    Formation of upd(7)mat by trisomic rescue: SNP array ty** provides new insights in chromosomal nondisjunction

    Maternal uniparental disomy (UPD) of chromosome 7 (upd(7)mat) accounts for approximately 10% of patients with Silver-Russell syndrome (SRS). For upd(7)mat and trisomy 7, a significant number of mechanisms have...

    Phenotype and genotype in patients with Larsen syndrome: clinical homogeneity and allelic heterogeneity in seven patients

    Larsen syndrome is an autosomal dominant skeletal dysplasia characterized by large joint dislocations and craniofacial dysmorphism. It is caused by missense or small in-frame deletions in the FLNB gene. To furthe...

    Transcriptional regulator PRDM12 is essential for human pain perception

    Geoffrey Woods, Jan Senderek and colleagues show that biallelic mutations in PRDM12 cause congenital insensitivity to pain. They further show that PRDM12 is expressed in nociceptors and their progenitors and part...
