Genomic imbalances defining novel intellectual disability associated loci
Lopes, F; Torres, F; Soares, G; Barbosa, M; Silva, J; Duque, F; Rocha, M; Sá, J; Oliveira, G; Sá, MJ; Temudo, T; Sousa, S; Marques, C; Lopes, SBackground: 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...
Clinical and Molecular Characterization of Diastrophic Dysplasia in the Portugu...
Barbosa, M; Sousa, AB; Medeira, A; Lourenço, T; Saraiva, J; Pinto-Basto, J; Soares, G; Fortuna, AM; Superti-Furga, A; Mittaz, L; Reis-Lima, M; Bonafé, LSLC26A2-related dysplasias encompass a spectrum of diseases: from lethal achondrogenesis type 1B (ACG1B; MIM #600972) and atelosteogenesis type 2 (AO2; MIM #256050) to classical diastrophic dysplasia (cDTD; MIM #222600) and recessive multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (rMED; MIM #226900). This study aimed at characterizing clinically, radiologically and molecularly 14 patients affected by non-lethal SLC26A2-related ...
