Homozygosity mapping of a Desbuquois dysplasia locus to chromosome 17q25.3.
Desbuquois dysplasia is a rare autosomal recessive chondrodysplasia characterised by short stature, joint laxity, facial dysmorphism, a "Swedish key" appearance of the proximal femur, advanced carpal and tarsal bone age, and hand anomalies consisting of phalangeal dislocations and an extra ossification centre distal to the second metacarpal. However, the latter changes are not consistently obse...
متن کاملGenetic mapping of a third Li-Fraumeni syndrome predisposition locus to human chromosome 1q23.
Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous inherited cancer syndrome. Most cases ( approximately 70%) identified and characterized to date are associated with dominantly inherited germ line mutations in the tumor suppressor gene TP53 (p53) in chromosome 17p13.1. In a subset of non-p53 patients with LFS, CHEK2 in chromosome 22q11 has been identified as another predi...
متن کاملIdentification of a chromosome 11q23.2-q24 locus for familial aortic aneurysm disease, a genetically heterogeneous disorder.
BACKGROUND Aortic aneurysms cause significant mortality, and >20% relate to hereditary disorders. Familial aortic aneurysm (FAA) has been described in such conditions as the Marfan and Ehlers-Danlos type IV syndromes, due to defects in the fibrillin-1 and type III procollagen genes, respectively. Other gene defects that cause isolated aneurysms, however, have not thus far been described. METH...
متن کاملMapping a cardiomyopathy locus to chromosome 3p22-p25.
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a common disorder characterized by cardiac dilation and reduced systolic function. To identify a cardiomyopathy gene, we studied a family with DCM associated with sinus node dysfunction, supraventricular tachyarrhythmias, conduction delay, and stroke. A general linkage approach was used to localize the disease gene in this family. Linkage to D3S2303 was identifie...
متن کاملIdentification of a locus for type I punctate palmoplantar keratoderma on chromosome 15q22-q24.
BACKGROUND The identification of the molecular basis of disorders of keratinisation has significantly advanced our understanding of skin biology, revealing new information on key structures in the skin, such as the intermediate filaments, desmosomes, and gap junctions. Among these disorders, there is an extraordinarily heterogeneous group known as palmoplantar keratodermas (PPK), for which only...
