Cystic fibrosis patients from the black sea region: The 1677delTA mutation
(1994)A 2 bp deletion in exon 10 of the CFTR gene, 1677delTA, which is very rare among CF chromosomes worldwide, was found to be a relatively common cause of cystic fibrosis in countries located in the region of the Black Sea. ...

Detection of a novel nonsense mutation and an intragenic polymorphism in the PKD1 gene of a Cypriot family with autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease
(1996)Mutations in the PKD1 gene on the short arm of chromosome 16 account for 85%-90% of polycystic kidney disease patients in the Caucasian population. After the recent characterization of the gene, we started a search for ...

Evidence for recent selection of the CCR5-Δ32 deletion from differences in its frequency between Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews
(2000)Recent studies have shown higher frequencies of the CCR5-Δ32 allele and the CCR5-A32/Δ32 genotype, which confers protection against HIV infection, in northern Europe as compared to Mediterranean countries. Here, we analyse ...

Haploinsufficiency of the miR-873/miR-876 microRNA cluster is associated with craniofacial abnormalities
(2015)MicroRNA haploinsufficiency has been associated with developmental defects in only a limited number of cases. Here we report a de novo genomic microdeletion that includes the LINGO2 gene as well as two microRNA genes, ...

Novel PKD1 deletions and missense variants in a cohort of Hellenic polycystic kidney disease families
(2001)The autosomal dominant form of polycystic kidney disease is a very frequent genetically heterogeneous inherited condition affecting approximately 1: 1000 individuals of the Caucasian population. The main symptom is the ...
