Low prevalence of mutations in known loci for autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia in a multiethnic patient cohort.
UNLABELLED BACKGROUND- Autosomal dominant hypercholesterolemia (ADH), characterized by elevated plasma levels of low-density lipoprotein (LDL)-cholesterol, is caused by variants in at least 3 different genes: LDL receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B-100, and proprotein convertase subtilisin-like kexin type 9. There is paucity of data about the molecular basis of ADH among ethnic groups other than ...
متن کاملQuantifying Missing Heritability at Known GWAS Loci
Recent work has shown that much of the missing heritability of complex traits can be resolved by estimates of heritability explained by all genotyped SNPs. However, it is currently unknown how much heritability is missing due to poor tagging or additional causal variants at known GWAS loci. Here, we use variance components to quantify the heritability explained by all SNPs at known GWAS loci in...
متن کاملThree Novel Mutations in Iranian Patients with Tay-Sachs Disease
Background: Tay-Sachs disease (TSD), or GM2 gangliosidosis, is a lethal autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder, which is caused by a deficiency of beta-hexosaminidase A (HEXA), resulting in lysosomal accumulation of GM2 ganglioside. The aim of this study was to identify the TSD-causing mutations in an Iranian population. Methods: In this study, we examined 31 patients for TSD-causing m...
متن کاملSimultaneous genotyping for all three known structural mutations in the human mannose-binding lectin gene.
We describe a rapid and simple method for genotyping the three known structural mutations within exon 1 of the mannan-binding lectin (MBL) gene. A PCR-amplifiable synthetic DNA (Universal Heteroduplex Generator) was annealed to genomic PCR product from exon 1 to generate unique DNA heteroduplexes for each mutation. Heteroduplexes were then resolved by non-denaturing polyacrylamide gel electroph...
متن کاملMutations in three distinct loci cause resistance to peptide deformylase inhibitors in Bacillus subtilis.
Bacillus subtilis mutants with resistance against peptide deformylase inhibitors were isolated. All showed a bypass of the pathway through mutations in three genes required for formylation of Met-tRNA(fMet), fmt, folD, and glyA. glyA corresponds to a yet uncharacterized locus inducing resistance. The bypass of formylation caused robust fitness reduction but was not accompanied by alterations of...
