Recurrent Rearrangements of Chromosome 1q21.1 and Variable Pediatric Phenotypes

Heather C Mefford, +85 more
TL;DR: Recurrent molecular lesions that elude syndromic classification and whose disease manifestations must be considered in a broader context of development as opposed to being assigned to a specific disease are identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in genes encoding ribonuclease H2 subunits cause Aicardi-Goutières syndrome and mimic congenital viral brain infection.

TL;DR: It is shown that AGS can result from mutations in the genes encoding any one of its three subunits, demonstrating a role for ribonuclease H in human neurological disease and suggesting an unanticipated relationship between ribonUClease H2 and the antiviral immune response that warrants further investigation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Constitutional aneuploidy and cancer predisposition caused by biallelic mutations in BUB1B

TL;DR: In five families with mosaic variegated aneuploidy, including two with embryonal rhabdomyosarcoma, truncating and missense mutations of BUB1B are identified, which encodes BUBR1, a key protein in the mitotic spindle checkpoint.
Journal ArticleDOI

A systematic, large-scale resequencing screen of X-chromosome coding exons in mental retardation.

Patrick S. Tarpey, +79 more
- 01 May 2009 - 
TL;DR: The coding exons of the X chromosome in 208 families with X-linked mental retardation (XLMR) are sequenced, the largest direct screen for constitutional disease-causing mutations thus far reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

PTEN Mutation Spectrum and Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in Bannayan-Riley-Ruvalcaba Syndrome Suggest a Single Entity With Cowden Syndrome

TL;DR: Constutive DNA samples from 43 BRR individuals comprising 16 sporadic and 27 familial cases, 11 of which were families with both CS and BRR, were screened for PTEN mutations, finding no significant difference in mutation status was found.
