.... Mutations of the TBX5 gene, most of which are found within the T-box domain, are one cause of the disease. We aimed to find the cause of the disease in a family with two children exhibiting symptoms of Holt-Oram syndrome while the parents tend to be normal. Methods: Chromosomal microarray analysis and exome...

... exert a role in pH homeostasis and regulation of blood pressure. Mutations of the pendrin gene can lead to syndromic and non-syndromic hearing loss with EVA (enlarged vestibular aqueduct). Functional tests of mutated pendrin allelic variants found in patients with Pendred syndrome or non-syndromic EVA...

..., a mutation associated with mild disease, induces cAMP-regulated Cl – currents. The magnitudes of the currents induced by R117H were consistently lower than those induced by expression of wild-type CFTR. Western blotting with anti-CFTR antibody confirms that protein was expressed in oocytes injected...
