TL;DR: This study, the largest published so far, has revealed additional mutations in 23 genes previously implicated in intellectual disability or related neurological disorders, as well as single, probably disease-causing variants in 50 novel candidate genes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Homozygosity mapping in consanguineous families reveals extreme heterogeneity of non-syndromic autosomal recessive mental retardation and identifies 8 novel gene loci.
Hossein Najmabadi,M. Mahdi Motazacker,Masoud Garshasbi,Kimia Kahrizi,Andreas Tzschach,Wei Chen,Farkhondeh Behjati,Valeh Hadavi,Sahar Esmaeeli Nieh,Seyedeh Sedigheh Abedini,Reza Vazifehmand,Saghar Ghasemi Firouzabadi,Payman Jamali,Masoumeh Falah,Seyed Morteza Seifati,Annette Grüters,Steffen Lenzner,Lars Riff Jensen,Franz Rüschendorf,Andreas W. Kuss,Hans-Hilger Ropers +20 more
TL;DR: Homozygosity mapping in 78 consanguineous Iranian families with nonsyndromic autosomal recessive mental retardation has enabled us to determine the chromosomal localization of at least 8 novel gene loci for this condition.
Journal ArticleDOI
A clinical and molecular genetic study of 112 Iranian families with primary microcephaly
Hossein Darvish,Sahar Esmaeeli Nieh,Gholamreza Bahrami Monajemi,Marzieh Mohseni,S. Ghasemi-Firouzabadi,Seyedeh Sedigheh Abedini,Ideh Bahman,Peyman Jamali,Somayeh Azimi,Faezeh Mojahedi,Atefeh Dehghan,Yousef Shafeghati,A. Jankhah,Masoumeh Falah,M J Soltani Banavandi,M.

TL;DR: The results show that the molecular basis of microcephaly is heterogeneous; thus, the Iranian population may provide a unique source for the identification of further genes underlying this disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI
Alginate/chitosan hydrogel containing olfactory ectomesenchymal stem cells for sciatic nerve tissue engineering.
Majid Salehi,Zohreh Bagher,Seyed Kamran Kamrava,Arian Ehterami,Rafieh Alizadeh,Mohammad Farhadi,Masoumeh Falah,Ali Komeili +7 more
TL;DR: Results showed that utilizing alg/chit hydrogel with OE‐MSCs to the sciatic nerve defect enhance regeneration compared to the control group and hydrogels without cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Differentiation of neural crest stem cells from nasal mucosa into motor neuron-like cells
Zohreh Bagher,Seyed Kamran Kamrava,Rafieh Alizadeh,Mohammad Farhadi,Moloud Absalan,Masoumeh Falah,Faezeh Faghihi,Arash Zare-Sadeghi,Ali Komeili +8 more
TL;DR: It is believed that the olfactory ectomesenchymal stem cells have great potential to differentiate into motor neuron-like cells and can be an ideal stem cell source for the treatment of motor neurons-related disorders of central nervous system.
