Isovaleric acidemia: New aspects of genetic and phenotypic heterogeneityAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics - Tập 142C Số 2 - Trang 95-103 - 2006
Jerry Vockley, Regina Ensenauer
AbstractIsovaleric acidemia (IVA) is an autosomal recessive inborn error of
leucine metabolism caused by a deficiency of the mitochondrial enzyme
isovaleryl‐CoA dehydrogenase (IVD) resulting in the accumulation of derivatives
of isovaleryl‐CoA. It was the first organic acidemia recognized in humans and
can cause significant morbidity and mortality. Early diagnosis and treatment
with a protein rest... hiện toàn bộ
Advances in autism neuroimaging research for the clinician and geneticistAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics - Tập 142C Số 1 - Trang 33-39 - 2006
Janet E. Lainhart
AbstractThis review focuses on recent advances in the in vivo study of the whole
brain in idiopathic autism. The brain is abnormally large in some but not all
children with autism during post‐natal development. Age‐related changes in brain
volume in autism are complex and appear to be abnormal from infancy into
adulthood. Diffuse differences in total and regional gray and white matter
volumes are ... hiện toàn bộ
The genetics of obsessive compulsive disorder: A review of the evidenceAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics - Tập 148C Số 2 - Trang 133-139 - 2008
David L. Pauls
AbstractObsessive compulsive disorder (OCD) is a common psychiatric disorder
that can have disabling effects on both adults and children. Twin, family,
segregation, and linkage studies have demonstrated that OCD is familial, that
the familiality is due in part to genetic factors and there are regions of the
genome which very likely harbor susceptibility loci for OCD. Over 60 candidate
gene studies... hiện toàn bộ
SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes and cancerAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics - Tập 166 Số 3 - Trang 350-366 - 2014
Jaclyn A. Biegel, Tracy Busse, Bernard E. Weissman
The identification of mutations and deletions in the SMARCB1 locus in chromosome
band 22q11.2 in pediatric rhabdoid tumors provided the first evidence for the
involvement of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex in cancer. Over the last
15 years, alterations in more than 20 members of the complex have been reported
in a variety of human tumors. These include germline mutations and copy number

Monitoring prenatal alcohol exposureAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics - Tập 127C Số 1 - Trang 3-9 - 2004
R. Louise Floyd, Jasjeet S. Sidhu
AbstractAlcohol use during pregnancy is a leading, preventable cause of birth
defects and developmental disabilities in the United States, with fetal alcohol
syndrome (FAS) being one of the most severe outcomes. Current survey statistics
find that approximately one in eight pregnant women (500,000 per year) report
alcohol use, with approximately 80,000 reporting binge drinking. While annual
rates ... hiện toàn bộ
Molecular mechanism of ventricular trabeculation/compaction and the pathogenesis of the left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC)American Journal of Medical Genetics, Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics - Tập 163 Số 3 - Trang 144-156 - 2013
Wei Zhang, Hanying Chen, Xiuxia Qu, Ching-Pin Chang, Weinian Shou
AbstractVentricular trabeculation and compaction are two of the many essential
steps for generating a functionally competent ventricular wall. A significant
reduction in trabeculation is usually associated with ventricular compact zone
deficiencies (hypoplastic wall), which commonly leads to embryonic heart failure
and early embryonic lethality. In contrast, hypertrabeculation and lack of
ventricu... hiện toàn bộ
Diagnostic evaluation of developmental delay/mental retardation: An overviewAmerican Journal of Medical Genetics, Part C: Seminars in Medical Genetics - Tập 117C Số 1 - Trang 3-14 - 2003
Agatino Battaglia, John C. Carey
AbstractMental retardation (MR) is one of the few clinically important disorders
for which the etiopathogenesis is still poorly understood. It is a condition of
great concern for public health and society. MR is currently defined as a
significant impairment of cognitive and adaptive functions, with onset before
age 18 years. It may become evident during infancy or early childhood as
developmental ... hiện toàn bộ

The Ehlers–Danlos syndromes (EDS) are a clinically and genetically heterogeneous
group of heritable connective tissue disorders (HCTDs) characterized by joint
hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. Over the past two
decades, the Villefranche Nosology, which delineated six subtypes, has been
widely used as the standard for clinical diagnosis of EDS. For most of these
subtypes... hiện toàn bộ

congenital abnormality/intellectual disability syndrome characterized by pre‐
and post‐natal overgrowth, distinctive craniofacial features, macrocephaly,
variable congenital malformations, organomegaly, increased risk of tumor and
mild/moderate intellectual deficiency. In 1996, Glypican 3 (GPC3) was identified
