## Abstract Mutations in the __FGD1__ gene have been shown to cause Aarskog–Scott syndrome (AAS), or facio‐digito‐genital dysplasia (OMIM#305400), an X‐linked disorder characterized by distinctive genital and skeletal developmental abnormalities with a broad spectrum of clinical phenotypes. To date
X-linked myotubular myopathy (XLMTM) is a congenital muscular disease characterized by severe hypotonia and generalized muscle weakness, leading in most cases to early postnatal death. The gene responsible for the disease, MTM1, encodes a dual specificity phosphatase, named myotubularin, which is hi
The XLRS1 gene (HUGO-approved symbol, RS1) has been found to cause X-linked recessive retinoschisis (RS) which is characterized by splitting of the superficial layer of the retina. Recent mutation analysis of this gene revealed 82 different mutations in 214 patients with RS. We have now identified 1
## Communicated by Jiirgen Horst Mutations in the emerin gene, also referred to as the STA-or EMD-gene, have been found to be the cause of X-linked Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EMD). For the present study an optimized set of primers was designed to amplify and sequence each of the six emerin
## Mutations in the Bruton's tyrosine kinase (BTK ) gene are responsible for X-linked Agammaglobulinemia (XLA), an immunodeficiency caused by a block in B cell differentiation. Non Isotopic RNAse Cleavage Assay (NIRCA), followed by sequencing was used to screen for BTK mutations in 11 Italian XLA p
