Genetic and clinical aspects of Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth's disease Tập 6 Số 2 - Trang 98-118 - 1974
H Skre
The prevalence of Charcot‐Marie‐Tooth's disease (CMT) was studied in Western
Norway, an area with several isolated districts with a population of 725,000
(1968). Three hereditary types were distinguished in the area: autosomal
dominant CMT with an estimated prevalence of 36/100,000; X‐linked recessive CMT
with a prevalence of 3.6/100,000; and autosomal recessive CMT with a prevalence
of 1.4/100,00... hiện toàn bộ
Review of the Lynch syndrome: history, molecular genetics, screening, differential diagnosis, and medicolegal ramifications Tập 76 Số 1 - Trang 1-18 - 2009
Lynch Ht, P. M. Lynch, Stephen J. Lanspa, Carrie Snyder, Jane F. Lynch, CR Boland
More than one million patients will manifest colorectal cancer (CRC) this year
of which, conservatively, approximately 3% (∼30,700 cases) will have Lynch
syndrome (LS), the most common hereditary CRC predisposing syndrome. Each case
belongs to a family with clinical needs that require genetic counseling, DNA
testing for mismatch repair genes (most frequently MLH1 or MSH2) and screening
for CRC. Co... hiện toàn bộ
Gene/environment causes of cleft lip and/or palate Tập 61 Số 4 - Trang 248-256 - 2002
JC Murray
Craniofacial anomalies, and in particular cleft lip and palate, are major human
birth defects with a worldwide frequency of 1 in 700 and substantial clinical
impact. A wide range of studies in developmental biology has contributed to a
better knowledge of how both genes and environmental exposures impact head
organogenesis. Specific causes have now been identified for some forms of cleft
lip and p... hiện toàn bộ
Niemann–Pick disease type C Tập 64 Số 4 - Trang 269-281 - 2003
M T Vanier, Gilles Millat
Niemann‐Pick disease type C (NPC) is an autosomal recessive neurovisceral lipid
storage with a wide spectrum of clinical phenotypes. At the cellular level, the
disorder is characterized by accumulation of unesterified cholesterol and
glycolipids in the lysosomal/late endosomal system. Approximatively 95% of
patients have mutations in the NPC1 gene (mapped at 18q11) which encodes a large
membrane g... hiện toàn bộ
Biochemical effect of liver transplantation in two Swedish patients with familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP‐met30) Tập 40 Số 3 - Trang 242-246 - 1991
Gösta Holmgren, Lars Steen, Jan Ekstedt, Carl‐Gustav Groth, B.‐G. Ericzon, Siv Eriksson, Oluf Andersen, Ingvar Karlberg, Gunnela Nordén, M Nakazato, Philip N. Hawkins, Suzanne Richardson, Mark B. Pepys
Familial amyloidotic polyneuropathy (FAP) is an autosomal dominant inherited
disorder characterized by progressive peripheral and autonomic neuropathy,
associated with neural and systemic amyloid deposits. The amyloid fibrils
contain a variant transthyretin (TTR) molecule (TTR met30), over 90% of which is
produced in the liver. After liver transplantation in two patients with severe
symptomatic FA... hiện toàn bộ

Mitochondrial deafness Tập 71 Số 5 - Trang 379-391 - 2007
Haris Kokotas, MB Petersen, P J Willems
Non‐syndromic deafness can be caused by mutations in both nuclear and
mitochondrial genes. More than 50 nuclear genes have been shown to be involved
in non‐syndromic hearing loss, but mutations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) might
also cause hearing impairment. As mitochondria are responsible for oxidative
phosphorylation, the primary energy‐producing system in all eukaryotic cells,
mitochondrial dy... hiện toàn bộ
Genetic heterogeneity and clinical variability in the Sanfilippo syndrome (types A, B, and C) Tập 20 Số 2 - Trang 152-160 - 1981
J. J. P. van de Kamp, M. F. Niermeijer, Kurt Von Figura, M. A. H. Giesberts
A study of 73 patients with the Sanfilippo syndrome (36 patients with Sanfilippo
A disease, 23 with Sanfilippo B disease and 14 with Sanfilippo C disease)
revealed both intertype and intratype variability. The course of the disease was
relatively mild in Sanfilippo B disease and dementia was less severe. Type A
showed earlier onset with more severe clinical manifestations and an earlier age

The molecular genetics of Usher syndrome Tập 63 Số 6 - Trang 431-444 - 2003
ZM Ahmed, Sheikh Riazuddin, Sheikh Riazuddin, E.R. Wilcox
Association of sensorineural deafness and progressive retinitis pigmentosa with
and without a vestibular abnormality is the hallmark of Usher syndrome and
involves at least 12 loci among three different clinical subtypes. Genes
identified for the more commonly inherited loci are USH2A (encoding usherin),
MYO7A (encoding myosin VIIa), CDH23 (encoding cadherin 23), PCDH15 (encoding
protocadherin 15)... hiện toàn bộ
