Somatic and gonadal mosaicism of the Huntington disease gene CAG repeat in brain and sperm.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors analysed the CAG expansion in different tissues from 12 affected individuals and found that all tissues examined were found to display some repeat mosaicism, with the greatest levels detected in brain and sperm.
Journal ArticleDOI

Discordant KCNQ1OT1 imprinting in sets of monozygotic twins discordant for Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome

TL;DR: It is shown here that the incidence of female monozygotic twins among patients with BWS is dramatically increased over that of the general population, and that KCNQ1OT1 is especially vulnerable to a loss of imprinting event at a critical stage of preimplantation development.
Journal ArticleDOI

Risk modifiers in carriers of brca1 mutations

TL;DR: The reproductive histories of 333 North American women found by haplotype analysis to carry BRCAI mutations were studied and it was found that an increased risk for breast cancer was associated with low parity and with recent birth cohort.
Journal ArticleDOI

Non-syndromic progressive hearing loss DFNA38 is caused by heterozygous missense mutation in the Wolfram syndrome gene WFS1

TL;DR: In a six-generation kindred from Newfoundland, Canada, WFS1 Ala716Thr (2146 G-->A) was shared by all deaf members of the family and was specific to deaf individuals, supporting the causal relationship between this missense mutation and deafness.
