Open AccessA high-throughput real-time PCR tissue-of-origin test to distinguish blood from lymphoblastoid cell line DNA for (epi)genomic studies
Lymphoblastoid cell lines (LCLs) derive from blood infected in vitro by Epstein–Barr virus and were used in several genetic, transcriptomic and epigenomic studies. Although few changes were shown between LCL a...

Multiallelic rare variants support an oligogenic origin of sudden cardiac death in the young
Unexplained sudden death in the young is cardiovascular in most cases. Structural and conduction defects in cardiac-related genes can conspire to underlie sudden cardiac death. Here we report a clinical invest...

Open AccessImprovements and inter-laboratory implementation and optimization of blood-based single-locus age prediction models using DNA methylation of the ELOVL2 promoter
Several blood-based age prediction models have been developed using less than a dozen to more than a hundred DNA methylation biomarkers. Only one model (Z-P1) based on pyrosequencing has been developed using D...

Molecular and biochemical characterization of a novel intronic single point mutation in a Tunisian family with glycogen storage disease type III
Genetic deficiency of the glycogen debranching enzyme causes glycogen storage disease type III, an autosomal recessive inherited disorder. The gene encoding this enzyme is designated as AGL gene. The disease is c...

An autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets phenotype in a Tunisian family caused by a new FGF23 missense mutation
Autosomal dominant hypophosphatemic rickets (ADHR) is a rare disease, characterized by isolated renal phosphate wasting, hypophosphatemia, and inappropriately normal 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (calcitriol) levels. ...
