Exclusion of close linkage between the parathyroid hormone gene and a mutant gene locus causing idiopathic hypoparathyroidism.

چکیده
A family is presented in which the mother has transmitted primary hypoparathyroidism with early onset and serum PTH (44-68) and C terminal deficiency to her two sons. Restriction enzyme analysis of allelic variation at the PTH gene locus revealed that the disease and the PTH alleles segregate independently. It is therefore concluded that the primary molecular defect leading to this form of hypoparathyroidism is not located within the PTH gene itself.

Localisation of X linked recessive idiopathic hypoparathyroidism to a 1.5 Mb region on Xq26-q27.
X linked recessive idiopathic hypoparathyroidism (HPT) has been observed in two kindreds from Missouri, USA. Affected subjects, who are males, suffer from infantile onset of epilepsy and hypocalcaemia, which appears to be the result of an isolated congenital defect of parathyroid gland development; females are not affected and are normocalcaemic. The gene causing HPT has been previously mapped ...
متن کاملThe Study of SLC26A4 Gene Causing Autosomal Recessive Hearing Loss by Linkage Analysis in a Cohort of Iranian Populations
Sensorineural non-syndromic hearing loss is the most common disorder which affects 1 in 500 newborns. Hearing loss is an extremely heterogeneous defect with more than 100 loci identified to date. According to the studies, mutations in GJB2 are estimated to be involved in 50- 80% of autosomal recessive non-syndromic hearing loss cases, but contribution of other loci in this disorder is yet ambig...
متن کاملSurvey of FecXL Locus of BMP15 Gene and Growth Hormone (GH) Gene and Their Effects on Lambing Rate in Zel Sheep
The GH gene and BMP15 gene have been used as candidate genes for marker-assisted selection in different livestock species. Random blood samples were obtained from 180 Zel sheep breed to study genetic polymorphism of these genes. DNA was extracted from blood samples and a 365 bp fragment from the exon V of the ovine growth hormone gene and a 312 bp region from exon II of BMP15 gene were amplifi...
متن کاملIdentification of a novel mutation disrupting the DNA binding activity of GCM2 in autosomal recessive familial isolated hypoparathyroidism.
H ypoparathyroidism is a heterogeneous group of disorders with both acquired and inherited causes, each presenting clinically with hypocalcaemia. Familial cases of hypoparathyroidism may be due to an isolated defect of the parathyroid glands or be a component of a syndrome disorder, examples of which include DiGeorge, hypoparathyroidism-retardation-dysmorphism, and KennyCaffey syndrome. Familia...

In current research, the expression level of Dx2 and Dy12 genes on Glu-D1 locus that encoding the high-molecular-weight glutenin subunits (HMW-GSs), with negative impact on quality of bakery in genotype mutant bread wheat called RO-3 with high quality of bakery and its parent (Roshan) with low quality of bakery was investigated. For this purpose, sampling was performed grains at intervals of 5,...
