Abstract Classic galactosaemia is an inherited metabolic disorder of galactose metabolism caused by deficiency of the enzyme galactose-1-phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT) resulting from mutations in the GALT gene. The objectives of…
Abstract Gitelman syndrome is an autosomal recessive salt-wasting tubulopathy caused by mutations in the gene. A female and a male sibling from two unrelated Greek-Cypriot families presenting with a severe…
Abstract Designer nucleases are versatile tools for genome modification and therapy development and have gained widespread accessibility with the advent of clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR)/CRISPR-associated protein (Cas)…
Abstract Rare diseases pose a global challenge, in that their collective impact on health systems is considerable, whereas their individually rare occurrence impedes research and development of efficient therapies. In…
Abstract To investigate how genotype is related to phenotype and document correlations of genotype-phenotype with response of topical administration of dorzolamide in siblings affected with X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS). We…
Abstract Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 4C is the most common recessively inherited demyelinating neuropathy that results from loss of function mutations in the SH3TC2 gene. Sh3tc2-/- mice represent a well characterized…
Abstract Complement factor H-related protein 5 (CFHR5) nephropathy is an inherited renal disease characterized by microscopic and synpharyngitic macroscopic haematuria, C3 glomerulonephritis and renal failure. It is caused by an…
Abstract The linguistic foundations of science and technology include many terms that have been borrowed from ancient languages. In the case of terms with origins in the Greek language, the…
Abstract Functional gastrointestinal disorders (FGID) are heterogeneous disorders with a variety of clinical manifestations, primarily defined by signs and symptoms rather than a definite underlying cause. Their pathophysiology remains obscure…
