A Novel Missense Mutation in USP26 Gene Is Associated With Nonobstructive Azoospermia

A Novel Missense Mutation in CLCN1 Gene in a Family with Autosomal Recessive Congenital Myotonia

Congenital recessive myotonia is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in CLCN1, which codes for the main skeletal muscle chloride channel ClC-1. More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here, we report a 59-year male patient suffering from congenital myotonia. He had transient generalized myotonia, which...

a novel missense mutation, e1623g, in the human factor viii gene associated with moderate haemophilia a

introduction: haemophilia a is the most common inherited x-linked recessive bleeding disorder. the severity of the resultant bleeding diathesis depends on the fviii levels associated with the mutation. analysis of carrier state can be made indirectly by dna linkage analysis or directly by identifying the mutation that leads to the disease. the aim of this study was to identification of the caus...

A Novel Splice Site Mutation in HPS1 Gene is Associated with Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome-1 (HPS1) in an Iranian Family

A Novel Missense Mutation in the ALDH13 Gene Causes Anophthalmia in Two Unrelated Iranian Consanguineous Families

Anophthalmia or microphthalmia (A/M) is a rare group of congenital/developmental ocular malformations, characterized by absent or small eye within the orbit affecting one or both eyes. It  has complex etiology with chromosomal, monogenic with high heterogeneity, and environmental causes. We performed genome SNP-array analysis followed by autozygosity mapping and sequencing in the members o...

A Novel Nonsense mutation in PANK2 Gene in Two Patients with Pantothenate Kinase-Associated Neurodegeneration

Pantothenate kinase- associated neurodegeneration (PKAN) syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by progressive extrapyramidal dysfunction and iron accumulation in the brain and axonal spheroids in the central nervous system. It has been shown that the disorder is caused by mutations in PANK2 gene which codes for a mitochondrial enzyme participating in coenzyme A biosynthe...
