Mutation analysis of retinoblastoma is considered important for genetic counseling purposes, as well as for understanding the molecular mechanisms leading to tumors with different degrees of penetrance or expressivity. In the course of an analysis of 43 hereditary retinoblastoma Spanish patients and
This report describes molecular analysis of the MECP2 gene in 37 Israeli patients suspected of having Rett syndrome (RTT). The patients were from various Jewish ethnic groups and from Arabic origin. Of the 17 patients with classical RTT, bi-directional sequencing of the coding exons revealed MECP2 m
Catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (CPVT) is a rare and severe arrhythmogenic disorder. Although usually transmitted in a recessive form, few cases of dominant mutations have been reported. Thirteen mutations in the CASQ2 gene have been reported so far in association with CPVT. We
