Background: Why some individuals experience severe neuropathy following infection is unknown. Nucleocytoplasmic trafficking (NCT) an essential process in nucleated cells, and its disruption has been implicated many neurodegenerative conditions including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) frontotemporal dementia.
Background/Objectives: X-linked dystrophinopathies are a group of neuromuscular diseases caused by pathogenic variants in the DMD gene (MIM *300377). Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD; MIM #310200) is most common inherited dystrophy. Methods: We screened datasets 403 male, genetically confirmed dystrophinopathy patients and identified 13 that have not been described literature thus far. For all we provide additional data on clinical course, genotype–phenotype correlations as well histological...
Aniridia is a congenital, panocular abnormality which characterized by partial or complete absence of iris and various degrees hypoplasia. Mutations in the PAX6 gene are found ~90% cases with aniridia. The human located at chromosome 11p13 encodes transcriptional regulator that has crucial roles development eyes, central nervous system pancreatic islets. present study performed clinical genomic analysis two families containing multiple All exons probands were sequenced using Sanger...
Abstract Background Why some individuals experience severe neuropathy following infection is unknown. Nucleocytoplasmic trafficking (NCT) an essential process in nucleated cells, and its disruption has been implicated many neurodegenerative conditions including amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) frontotemporal dementia. Methods We performed genomic clinical studies 24 from 12 families with acute onset axonal neuropathy. Genetic variants were characterized by thermal stability enzymatic...
Background/aim: CHARGE syndrome is a rare autosomal dominant disease with multiple congenital anomalies and cognitive impairment, which caused by mutations in the CHD7 gene. This study aimed to disclose mild end of phenotypic spectrum syndrome, has highly variable expressivity. Materials methods: Twenty-one patients who had at least one major symptoms (coloboma, choanal atresia, characteristic ear anomalies, semicircular canal hypoplasia, cranial nerve anomalies) were included study. All...
Background and aim: The number of reports on the role tubulin gene mutations (TUBA1A, TUBB2B, TUBB3) in etiology malformations cortical development has peaked recent years. We aimed to determine defects a patient population with simple complex development, investigate relationship between disease phenotype.Materials methods: evaluated 47 patients or as determined by radiological examination, for demographic features, clinical findings TUBA1A, TUBB3 genes. Results: According magnetic...
