We read with interest the article of Arciola et al. (1) on the presence of icaA and icaD genes in Staphylococcus aureus and S. epidermidis isolates from catheter-associated infections and its correlation with a slime-positive phenotype detected with Congo red agar. These are the organisms most frequently the cause of foreign-body-related infections. The polysaccharide intercellular adhesin (PIA...
Thiopurine S-methyltransferase (TPMT) is a cytosolic enzyme, catalyzing S-methylation of thiopurine drugs. TPMT exhibits autosomal codominant polymorphism. Patients carrying a variant genotype have low TPMT activity, and produce elevated levels of 6-thioguanine nucleotides (6-TGN) in their red blood cells (RBC). 6-TGN accumulation may result in azathioprine (AZA)-induced bone marrow myelosuppre...
OBJECTIVES To report the genetic basis of Leber congenital amaurosis (LCA) in northern Pakistan and to describe the phenotype. METHODS DNA from 14 families was analyzed using single-nucleotide polymorphism and microsatellite genotyping and direct sequencing to determine the genes and mutations involved. The history and examination findings from 64 affected individuals were analyzed to show ge...
Multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2 is an autosomal-dominant hereditary cancer syndrome caused by missense gain-of-function mutations of the rearranged during transfection proto-oncogene, which encodes the receptor tyrosine kinase, on chromosome 10. It has a strong penetrance of medullary thyroid carcinomas and can be associated with bilateral pheochromocytoma and primary hyperparathyroidism. M...
In this study we used restriction endonuclease mapping to characterise the molecular defect responsible for haemoglobin H disease in 14 Sardinian children. The resulting genotypes were then correlated with the respective clinical and haematological phenotypes. We found that patients with the combination of non-deletion alpha(+)-thalassaemia [(alpha alpha)th] and deletion alpha(0)-thalassaemia (...
BACKGROUND Pompe's disease is a progressive myopathy caused by mutations in the lysosomal enzyme acid alphaglucosidase gene (GAA). A wide clinical variability occurs also in patients sharing the same GAA mutations, even within the same family. METHODS For a large series of GSDII patients we collected some clinical data as age of onset of the disease, presence or absence of muscular pain, Walt...
BACKGROUND Deletions and mutations in the NSD1 gene are the major cause of Sotos syndrome. We wanted to evaluate the genotype-phenotype correlation in patients suspected of having Sotos syndrome and determine the best discriminating parameters for the presence of a NSD1 gene alteration. METHODS Mutation and fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis was performed on blood samples of 59 patie...
We performed a clinical, biochemical, and genetic study in 16 patients from 11 families with adult-onset acid maltase deficiency. All patients were compound heterozygotes and carried the IVS1(-13T --> G) transversion on one allele; the second allele harbored either a deletion of a T at position 525 in exon 2 (7 probands, 64%) or a deletion of exon 18 (1 proband, 9%). Deterioration of handicap w...
We provide two methods for identifying changes in genotype that are correlated with changes in a phenotype implied by phylogenetic trees. The first method, VENN, works when the number of branches over which the change occurred are modest. VENN looks for genetic changes that are completely penetrant with phenotype changes on a tree. The second method, CCTSWEEP, allows for a partial matching betw...
