Evidence for Inflammation in Fabry’s Disease? Headache and Muscle Involvement Responding to Corticosteroid and Methotrexate Treatment
We report the case of a 38-year-old female patient who had been diagnosed as lupus erythematosus because of generalized muscle and burning pain combined with slightly elevated C-reactive protein […]
Posterior versus Anterior Circulation Stroke in Young Adults: A Comparative Study of Stroke Aetiologies and Risk Factors in Stroke among Young Fabry Patients
Although 20–30% of all strokes occur in the posterior circulation, few studies have explored the characteristics of patients with strokes in the posterior compared to the anterior circulation so far. […]
Novel GNB1 Mutations Disrupt Assembly and Function of G Protein Heterotrimers and Cause Global Developmental Delay in Humans
Global developmental delay (GDD), often accompanied by intellectual disability, seizures and other features is a severe, clinically and genetically highly heterogeneous childhood-onset disorder. In […]
Clinical Exome Sequencing – Results from 2819 Samples Reflecting 1000 Families
A study was conducted using whole exome sequencing (WES) to identify underlying pathogenic variants, or likely pathogenic variants, in 1,000 diagnostic cases from 54 different countries. Patients […]
Global Genotype–Phenotype Database for Rare Diseases
"The ability to discover genetic variants in a patient runs far ahead of the ability to interpret them. Databases with accurate descriptions of the causal relationship between the variants and the […]
Guidelines for Diagnostic Next-Generation Sequencing
The work was performed by a group of laboratory geneticists and bioinformaticians, and discussed with clinical geneticists, industry and patients’ representatives, and other stakeholders in the field […]
Novel GNB1 Missense Mutation in a Patient with Generalized Dystonia, Hypotonia, and Intellectual Disability
Recently, exome sequencing has extended our knowledge of genetic causes of developmental delay through identification of de novo, germline mutations in the guanine nucleotide-binding protein, beta 1 […]
Identification of a Novel Deletion in the MMAA Gene in Two Iranian Siblings with Vitamin B12-Responsive Methylmalonic Acidemia
Adenosylcobalamin (vitamin B12) is a coenzyme required for the activity of methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. Defects in this enzyme are a cause of methylmalonic acidemia (MMA). Methylmalonic acidemia, cblA […]
Robustness of Comprehensive DNA- and RNA-Based Assays at Diagnosis of Acute Myeloid Leukemia Using Blood and Bone Marrow Stored on Filter Cards
"Molecular analyses in hematologic malignancies gained considerable importance in the last decade at diagnosis and for minimal residual disease (MRD). In our study, we performed a comparison of […]
