Abnormal retinal development associated with FRMD7 mutations
Idiopathic infantile nystagmus (IIN) is a genetically heterogeneous disorder, often associated with FRMD7 mutations. As the appearance of the retina is reported to be normal based on conventional fundus photography, IIN is postulated to arise from abnormal cortical development. To determine whether the afferent visual system is involved in FRMD7 mutations, we performed in situ hybridization stu...
متن کاملThe nystagmus-associated FRMD7 gene regulates neuronal outgrowth and development.
Mutations in the gene encoding FERM domain-containing 7 protein (FRMD7) are recognized as an important cause of X-linked idiopathic infantile nystagmus (IIN). However, the precise role of FRMD7 and its involvement in the pathogenesis of IIN are not understood. In the present study, we have explored the role of FRMD7 in neuronal development. Using in situ hybridization and immunohistochemistry, ...
متن کاملA Case of Atypical Coloboma Associated with Abnormal Retinal Vessels.
IN a paper on" Certain abnormal conditions of the macular region usually classed as colobomata," which appeared in this journal in *March, 1927, an attempt was made to classify congenital defects in the neighbourhood of the posterior pole and to provide some diagnostic points by means of which a rough idea of the time of origin and the mechanism of production of the abnormality might be gained....
متن کاملInsufficient maintenance DNA methylation is associated with abnormal embryonic development
BACKGROUND Early pregnancy loss (EPL) is a frustrating clinical problem, whose mechanisms are not completely understood. DNA methylation, which includes maintenance methylation and de novo methylation directed by DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), is important for embryo development. Abnormal function of these DNMTs may have serious consequences for embryonic development. METHODS To evaluate the...
متن کاملDLX4 is associated with orofacial clefting and abnormal jaw development.
Cleft lip and/or palate (CL/P) are common structural birth defects in humans. We used exome sequencing to study a patient with bilateral CL/P and identified a single nucleotide deletion in the patient and her similarly affected son—c.546_546delG, predicting p.Gln183Argfs*57 in the Distal-less 4 (DLX4) gene. The sequence variant was absent from databases, predicted to be deleterious and was veri...
