Association analyses identify six new psoriasis susceptibility loci in the Chinese population

Liangdan Sun, +108 more
- 01 Nov 2010 - 
TL;DR: Six new susceptibility loci associated with psoriasis in the Chinese study containing the candidate genes ERAP1, PTTG1, CSMD1, GJB2, SERPINB8 and ZNF816A are identified and the heterogeneity of disease susceptibility between the Chinese and European populations is highlighted.
Journal ArticleDOI

TGM6 identified as a novel causative gene of spinocerebellar ataxias using exome sequencing

TL;DR: The finding of TGM6 as a novel causative gene of spinocerebellar ataxia illustrates whole-exome sequencing of affected individuals from one family as an effective and cost efficient method for mapping genes of rare Mendelian disorders and the use of linkage analysis and exome sequencing for further improving efficiency.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of PRRT2 as the causative gene of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesias.

TL;DR: Proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 (PRRT2) is identified as the first causative gene of paroxysmal kinesigenic dyskinesias by using a combination of exome sequencing and linkage analysis, warranting further investigations to understand the pathogenesis of this disorder.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exome sequencing released a case of X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy mimicking recessive hereditary spastic paraplegia.

TL;DR: Exome sequencing can be used not only to find a novel causative gene, but also to quickly identify mutations of known genes when the clinical elements are etiologically misleading, this study suggests.
