Recent genomic advances in schizophrenia.

Clinical genetics

Doherty JL, O'Donovan MC, Owen MJ.
PMID: 21895634
Clin Genet. 2012 Feb;81(2):103-9. doi: 10.1111/j.1399-0004.2011.01773.x. Epub 2011 Oct 05.

Recent studies have supported the hypothesis based upon expectations from population genetics that the high heritability of schizophrenia reflects a combination of relatively common alleles of small effect and rare alleles some with relatively large effects. Genome-wide association studies...

Association of PPARγ2 gene variant Pro12Ala polymorphism with hypertension and obesity in the aboriginal Qatari population known for being consanguineous.

AIM: The aim of this study was to investigate the association of the Pro12Ala polymorphism of the human peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma 2 (PPARγ2) gene with hypertension and obesity in a highly consanguineous aboriginal Qatari population.DESIGN: A cross-sectional survey...

The association between vitamin D receptor gene polymorphisms (TaqI and FokI), Type 2 diabetes, and micro-/macrovascular complications in postmenopausal women.

The application of clinical genetics

PMID: 27536155
Appl Clin Genet. 2016 Aug 01;9:131-6. doi: 10.2147/TACG.S101410. eCollection 2016.

INTRODUCTION: Since there is evidence of the action of vitamin D as a modulator of insulin release and atherosclerosis, it may well be that the vitamin D receptor polymorphisms are associated with diabetes and its chronic complications.AIMS: To examine...

An update of clinical management of acute intermittent porphyria.

The application of clinical genetics

Pischik E, Kauppinen R.
PMID: 26366103
Appl Clin Genet. 2015 Sep 01;8:201-14. doi: 10.2147/TACG.S48605. eCollection 2015.

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is due to a deficiency of the third enzyme, the hydroxymethylbilane synthase, in heme biosynthesis. It manifests with occasional neuropsychiatric crises associated with overproduction of porphyrin precursors, aminolevulinic acid and porphobilinogen. The clinical criteria of...

Genomic-based tools for the risk assessment, management, and prevention of type 2 diabetes.

The application of clinical genetics

Johansen Taber KA, Dickinson BD.
PMID: 25609992
Appl Clin Genet. 2015 Jan 07;8:1-8. doi: 10.2147/TACG.S75583. eCollection 2015.

Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a common and serious disorder and is a significant risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease, neuropathy, nephropathy, retinopathy, periodontal disease, and foot ulcers and amputations. The burden of disease associated with T2D...

Genetics of Lafora progressive myoclonic epilepsy: current perspectives.

The application of clinical genetics

Kecmanović M, Keckarević-Marković M, Keckarević D, Stevanović G, Jović N, Romac S.
PMID: 27194917
Appl Clin Genet. 2016 May 02;9:49-53. doi: 10.2147/TACG.S57890. eCollection 2016.

Lafora disease (LD) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in either laforin glycogen phosphatase gene (EPM2A) or malin E3 ubiquitin ligase gene (NHLRC1). LD is associated with gradual accumulation of Lafora bodies (LBs). LBs are aggregates...

ALMS1 null mutations: a common cause of Leber congenital amaurosis and early-onset severe cone-rod dystrophy.

Clinical genetics

Xu Y, Guan L, Xiao X, Zhang J, Li S, Jiang H, Jia X, Yin Y, Guo X, Wang J, Zhang Q.
PMID: 26010121
Clin Genet. 2016 Apr;89(4):442-447. doi: 10.1111/cge.12617. Epub 2015 Jun 22.

In our previous studies, mutations in known candidate genes were detected in approximately 50% of Chinese patients with various forms of retinal degeneration. The next stage, identifying additional causative mutations in patients with various forms of genetic eye diseases...

New insights into the genetic basis of infertility.

The application of clinical genetics

Appl Clin Genet. 2014 Dec 01;7:235-43. doi: 10.2147/TACG.S40809. eCollection 2014.

Infertility is a disease of the reproductive system characterized by inability to achieve pregnancy after 12 or more months of regular unprotected sexual intercourse. A variety of factors, including ovulation defects, spermatogenic failure, parental age, obesity, and infections have...

Angelman syndrome: review of clinical and molecular aspects.

The application of clinical genetics

Bird LM.
PMID: 24876791

"Angelman syndrome" (AS) is a neurodevelopmental disorder whose main features are intellectual disability, lack of speech, seizures, and a characteristic behavioral profile. The behavioral features of AS include a happy demeanor, easily provoked laughter, short attention span, hypermotoric behavior,...

Overview of the genetic determinants of primary aldosteronism.

The application of clinical genetics
