Acrodermatitis enteropathica (AE) is a very rare inherited recessive disease caused by severe zinc deficiency. It typically occurs in early infancy and is characterized by periorificial and acral dermatitis, alopecia, and diarrhea. In 2002, both we and others identified the AE SLC39A4 gene located a

Alport syndrome (AS) is a hereditary kidney disorder, mainly caused by mutations in the Xchromosomal gene (COL4A5) encoding the type IV collagen α α5 chain. In this study, detection of COL4A5 mutations was performed in 17 Finnish Alport syndrome families. Regions around the 51 previously known exons
Hemophilia A is the most frequently occurring X-linked bleeding disorder, affecting one to two out of 10,000 males worldwide. Various types of mutations in the F8 gene are causative for this condition. It is well known that the most common mutation in severely affected patients is the intron 22 inve

Pendred syndrome is an autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by congenital sensorineural hearing loss combined with goiter. This disorder may account for up to 10% of cases of hereditary deafness. The disease gene ( PDS/SLC26A4) has been mapped to chromosome 7q22-q31 and encodes a chloride-iodi
## Abstract Somatic __APC__ mutations in colorectal tumors with an RER phenotype reflect excessive frameshift mutations, especially in simple repetition tracts within the coding sequence. Because this type of mutation is characteristic of cells with a deficient DNA MMR system, the __APC__ mutation
