Chromothripsis is an extreme form of complex chromosomal rearrangement (CCR), characterized by a localized shattering and random reassembly of genomic fragments. The aim of this study is the characterization at sequence-level resolution of a cytogenetically identified CCR 46,XY,t(7;14)(q21.13;q31),inv(15)(q21.2q26.1) associated with cognitive disabilities, and intrafamilial phenotype-genotype correlation analys...
Cystinuria is a rare autosomal inherited disorder characterized by impaired transport of cystine and dibasic aminoacids in the proximal renal tubule. Classically, Cystinuria is classified as type I (silent heterozygotes) and non-type I (heterozygotes with urinary hyperexcretion of cystine). Molecularly, Cystinuria is classified as type A (mutations on SLC3A1 gene) and type B (mutations on SLC7A9 gene). The goal...
