The Phase II HapMap is described, which characterizes over 3.1 million human single nucleotide polymorphisms genotyped in 270 individuals from four geographically diverse populations and includes 25–35% of common SNP variation in the populations surveyed, and increased differentiation at non-synonymous, compared to synonymous, SNPs is demonstrated.

A functional SNP (itpkc_3) in the inositol 1,4,5-trisphosphate 3-kinase C (ITPKC) gene on chromosome 19q13.2 that is significantly associated with Kawasaki disease susceptibility and also with an increased risk of coronary artery lesions is identified.

By exome sequencing, we found de novo SMARCB1 mutations in two of five individuals with typical Coffin-Siris syndrome (CSS), a rare autosomal dominant anomaly syndrome. As SMARCB1 encodes a subunit…

Detailed clinical data of 24 patients with full trisomy 18 admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of Nagano Children's Hospital, providing intensive treatment to those with trisom 18, from 1994 to 2003 are reviewed to delineate the natural history of trisome 18 managed under intensive treatment.
An imprinted gene p57KIP2 is mutated in Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome
Nine patients with Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome were examined and two were heterozygous for different mutations in this gene — a missense mutation in the Cdk inhibitory domain resulting in loss of most of the protein, and a frameshift resulting in disruption of the QT domain.
Fifty microdeletions among 112 cases of Sotos syndrome: Low copy repeats possibly mediate the common deletion
- N. Kurotaki, N. Harada, N. Matsumoto
- BiologyHuman Mutation
- 1 November 2003
A sequence‐based physical map was constructed and highly homologous sequences, i.e., possible low copy repeats (LCRs), in regions flanking proximal and distal breakpoints of the common deletion, suggests that LCRs may mediate the deletion.
Aniridia-associated cytogenetic rearrangements suggest that a position effect may cause the mutant phenotype.

- 1 March 1995
It is proposed that the PAX6 gene on the rearranged chromosome 11 is in an inappropriate chromatin environment for normal expression and therefore that a 'position effect' is the underlying mechanism of disease in these families.
