Exclusion of calcitonin as a candidate gene for the basic defect in a family with autosomal dominant supravalvular aortic stenosis.

چکیده
Supravalvular aortic stenosis (SVAS) may occur as an isolated autosomal dominant trait or as a feature of Williams syndrome. It has been suggested that a defect in calcitonin function may play a role in Williams syndrome. We have excluded calcitonin as a candidate gene for SVAS using a gene specific probe.

Spectrum of findings in a family with nonsyndromic autosomal dominant supravalvular aortic stenosis: a Doppler echocardiographic study.
Nonsyndromic familial supravalvular aortic stenosis is an autosomal dominant disorder. However, for many reported families, systematic study of all family members with echocardiographic or hemodynamic techniques has not been performed and degree of penetrance has not been assessed. The supravalvular stenosis in these family members usually is not associated with mental retardation or other char...
متن کاملFamilial supravalvular aortic stenosis: a genetic study.
Supravalvular aortic stenosis (McKusick 18550) is a rare hereditary condition with autosomal dominant transmission. However, the available data have been limited to small family groups which do not allow the definition of the degree of penetrance of the disease. The present study describes a large family with a high frequency of supravalvular aortic stenosis including five generations and 80 su...

a ventricular septal defect. Secondly, there are hereditary disorders with normal chormosomes in which CHD is common. An example is Marfan's syndrome, which is often associated with aortic or mitral regurgitation. Thirdly, there is isolated CHD, which may be idiopathic or inherited. Conditions that may be inherited as autosomal dominants include supravalvular aortic stenosis without hypercalcae...

Osteogenesis imperfecta was diagnosed in early life on clinical grounds including the presence of blue sclerae and the occurrence of several bone fractures secondary ...
متن کاملLinkage analysis of infantile pyloric stenosis and markers from chromosome 9q11-q33: no evidence for a major gene in this candidate region.
A genetic component in the aetiology of infantile pyloric stenosis (PS) is well established. Segregation analysis is compatible with a multifactorial sex modified threshold model of inheritance but a major gene of low penetrance has not been excluded. PS has been reported to occur in 57% (four of seven) of cases with duplication of chromosome 9q11-q33. Twenty families with PS were studied using...
