474 RNASEL Mutation Screening and Association Study in Ashkenazi and Non-Ashkenazi Prostate Cancer Patients (2009)

Avi Orr-urtreger, Anat Bar-shira, Dani Bercovich, Noa Matarasso, Uri Rozovsky, Serena Rosner, ...

Epidemiologic and genetic studies support the considerable effect of heritable factors on prostate tumorigenesis, although to date, no unequivocal susceptibility gene has been identified. The...

SMN1dosage analysis in spinal muscular atrophy from India (2005)

Kesari, Akanchha, Rennert, Hanna, Leonard, Debra GB, Mittal, Balraj

Abstract Background Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) represents the second most common fatal autosomal recessive disorder after cystic fibrosis. Due to the high carrier frequency, the burden of this...

Association of Susceptibility Alleles in ELAC2/HPC2, RNASEL/HPC1, and MSR1 with Prostate Cancer Severity in European American and African American Men

Rennert, Hanna, Zeigler-Johnson, Charnita M., Addya, Kathakali, Finley, Matthew J., Walker, Amy H., Spangler, Elaine, ...

Reported associations of ELAC2/HPC2, RNASEL/HPC1, and MSR1 with prostate cancer have been inconsistent and understudied in African Americans. We evaluated the role of 16 sequence variants in these...

A Novel Founder Mutation in the RNASEL Gene, 471delAAAG, Is Associated with Prostate Cancer in Ashkenazi Jews

Rennert, Hanna, Bercovich, Dani, Hubert, Ayala, Abeliovich, Dvora, Rozovsky, Uri, Bar-Shira, Anat, ...

HPC1/RNASEL was recently identified as a candidate gene for hereditary prostate cancer. We identified a novel founder frameshift mutation in RNASEL, 471delAAAG, in Ashkenazi Jews. The mutation...

Heteroduplex Formation in SMN Gene Dosage Analysis

Ogino, Shuji, Leonard, Debra G. B., Rennert, Hanna, Gao, Sizhen, Wilson, Robert B.

Most spinal muscular atrophy patients lack both copies of SMN1 exon 7 and most carriers have only one copy of SMN1 exon 7. We investigated the effect of SMN1/SMN2 heteroduplex formation on SMN gene...

Spinal Muscular Atrophy Genetic Testing Experience at an Academic Medical Center

Ogino, Shuji, Leonard, Debra G. B., Rennert, Hanna, Wilson, Robert B.

Approximately 94% of spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) patients lack both copies of SMN1 exon 7. We report our SMA genetic testing experience (total 1281 cases), using SMA linkage analysis (32 families),...

Multiplex RT-PCR for the Detection of Leukemia-Associated Translocations : Validation and Application to Routine Molecular Diagnostic Practice

Salto-Tellez, Manuel, Shelat, Suresh G., Benoit, Bernice, Rennert, Hanna, Carroll, Martin, Leonard, Debra G.B., ...

The aim of this study was to validate the application of a commercially available multiplex reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay [Hemavision-7 System] for the seven most...
