Characterization of the 3'UTR of the BTD gene and identification of regulatory ...
Silva,Gerda Cristal Villalba; Borsatto,Taciane; Schwartz,Ida Vanessa Doederlein; Sperb-Ludwig,FernandaAbstract Reduced biotinidase activity is associated with a spectrum of deficiency ranging from total deficiency to heterozygous levels, a finding that is not always explained by the pathogenic variants observed in the BTD gene. The investigation of miRNAs, regulatory elements and variants in the 3’UTR region may present relevance in understanding the genotype-phenotype association. The aims of the study were to...
Diagnosis and Management of Classica Homocystinuria in Brazil: A Summary of 72 ...
Poloni,Soraia; Hoss,Giovana W.; Sperb-Ludwig,Fernanda; Borsatto,Taciane; Doriqui,Maria Juliana R.; Leão,Emília K.E.A; Boa-Sorte,Ney; Lourenço,Charles M.Abstract This study described a broad clinical characterization of classical homocystinuria (HCU) in Brazil. This was a cross-sectional, observational study including clinical and biochemical data from 72 patients (60 families) from Brazil (South, n = 13; Southeast, n = 37; Northeast, n = 8; North, n = 1; and Midwest, n = 1). Parental consanguinity was reported in 42% of families. Ocular manifestations were the...
