Journal ArticleDOI

GJB2 mutations and degree of hearing loss: a multicenter study.

Rikkert L. Snoeckx, +63 more
TL;DR: The association between genotype and degree of hearing loss in persons with HI and biallelic GJB2 mutations was assessed and two genotypes had significantly more-severe HI than that of 35delG homozygotes.
Journal ArticleDOI

Application of a 5-tiered scheme for standardized classification of 2,360 unique mismatch repair gene variants in the InSiGHT locus-specific database

Bryony A. Thompson, +46 more
- 01 Feb 2014 - 
TL;DR: This large-scale endeavor will facilitate the consistent management of families suspected to have Lynch syndrome and demonstrates the value of multidisciplinary collaboration in the curation and classification of variants in public locus-specific databases.
Journal ArticleDOI

A functional neo-centromere formed through activation of a latent human centromere and consisting of non-alpha-satellite DNA

TL;DR: Chromosome walking using cloned single-copy DNA from this region enabled us to identify the antibody-binding domain of this centromere, and extensive restriction mapping indicates that this domain has an identical genomic organization to the corresponding normal chromosomal region.
Journal ArticleDOI

A population-based study of the biochemical and clinical expression of the H63D hemochromatosis mutation

TL;DR: The presence of the H63D mutation results in a significant increase in serum transferrin saturation but does not result in significant iron overload, and in the absence of the C282Y mutation, the H 63D mutation is not clinically significant.
