Patients with multiple CALMs w/wo skinfold freckling and no other typical NF1 associated features (Lisch nodules, bone abnormalities, neurofibromas, optic pathway gliomas). The DNA-based ...

Ideograms and partial karyotypes are shown. For the deletions, the arrows indicate a) the deletion of chromosome 15q11-13 associated with Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes, and b) the deletion of ...

In a recent study published in the Genes journal, researchers assessed the impact of PARK2 duplication or microdeletion on neurological diseases such as Parkinson's. The Parkinson's disease 2 (PARK2) ...

Large and rare duplications and deletions in a chromosome region known as 22q11.2 , which involves genes that regulate cardiac development, are linked to nonsyndromic bicuspid aortic valve disease.

Examination of the carrier state was performed in 744 unrelated mothers of the Duchenne muscular dystrophy/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) probands with identified mutations in the dystrophin gene ...

Ectopic recombination between repeated but nonallelic DNA sequences plays a major role in genome evolution, creating gene families and generating copy number variation and pathological rearrangements ...

Patients with classic NF1 including the presence of cutaneous neurofibromas or Lisch nodules, as no genetic heterogeneity demonstrated so far associated with this phenotype. The NF1-only by NGS ...
