High resolution genome-wide copy number analysis, routinely used in clinical diagnosis for several years, retrieves new and extremely rare copy number variations (CNVs) that provide novel candidate genes contributing to disease etiology. The aim of this work was to identify novel genetic causes of neurodevelopmental disease, inferred from CNVs detected by array comparative hybridization (aCGH), in a cohort of 3...

Objectives: Alport’s syndrome (AS) is a hereditary nephritis associated with hematuria, progressive renal failure, high tone sensorineural deafness, and characteristic eye signs. This study analyzes the audiometric profile in male subjects with diagnosis of Alport Syndrome and correlates hearing loss to renal function.Study Design: Transversal retrospective studyMaterial and Methods: Analysis of clinical data o...
