Identification of a Rare Synonymous Beta Globin Mutation, HBB:c.180G>A codon 59 (G>A) in an Iranian Patient
Authors
Abstract:
Beta thalassemia is the most common autosomal recessive disorder. The present study reports a rare β globin gene mutation, HBB: c.180G>A: codon 59 (AAG/AAA), in a patient from Gilan province, northern Iran. Nucleotide sequencing of amplified DNA belonging to a 35 years old man presenting mild hypochromia revealed a synonymous mutation due to a G>A conversion at the third position of codon 59 of the beta globin gene. The haplotype combination of 2 restriction enzyme sites in beta globin cluster was determined for this mutation. To our knowledge, this is the first article reporting a synonymous mutation at codon 59 (G>A) among the Iranian population highlighting once again the high heterogeneity of this population.

full textIdentification of Synonymous Codon Usage Bias in the Pseudorabies Virus UL31 Gene
Background: Little knowledge of synonymous codon usage pattern of pseudorabies virus (PRV) genome, especially the UL31 gene in the process for its evolution is available. Objectives: In the present study, the codon usage bias between PRV UL31 sequence and the UL31-like sequences was identified. Materials and Methods: We used a comprehensive analysi...
full textIdentification of a Novel Mutation in CNNM4 Gene in an Iranian Family with Jalili Syndrome
Background and Objectives: Jalili syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disorder, which so far, only 33 families with this disorder have been reported worldwide. Patients with this disease simultaneously develop cone-rod retinal dystrophy (CRD) and amelogenesis imperfecta (AI). In this study, a mutation causing Jalili syndrome, was investigated in an Iranian family. Case Report: The...
full textIdentification of a Novel CLCNKB Mutation in an Iranian Family with Bartter Syndrome Type 3.
Bartter syndrome (BS) is a group of uncommon genetic disorders of reabsorption of salt in the cortical thick ascending limb (TAL) of the Henle's loop, typically distinguished by metabolic alkalosis, salt loss, hypokalemia, hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism and normal blood pressure. Bartter syndrome type 3, recognized as a classic BS (CBS), occurs because of mutations in CLCNKB gene. We enroll...
full textA Compound Heterozygous HPD Mutation in an Iranian Patient with Hypertyrosinemia Type III
Background and Aims: Hypertyrosinemia type 3 (HT3) is an inherited error in tyrosine metabolism caused by a mutation in the 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase (HPD) gene. Here we report a one and half-year-old girl infant who was diagnosed based on increased serum tyrosine levels and increased urinary excretion of p-hydroxyphenyl derivatives. Materials and Methods: The proband was one and ha...
full textThe selection-mutation-drift theory of synonymous codon usage.
It is argued that the bias in synonymous codon usage observed in unicellular organisms is due to a balance between the forces of selection and mutation in a finite population, with greater bias in highly expressed genes reflecting stronger selection for efficiency of translation. A population genetic model is developed taking into account population size and selective differences between synony...
