities of monogenic form of diseases. However, they were largely unsuccessful while applying to the more common forms of disease. By designing Genome Wi...
