T1 |
0-101 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Intronic deletions in the SLC34A3 gene cause hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria. |
T2 |
102-110 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONTEXT: |
T3 |
111-352 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets with hypercalciuria (HHRH) is a rare metabolic disorder, characterized by hypophosphatemia and rickets/osteomalacia with increased serum 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D [1,25-(OH)(2)D] resulting in hypercalciuria. |
T4 |
353-363 |
Sentence |
denotes |
OBJECTIVE: |
T5 |
364-532 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Our objective was to determine whether mutations in the SLC34A3 gene, which encodes sodium-phosphate cotransporter type IIc, are responsible for the occurrence of HHRH. |
T6 |
533-552 |
Sentence |
denotes |
DESIGN AND SETTING: |
T7 |
553-689 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Mutation analysis of exons and adjacent introns in the SLC34A3 gene was conducted at an academic research laboratory and medical center. |
T8 |
690-721 |
Sentence |
denotes |
PATIENTS OR OTHER PARTICIPANTS: |
T9 |
722-792 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Members of two unrelated families with HHRH participated in the study. |
T10 |
793-801 |
Sentence |
denotes |
RESULTS: |
T11 |
802-888 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Two affected siblings in one family were homozygous for a 101-bp deletion in intron 9. |
T12 |
889-1001 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Haplotype analysis of the SLC34A3 locus in the family showed that the two deletions are on different haplotypes. |
T13 |
1002-1158 |
Sentence |
denotes |
An unrelated individual with HHRH was a compound heterozygote for an 85-bp deletion in intron 10 and a G-to-A substitution at the last nucleotide in exon 7. |
T14 |
1159-1272 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The intron 9 deletion (and likely the other two mutations) identified in this study causes aberrant RNA splicing. |
T15 |
1273-1378 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Sequence analysis of the deleted regions revealed the presence of direct repeats of homologous sequences. |
T16 |
1379-1449 |
Sentence |
denotes |
CONCLUSION: HHRH is caused by biallelic mutations in the SLC34A3 gene. |
T17 |
1450-1530 |
Sentence |
denotes |
Haplotype analysis suggests that the two intron 9 deletions arose independently. |
T18 |
1531-1724 |
Sentence |
denotes |
The identification of three independent deletions in introns 9 and 10 suggests that the SLC34A3 gene may be susceptible to unequal crossing over because of sequence misalignment during meiosis. |
