Co‐segregation of a homozygous SMN1 deletion and a heterozygous PMP22 duplication in a patient
نویسندگان
چکیده
Despite co-segregation of two different genetic neurological disorders within a family is rare, clinicians should take into consideration this possibility in patients presenting with unusual complex phenotypes or with unexpected electrophysiological findings. Here, we report a Spanish 11-month-old patient with spinal muscular atrophy type 2 and Charcot-Marie-Tooth 1A.

Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 1 A (CMT1A, OMIM #118220) and hereditary neuropathy with liability to pressure palsies (HNPP or tomaculous neu-ropathy, OMIM #162500) are autosomal dominantly inherited neuropathies caused by genomic rearrangements on chromosome 17p11.2-p12 containing PMP22. Heterozygous PMP22 duplications result in a peripheral neuropathy characterized by distal muscular atroph...

Background & Aims: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The frequency of carriers of this disease is one in forty to one in sixty. SMA occurs in 98% of cases due to the homozygous deletion of SMN1 exons 7 and 8. The purpose of this study was to evaluating the deletion and point mutations of the SMN1 gene in patients with SMA in west Az...
متن کاملSMN1 and NAIP genes deletions in different types of spinal muscular atrophy in Khuzestan province, Iran
Background: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is the second most common lethal autosomal recessive disease. It is a neuromuscular disorder caused by degenerative of lower motor neurons and occasionally bulbar neurons leading to progressive limb paralysis and muscular atrophy. The SMN1 gene is recognized as a SMA causing gene while NAIP has been characterized as a modifying factor for the clinical ...

Background and Objectives: The neuromuscular degenerative disorder, known as spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), is a common fatal disease in neonates. In most patients with SMA, exon 7 and/or exon 8 of SMN1 gene is deleted. It is reported that the deletion of exon 5 from NAIP gene may be involved in the severity of SMA disease. The present study was aimed to evaluate the genotype- phenotype correla...

Background: HOX genes are an exceedingly preserved family of homeodomain-involving transcription factors. They are related to a number of malignancies, comprising acute myeloid leukemia (AML). This study aimed to evaluate the effect of HOXB1 7bp deletion mutation on HOXB1gene expression in 36 individuals. Materials and Methods: The present cross-sectional study was done on a large Iranian fami...
