    摘要: Methods are described for screening a subject for risk of Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 2A or for diagnosing Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease or a predisposition for developing Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease in a subject, by detecting the presence or absence of a mutation in the mitofusin gene in a biological sample collected from the subject. Methods are also described for detecting the presence of a genetic polymorphism associated with Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 2A in a sample of patient nucleic acid, by amplifying a mitofusin gene sequence in the patient nucleic acid to produce an amplification product; and identifying the presence of a Charcot-Marie-Tooth Disease Type 2A associated polymorphism in the amplification product.

    摘要: Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a kidney disorder of unknown etiology and up to 20% of patients on dialysis have this diagnosis. A large family with hereditary FSGS carries a missense mutation in the TRPC6 gene on chromosome 11q, encoding the ion channel protein Transient Receptor Potential Cation Channel 6. The missense mutation is a P112Q substitution, which occurs in a highly conserved region of the protein, enhances TRPC6-mediated calcium signals in response to agonists such as angiotensin II, and alters the intracellular distribution of TRPC6 protein. Previous work has emphasized the importance of cytoskeletal and structural proteins in proteinuric kidney diseases. Our findings suggest a novel mechanism for glomerular disease pathogenesis.

    摘要: The present invention provides methods of identifying a subject having an increased risk of developing autistic disorder, comprising: a) correlating the presence of one or more genetic markers within a GABAR subunit gene with an increased risk of developing autistic disorder; and b) detecting the one or more genetic markers of step (a) in the subject, thereby identifying the subject as having an increased risk of developing autistic disorder. Also provided are methods of identifying effective treatment regimens for autistic disorder, based on correlation with genetic markers a GABAR subunit gene. The present invention further provides methods of diagnosing an autistic disorder in a subject, comprising detecting genetic markers correlated with a diagnosis of an autistic disorder.
