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

Refining analyses of copy number variation identifies specific genes associated with developmental delay

TL;DR: An expanded CNV morbidity map was created from 29,085 children with developmental delay in comparison to 19,584 healthy controls, identifying 70 significant CNVs and an integrated analysis of CNV and single-nucleotide variant (SNV) data pinpointed 10 genes enriched for putative loss of function.
Journal ArticleDOI

X-linked protocadherin 19 mutations cause female-limited epilepsy and cognitive impairment.

TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic resequencing of 737 X chromosome genes was carried out to identify different protocadherin 19 (PCDH19) gene mutations in seven families with EFMR.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in CUL4B, Which Encodes a Ubiquitin E3 Ligase Subunit, Cause an X-linked Mental Retardation Syndrome Associated with Aggressive Outbursts, Seizures, Relative Macrocephaly, Central Obesity, Hypogonadism, Pes Cavus, and Tremor

TL;DR: The relatively high frequency of CUL4B mutations in this series indicates that it is one of the most commonly mutated genes underlying XLMR and suggests that its introduction into clinical diagnostics should be a high priority.
Journal ArticleDOI

Epilepsy and mental retardation limited to females: an under-recognized disorder.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used a validated seizure questionnaire, neurological examination and review of EEG and imaging studies to determine if there was a distinctive phenotype that would enhance recognition of epilepsy and mental retardation limited to females.
