The copy number variation landscape of congenital anomalies of the kidney and urinary tract

Miguel Verbitsky, +94 more
- 01 Jan 2019 - 
TL;DR: Genome-wide analysis of copy number variants in 2,824 cases across the phenotypic spectrum of CAKUT sheds light on the genomic architecture of disease and identifies TBX6 as a driver forCAKUT subphenotypes in the 16p11.2 microdeletion syndrome.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Homozygous Mutation in ADAMTSL4 Causes Autosomal-Recessive Isolated Ectopia Lentis

TL;DR: It is concluded that mutations in ADAMTSL4 are responsible for autosomal-recessive simple ectopia lentis and that ADAMts-like4 plays a role in the development and/or integrity of the zonular fibers.
Journal ArticleDOI

The genetic mechanisms of primary angle closure glaucoma.

TL;DR: The current literature on PACG is reviewed, and genetic factors have been identified that modify PACG endophenotypes for example, axial length.
Journal ArticleDOI

Variants in Nebulin (NEB) Are Linked to the Development of Familial Primary Angle Closure Glaucoma in Basset Hounds.

TL;DR: A four-generation Basset Hound pedigree with characteristic autosomal recessive PACG that closely recapitulates PACG in humans is identified and the phenotypic similarities of disease presentation in dogs and humans may enable the translation of findings made in this study to patients with PACG.
