Am J Respir Cell Mol Biol 23:696-702. 2000..On the basis of the Chlamydomonas model for PCD, this gene represents an excellent candidate for PCD...
Human adolescent nephronophthisis: gene locus synteny with polycystic kidney disease in pcy miceH Omran
University Children s Hospital, Freiburg University, Freiburg, Germany
J Am Soc Nephrol 12:107-13. 2001....
Establishing an algorithm for molecular genetic diagnostics in 127 families with juvenile nephronophthisisF Hildebrandt
University Children s Hospital, Freiburg University, Freiburg, Germany
Kidney Int 59:434-45. 2001..Molecular genetic testing offers the only method for definite diagnosis of NPH1 and avoids invasive diagnostic measures like renal biopsy...
Possible genotype-phenotype correlations in children with mild clinical course of Canavan diseaseU Tacke
Department of Paediatric Neurology and Muscle Disease, University Children's Hospital, Freiburg, Germany
Neuropediatrics 36:252-5. 2005..In the third individual, two homozygous sequence variants were identified, which comprise the known G274R mutation and a novel K213E variant...
Identification of a new gene locus for adolescent nephronophthisis, on chromosome 3q22 in a large Venezuelan pedigreeH Omran
University Children s Hospital, 79106 Freiburg, Germany
Am J Hum Genet 66:118-27. 2000..These findings will have implications for diagnosis and genetic counseling in hereditary chronic renal failure and provide the basis for identification of the responsible gene...
Identification of a novel LAMP2 mutation responsible for X-chromosomal dominant Danon diseaseJ Horvath
Department of Pediatric Neurology and Muscle Disease, University Children s Hospital Freiburg, Mathildenstrasse 1, 79106 Freiburg, Germany
Neuropediatrics 34:270-3. 2003..Demonstration of the LAMP2 mutation in affected male and female siblings is compatible with X-linked dominant inheritance. Danon disease should be actively looked for in cardiomyopathy patients...
Candidate gene analysis of KIAA0678 encoding a DnaJ-like protein for adolescent nephronophthisis and Senior-Løken syndrome type 3A Volz
Department of Pediatrics and Adolescent Medicine, Freiburg, Germany
Cytogenet Genome Res 97:163-6. 2002..No mutation in KIAA0678 was detected. We conclude, KIAA0678 most likely is not responsible for NPH and SLS in the patients studied...
Congenital myopathy with arrest of myogenesis prior to formation of myotubesU-P Ketelsen
Department of Neuropediatrics and Muscle Disorders, Neuromuscular Pathology, Albert-Ludwigs-University, Freiburg, Germany
Neuropediatrics 36:246-51. 2005..These myopathological findings were absent in cardiac muscle, indicating that the defect exclusively affects skeletal muscle formation...
L-2-hydroxyglutaric aciduria: identification of ten novel mutations in the L2HGDH geneJ O Sass
Labor für Klinische Biochemie und Stoffwechsel, Zentrum für Kinder und Jugendmedizin, Universitatsklinikum Freiburg, Mathildenstr 1, 79106, Freiburg, Germany
J Inherit Metab Dis 31:S275-9. 2008..None of the mutations was found in the control population, indicating that they are most probably causative. Mutation analysis may improve the quality of diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis of L-2-HGA...
Mutation of BSND causes Bartter syndrome with sensorineural deafness and kidney failureR Birkenhäger
University Children s Hospital, Freiburg University, D 79106 Freiburg, Germany
Nat Genet 29:310-4. 2001..The gene encodes a hitherto unknown protein with two putative transmembrane alpha-helices and thus might function as a regulator for ion-transport proteins involved in aBS, or else as a new transporter or channel itself...
Further evidence for a somatic KRAS mutation in a pilocytic astrocytomaW G Janzarik
Department of Neurology, University Hospital Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany
Neuropediatrics 38:61-3. 2007..These data suggest that Ras is rarely mutated in these tumors. Analyzed astrocytomas without mutations in Ras or neurofibromin may harbor mutations in other proteins of this pathway leading to hyperactive Ras signaling...
Refining the phenotype of alpha-1a Tubulin (TUBA1A) mutation in patients with classical lissencephalyD J Morris-Rosendahl
Institute for Human Genetics and Anthropology, Albert Ludwigs University of Freiburg, Freiburg, Germany
Clin Genet 74:425-33. 2008....
Identification of the human ortholog of the t-complex-encoded protein TCTE3 and evaluation as a candidate gene for primary ciliary dyskinesiaJ Neesen
Institute of Human Genetics, University of Gottingen, Germany
Cytogenet Genome Res 98:38-44. 2002..However, this exchange was also detected in one control DNA. Our results indicate that mutations in the TCTE3 gene are not a main cause of primary ciliary dyskinesia...
Genotype-phenotype correlations in PCD patients carrying DNAH5 mutationsA Kispert
Thorax 58:552-4. 2003
Neurological findings in aminoacylase 1 deficiencyJ O Sass

Institute for Human Genetics, University of Technology Aachen, Germany
Neurology 60:983-7. 2003..Other organ malformations or peripheral nerve involvement have been regarded as exclusion criteria for infantile SMA. Whether SMN protein deficiency can also lead to loss of sensory neurons has not been systematically addressed...
