Identificación de aberraciones cromosómicas en una población infantil costarricense con discapacidad intelectual idiopática
Identification of chromosomal aberrations in a Costa Rican children population with idiopathicintellectual disability
(2022-01)
La prevalencia mundial de la discapacidad intelectual (DI) es del 3 %. Una de las causas más comunes de DI de origen genético son las aberraciones cromosómicas, las cuales resultan fácilmente detectables mediante un ...
Reduced current density and surface expression of a CLCN1 mutation causing dominant or recessive myotonia in Costa Rica
(2014)
Mutations in CLCN1 coding for the muscle ClC-1 Cl- channel lead to dominant (Thomsen's disease) of recessive (Becker's disease) myotonia. Here we characterized several CLCN1 mutations identified in Costa Rica myotonia ...
Functional and Structural Characterization of ClC-1 and Nav1.4 Channels Resulting from CLCN1 and SCN4A Mutations Identified Alone and Coexisting in Myotonic Patients.
(2021)
Non-dystrophic myotonias have been linked to loss-of-function mutations in the ClC-1
chloride channel or gain-of-function mutations in the Nav1.4 sodium channel. Here, we describe
a family with members diagnosed with ...
Identification and Functional Characterization of CLCN1 Mutations Found in Nondystrophic Myotonia Patients
(2016)
Mutations in the gene coding for the skeletal muscle Cl− channel (CLCN1) lead to dominant or recessive myotonia. Here, we identified and characterized CLCN1 mutations in Costa Rican patients, who had been clinically diagnosed ...
Longitudinal increases in somatic mosaicism of the expanded CTG repeat in myotonic dystrophy type 1 are associated with variation in age-at-onset
(2020-06-30)
In myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1), somatic mosaicism of the (CTG)n repeat expansion is age-dependent, tissue-specific and expansion-biased. These features contribute toward variation in disease severity and confound ...
Estudios genético-moleculares de miotonías hereditarias en la población costarricense
Molecular-genetic studies of inherited myotonic conditions in Costa Rica
(2022-01)
Introducción: las miotonías hereditarias son enfermedades del músculo esquelético, clínica y genéticamente heterogéneas, caracterizadas por presentar miotonía (retraso en la relajación muscular). Se dividen en distróficas ...
