AbstractWe describe the second case of congenital disorder of glycosylation type
IL (CDG‐IL) caused by deficiency of the ALG9 a1,2 mannosyltransferase enzyme.
The female infant's features included psychomotor retardation, seizures,
hypotonia, diffuse brain atrophy with delayed myelination, failure to thrive,
pericardial effusion, cystic renal disease, hepatosplenomegaly, esotropia, and
inverted ni... hiện toàn bộ
Clinical and molecular characterization of the first adult congenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) type Ic patientAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A - Tập 137A Số 1 - Trang 22-26 - 2005

AbstractCongenital disorder of glycosylation (CDG) type Ic, the second largest
subtype of CDG, is caused by mutations in human ALG6 (hALG6). This gene encodes
the α1,3‐glucosyltransferase that catalyzes transfer of the first glucose
residue to the lipid‐linked oligosaccharide precursor for N‐linked
glycosylation. In this report, we describe the first adult patient diagnosed
with CDG‐Ic, carrying t... hiện toàn bộ
Overgrowth syndrome associated with a gain‐of‐function mutation of the natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (NPR2) geneAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A - Tập 164 Số 1 - Trang 156-163 - 2014

ABSTRACTThe signal pathway of the C‐type natriuretic (CNP) and its receptor,
natriuretic peptide receptor 2 (NPR2) is involved in the longitudinal growth of
long bones. Loss of function mutations at NPR2 cause acromesomelic dysplasia,
type Maroteaux, while overproduction of CNP by chromosomal translocation and a
gain‐of‐function mutation at NPR2 have been reported to be responsible for an
overgrow... hiện toàn bộ
Treatment of hypophosphatemic rickets in generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) without worsening of vascular calcificationAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A - Tập 170 Số 5 - Trang 1308-1311 - 2016
Carlos R. Ferreira, Shira G. Ziegler, Ashutosh Gupta, Catherine Groden, Kevin Hsu, William A. Gahl
Patients with generalized arterial calcification of infancy (GACI) develop
vascular calcifications early in life. About half of them die within the first 6
months despite optimal medical care. A subset of those who survive eventually
develop hypophosphatemic rickets. Since hypophosphatemia and hyperphosphaturia
have been previously associated with increased survival in GACI patients,
physicians of... hiện toàn bộ
Truncating mutations in the last exon of NOTCH3 cause lateral meningocele syndromeAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A - Tập 167 Số 2 - Trang 271-281 - 2015

Lateral meningocele syndrome (LMS, OMIM%130720), also known as Lehman syndrome,
is a very rare skeletal disorder with facial anomalies, hypotonia and
meningocele‐related neurologic dysfunction. The characteristic lateral
meningoceles represent the severe end of the dural ectasia spectrum and are
typically most severe in the lower spine. Facial features of LMS include
hypertelorism and telecanthus,... hiện toàn bộ
Muscle involvement and motor function in amyoplasiaAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A - Tập 140A Số 16 - Trang 1757-1767 - 2006

AbstractThe most common form of arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is
amyoplasia. Diagnostic criteria are highly specific, with decreased muscle mass,
typical contractures and limb positioning at birth. Intellectual development is
normal. The aims of this study were to investigate how muscle strength and
contractures affect motor function in amyoplasia, and to relate current
functional statu... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic contribution for non‐syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NS CL/P) in different regions of Brazil and implications for association studiesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A - Tập 155 Số 7 - Trang 1581-1587 - 2011

AbstractNon‐syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NS CL/P) is a
complex disease in which heritability estimates vary widely depending on the
population studied. To evaluate the importance of genetic contribution to NS
CL/P in the Brazilian population, we conducted a study with 1,042 families from
five different locations (Santarém, Fortaleza, Barbalha, Maceió, and Rio de
Janeiro). We a... hiện toàn bộ
Infants' MTHFR polymorphisms and nonsyndromic orofacial clefts susceptibility: A meta‐analysis based on 17 case–control studiesAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A - Tập 158A Số 9 - Trang 2162-2169 - 2012

AbstractMethylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), an important enzyme in
folate metabolism, is thought to be involved in the development of nonsyndromic
orofacial clefts (NSOC). However, conflicting results have been achieved when
evaluating the associations between infants' MTHFR C677T and A1298C
polymorphisms and the risk of NSOC. To obtain more precise estimations of these
associations, a me... hiện toàn bộ
MTHFR, TGFB3, and TGFA polymorphisms and their association with the risk of non‐syndromic cleft lip and cleft palate in ChinaAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part A - Tập 152A Số 2 - Trang 291-298 - 2010
Jianghui Zhu, Ling Hao, Song Li, Lynn B. Bailey, Yihua Tian, Li Zhu
AbstractOur previous results indicated a moderate association between the
methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) gene 677C‐T variant and an increased
risk of non‐syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (nsCL/P) among the
northern but not southern population in China, suggesting possible genetic
heterogeneity in the etiology of nsCL/P between these two populations. It
remains unknown ... hiện toàn bộ
