Investigating Seven Recently Identified Genes in 100 Iranian Families with Autosomal Recessive Non-syndromic Hearing Loss
Objectives: Hearing loss (HL) is the most common sensory disorder, and affects 1 in 1000 newborns. About 50% of HL is due to genetics and 70% of them are non-syndromic with a recessive pattern of inheritance. Up to now, more than 50 genes have been detected which are responsible for autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss, (ARNSHL). In Iran, HL is one of the most common disabilitie...
متن کاملA novel FBN1 heterozygous mutation identified in a Chinese family with autosomal dominant Marfan syndrome.
The purpose of this study was to identify the clinical features and mutations in the fibrillin-1 gene (FBN1) in a large Chinese family with autosomal dominant Marfan syndrome (MFS). Seventeen members from a Chinese family of 4 generations were included in the study. All members underwent complete ophthalmic examination. Molecular genetic analysis was performed on all subjects. All exons of FBN1...
متن کاملComparison of clinical presentations and outcomes between patients with TGFBR2 and FBN1 mutations in Marfan syndrome and related disorders.
BACKGROUND TGFBR2 mutations were recognized recently among patients with a Marfan-like phenotype. The associated clinical and prognostic spectra remain unclear. METHODS AND RESULTS Clinical features and outcomes of 71 patients with a TGFBR2 mutation (TGFBR2 group) were compared with 50 age- and sex-matched unaffected family members (control subjects) and 243 patients harboring FBN1 mutations ...
متن کاملA novel FBN1 mutation causes autosomal dominant Marfan syndrome
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an inherited and systemic disorder. It has been reported that mutations in the fibrillin‑1 gene (FBN1) account for ~90% of autosomal dominant cases of MFS. This study was conducted to screen mutations of FBN1 in a Chinese family with autosomal dominant MFS; four individuals including two patients with MFS were recruited. The family members underwent complete physical, c...
متن کاملNext-generation sequencing identifies novel mutations in the FBN1 gene for two Chinese families with Marfan syndrome
Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant heterogeneous disorder of connective tissue characterized by the early development of thoracic aneurysms/dissections, together with defects of the ocular and skeletal systems. Loss-of-function mutations in fibrillin-1 (FBN1) encoded by the gene, FBN1 (MFS‑1), and in the transforming growth factor β receptor 2 (TGFBR2) gene, TGFBR2 (MFS‑2), are majo...
