متن کاملNovel and recurrent FERMT1 gene mutations in Kindler syndrome.
Kindler syndrome (OMIM 173650) is an autosomal recessive condition characterized by skin blistering, skin atrophy, photosensitivity, colonic inflammation and mucosal stenosis. Fewer than 100 cases have been described in the literature. First reported in 1954, the molecular basis of Kindler syndrome was elucidated in 2003 with the discovery of FERMT1 (KIND1) loss-of-function mutations in affecte...
متن کاملIdentification of a Novel CLCNKB Mutation in an Iranian Family with Bartter Syndrome Type 3.
Bartter syndrome (BS) is a group of uncommon genetic disorders of reabsorption of salt in the cortical thick ascending limb (TAL) of the Henle's loop, typically distinguished by metabolic alkalosis, salt loss, hypokalemia, hyperreninemic hyperaldosteronism and normal blood pressure. Bartter syndrome type 3, recognized as a classic BS (CBS), occurs because of mutations in CLCNKB gene. We enroll...

Background & Aims: Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is a common disorder with autosomal recessive inheritance pattern. The frequency of carriers of this disease is one in forty to one in sixty. SMA occurs in 98% of cases due to the homozygous deletion of SMN1 exons 7 and 8. The purpose of this study was to evaluating the deletion and point mutations of the SMN1 gene in patients with SMA in west Az...
