Mol Pain 4:21. 2008..This is the second reported study of potential compound heterozygosity for coding polymorphisms in Nav1.7, the first being in a patient with paroxysmal extreme pain disorder...
A mutation in the RNF170 gene causes autosomal dominant sensory ataxiaPaul N Valdmanis
Centre of Excellence in Neuromics, CHUM Notre Dame Hospital, Department of Medicine, University of Montreal, Canada

De novo mutations in the gene encoding the synaptic scaffolding protein SHANK3 in patients ascertained for schizophreniaJulie Gauthier
Department of Medicine, Centre of Excellence in Neuromics of Université de Montréal, Centre Hospitalier de L Universite de Montreal Research Center, Universite de Montreal, Montreal, QC H2L 2W5, Canada
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A 107:7863-8. 2010..As mutations in SHANK3 were previously reported in autism, the occurrence of SHANK3 mutations in subjects with a schizophrenia phenotype suggests a molecular genetic link between these two neurodevelopmental disorders...
A mutation in PCSK9 causing autosomal-dominant hypercholesterolemia in a Utah pedigreeKirsten M Timms
