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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human TUBB3 mutations perturb microtubule dynamics, kinesin interactions, and axon guidance

Max A. Tischfield, +51 more
- 08 Jan 2010 - 
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that normal TUBB3 is required for axon guidance and maintenance in mammals and it is shown that the disease-associated mutations can impair tubulin heterodimer formation in vitro, although folded mutant heterodimers can still polymerize into microtubules.
Journal ArticleDOI

Utility of whole-exome sequencing for those near the end of the diagnostic odyssey: time to address gaps in care.

TL;DR: The analysis of this dataset showed that these known disease genes were not identified prior to WES enrollment for two key reasons: genetic heterogeneity associated with a clinical diagnosis and atypical presentation of known, clinically recognized diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Orthostatic intolerance and chronic fatigue syndrome associated with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the occurrence of these syndromes together can be attributed to the abnormal connective tissue in dependent blood vessels of those with EDS, which permits veins to distend excessively in response to ordinary hydrostatic pressures, which leads to increased venous pooling and its hemodynamic and symptomatic consequences.
