Identity-by-descent refines mapping of candidate regions for preaxial polydactyly II /III in a large Chinese pedigree
نویسندگان
چکیده
Preaxial polydactyly (PPD) is congenital hand malformation characterized by the duplication of digit. Herein, we scan the genome-wide SNPs for a large Chinese family with PPD-II/III. We employ the refined IBD algorithm to identify the identity-by-decent (IBD) segments and compare the frequency among the patients and normal relatives. A total of 72 markers of 0.01 percentile of the permutation are identified as the peak signals. Among of them, 57markers locate on chromosome 7q36 which is associated with PPD. Further analyses refine the mapping of candidate region in chromosome 7q36 into two 380 Kb fragments within LMBR1 and SHH respectively. IBD approach is a suitable method for mapping causal gene of human disease. Target-enrichment sequencing as well as functional experiments are required to illustrate the pathogenic mechanisms for PPD in the future.

An increased duplication of ZRS region that caused more than one supernumerary digits preaxial polydactyly in a large Chinese family
Preaxial polydactyly (PPD) is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and characterized by the presence of one or more supernumerary digits on the thumb side. It had been identified that point mutation or genomic duplications of the long-range limb-specific cis-regulator - zone of polarizing activity regulatory sequence (ZRS) cause PPD or other limb deformities such as syndactyly type IV (SD...
متن کاملAn unusual case of preaxial polydactyly of the hand
Preaxial polydactyly is the most common duplication pattern in white and Asian populations (1). It is a congenital anomaly with a wide range of manifestations .Current classification do not have the capacity to classify all different types of radial polydactyly. We describe here a very rare and unusual case of bilateral preaxial polydactyly (triplication) in a woman and report the operations re...
متن کاملIdentity by descent in the mapping of genetic traits
This report shows how the descent of genome from an ancestor to currently observed descendants results in identity by descent (IBD) in current individuals, and hence similarities in their DNA at genetic marker loci. Conversely, data on the marker genotypes of individuals provides inferences of shared descent of genome in current individuals, not just genome-wide, but in specific genome regions....
متن کاملIdentity-by-descent estimation and mapping of qualitative traits in large, complex pedigrees.
Computing identity-by-descent sharing between individuals connected through a large, complex pedigree is a computationally demanding task that often cannot be done using exact methods. What I present here is a rapid computational method for estimating, in large complex pedigrees, the probability that pairs of alleles are IBD given the single-point genotype data at that marker for all individual...
متن کاملModularity Lifting Theorems for Galois Representations of Unitary Type
We prove modularity lifting theorems for l-adic Galois representations of any dimension satisfying a unitary type condition and a Fontaine-Laffaille type condition at l. This extends the results of Clozel, Harris and Taylor ([CHT08]), and the subsequent work by Taylor ([Tay08]). The proof uses the Taylor-Wiles method, as improved by Diamond, Fujiwara, Kisin and Taylor, applied to Hecke algebras...
