Abstract

Papillon-Lefèvre syndrome is a particularly devastating disease that eludes all forms of therapy. It challenges researchers to find a connection between the dermatologic aspects of the disease and the severe periodontosis resulting in an edentulous patient in just a few years.

Central core disease due to recessive mutations in RYR1 gene: is it more common than described?

Central core disease (CCD) is an autosomal-dominant congenital myopathy, with muscle weakness and malignant hyperthermia (MH) susceptibility. We identified two of nine Brazilian CCD families carrying two mutations in the RYR1 gene. The heterozygous parents were clinically asymptomatic, and patients were mildly affected, differing from the few autosomal-recessive cases described previously. Recessive inheritance in CCD may therefore be more common than previously appreciated, which has important implications for genetic counseling and MH prevention in affected families.

PINK-1 and DJ-1--new genes for autosomal recessive Parkinson's disease.

Our genetic knowledge of Parkinson's disease (PD) is moving forward at an impressive speed. In less then 10 years family-based linkage analysis and positional cloning have led to the identification of several genes for familial forms of PD, which has been of critical importance to the scientific advance of PD research as the causal genes have offered new tools to model and understand pathways leading to neurodegeneration in PD.
