To report a phenotypic variant pedigree of lattice corneal dystrophy (LCD) associated with two mutations, R124C and A546D, in the transforming growth factor beta-induced gene (TGFBI).
The heterozygous Arg124Cys mutation reported in Caucasian lattice corneal dystrophy caused severe lattice corneal dystrophy consisting of short and thin amyloid fibers in a Japanese family.
CYP2D6 (C2850T, G1846A, C100T) polymorphisms, haplotypes and MDR analysis in predicting coronary artery disease risk in north-west Indian population: A case-control study.
CYP2D6 (C2850T, G1846A, C100T) polymorphisms, haplotypes and MDR analysis in predicting coronary artery disease risk in north-west Indian population: A case-control study.
Our results indicate significant association of C2850T, G1846A and C100T polymorphisms of CYP2D6 with CAD especially in females of North-West Indian population.

We have previously described a TGM2 heterozygous missense mutation ((c.998A>G, p.N333S) in a 14 year-old patient with insulin-treated diabetes and in his diabetic father.

Short stature and decreased insulin-like growth factor I (IGF-I)/growth hormone (GH)-ratio in an adult GH-deficient patient pointing to additional partial GH insensitivity due to a R179C mutation of the growth hormone receptor.
The formerly in patients with Laron syndrome and idiopathic short stature reported mutation R179C leads to an amino acid change from an arginine residue (codon CGC) to a cysteine residue (codon TGC) in position 179 of the extracellular domain of the GHR.
After detection of a heterozygous, non-synonymous mutation R179C in exon 6 in one single patient with acquired GH-deficiency (GHD) in late adulthood, analysis of her clinical data followed, leading to the diagnosis of mild short stature (-1.5SD).

Our results emphasize the need to include the SGCA gene R77C mutation test in routine DNA analyses of severe dystrophinopathy-like muscular dystrophies in Finland, and suggest that the applicability of this test in other populations should be studied as well.
We propose that the augmented E1 activity is responsible for robust thiamin responsiveness in homozygous patients carrying the H391R E2 mutation and that the presence of a full-length mutant E2 is diagnostic of this MSUD phenotype.
Two types of missense mutations were detected in the FGFR2 gene, Cys342Trp (1205, TGC --> TGG) in a patient with sporadic Crouzon syndrome and Tyr281Cys (1021, TAC --> TGC) in two siblings (brother and sister) with familial Crouzon syndrome, respectively.

The first is a nonstop mutation in the normal stop codon 373 of the gene in exon IV [TGA (Stop) --> TGC (Cys) = Stop373C) identified from one allele of a female child with premature pubarche whose second allele had an E142K mutation.
