The genomic landscape of balanced cytogenetic abnormalities associated with human congenital anomalies

Claire Redin, +179 more
- 01 Jan 2017 - 
TL;DR: It is proposed that sequence-level resolution dramatically improves prediction of clinical outcomes for balanced rearrangements and provides insight into new pathogenic mechanisms, such as altered regulation due to changes in chromosome topology.
Journal ArticleDOI

SMCHD1 mutations associated with a rare muscular dystrophy can also cause isolated arhinia and Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome

Natalie D. Shaw, +88 more
- 01 Feb 2017 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that SMCHD1 mutations cause facioscapulohumeral muscular dystrophy type 2 (FSHD2) via a trans-acting loss-of-function epigenetic mechanism.

SMCHD1 mutations associated with a rare muscular dystrophy can also cause isolated arhinia and Bosma arhinia microphthalmia syndrome (vol 49, pg 238, 2017)

TL;DR: Mutations in SMCHD1 contribute to distinct phenotypic spectra, from craniofacial malformation and reproductive disorders to muscular dystrophy, which are speculated to be consistent with oligogenic mechanisms resulting in pleiotropic outcomes.
