Identification of single gene deletions at 15q13.3: further evidence that CHRNA7 causes the 15q13.3 microdeletion syndrome phenotype.

abstract：:It is well known that founder mutations associated with cancer risk have useful implications for molecular diagnostics. We report the presence of a founder mutation in EPCAM involved in the etiology of Lynch syndrome (LS). The mutation extends nearly 8.7 kb (c.858 + 2478_*4507del) and is shared by 8 Polish families.

abstract：:Fabry disease is an X-linked disorder caused by a deficiency of the lysosomal alpha-galactosidase A [EC 3.2.1.22]. The molecular diagnosis of Fabry disease is important for genotype/phenotype correlation, pre-natal or early diagnosis, and detection of carrier status. Although more than 200 genotypes of the alpha-galac...
