Past medical history was unremarkable except for renal disease of unknown cause in childhood, which spontaneously improved. Family history was negative for neurological disease. On examination, moderate proximal symmetrical myopathy, more pronounced in the arms, was noted and the patient was unable to lift his arms above the horizontal position. The patient had a hyperlordotic, waddling gait and was only able to walk 100 meters without the aid of crutches. Bilateral scapular winging was present, and bilateral atrophy of the biceps, triceps, and quadriceps was noted, whilst the deltoid muscles were well preserved. Calf hypertrophy was present. The Trendelenburg sign was positive, and the patient was unable to rise from squatting. -

Al-Qahtani1 From 3rd International Genomic Medicine Conference Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. 30 November - 3 December 2015 Abstract Background: Epilepsy is genetically complex but common brain disorder of the world affecting millions of people with almost of all age groups. Novel Copy number variations (CNVs) are considered as important reason for the numerous neurodevelopmental disorders along with intellectual disability and epilepsy. DNA array based studies contribute to explain a more severe clinical presentation of the disease but interoperation of many detected CNVs are still challenging. Results: In order to study novel CNVs with epilepsy related genes in Saudi family with six affected and two normal individuals with several forms of epileptic seizures, intellectual disability (ID), and minor dysmorphism, we performed the high density whole genome Agilent sure print G3 Hmn CGH 2x 400 K array-CGH chips analysis. Our results showed de novo deletions, duplications and deletion plus duplication on differential chromosomal regions in the affected individuals that were not shown in the normal fathe and normal kids by using Agilent CytoGenomics 3.0.6.6 softwear. Copy number gain were observed in the chromosome 1, 16 and 22 with LCE3C, HPR, GSTT2, GSTTP2, DDT and DDTL genes respectively whereas the deletions observed in the chromosomal regions 8p23-p21 (4303127–4337759) and the potential gene in this region is CSMD1 (OMIM: 612279). -

Schizophrenia is a complex illness thought to be caused by a number of genetic and environmental effects, few of which have been clearly defined. Recent reports have found several low prevalent CNVs associated with the disease. We have used a multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification-based (MLPA) method to target 140 previously reported and putatively relevant gene-containing CNV regions in 654 schizophrenic patients and 604 controls for association studies. -
Comparative Genomic Evidence for the Involvement of Schizophrenia
Comparative genomic evidence for the involvement of schizophrenia risk genes in antipsychotic effects 1,2,8 1,2,8 1,2,3,4,8 5 1,2 1,2 1,2 1,2 Y Kim , P Giusti-Rodriguez , JJ Crowley , J Bryois , RJ Nonneman , AK Ryan , CR Quackenbush , MD Iglesias-Ussel , 6 2,7 2 1,2,3,5 PH Lee , W Sun , FP-M de Villena and PF Sullivan Genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for schizophrenia have identified over 100 loci encoding 4500 genes. It is unclear whether any of these genes, other than dopamine receptor D2, are immediately relevant to antipsychotic effects or represent novel antipsychotic targets. We applied an in vivo molecular approach to this question by performing RNA sequencing of brain tissue from mice chronically treated with the antipsychotic haloperidol or vehicle. We observed significant enrichments of haloperidol- regulated genes in schizophrenia GWAS loci and in schizophrenia-associated biological pathways. Our findings provide empirical support for overlap between genetic variation underlying the pathophysiology of schizophrenia and the molecular effects of a prototypical antipsychotic.

Summary Background: The glutathione S-transferase (GST) enzymes catalyze the conjugation of xenobiotics to glutathione. Based on reports that inherited copy number variations (CNV) modulate some GST gene expression levels, and that the small airway epithelium (SAE) and alveolar macrophages (AM) are involved early in the pathogenesis of smoking-induced lung disease, we asked: do germline CNVs modulate GST expression levels in SAE and AM? Methods: Microarrays were used to survey GST gene expression in SAE and AM obtained by bronchoscopy from current smokers and nonsmokers, and to determine CNV genotypes. Results: Twenty six % of subjects were null for both GSTM1 alleles, with reduced GSTM1 mRNA levels seen in both SAE and AM . Thirty % of subjects had homozygous deletions of GSTT1 with reduced mRNA levels in both tissues. Interestingly, GSTT2B, exhibited homozygous deletion in blood in 27% of subjects and was not expressed in SAE in the remainder of subjects but was expressed in AM of heterozygotes and wild type subjects, proportionate to genotype.
