DOI: 10.1080/13816810.2019.1681008
Abstract: ABSTRACT Background: Mutations in CACNA1F have been mainly associated with X-linked incomplete congenital stationary night blindness (icCSNB). Variable phenotypic expression in females was reported in some families. We report here three non-related Ashkenazi Jewish families… read more here.

DOI: 10.1136/bjophthalmol-2021-320084
Abstract: Background/aims Norrin cysteine knot growth factor (NDP) located on the X chromosome, was previously reported to cause Norrie disease and familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR), which are blindness-causing ocular disorders, in males. In this study, we… read more here.

DOI: 10.1212/nxg.0000000000000651
Abstract: Background and Objectives Variations in SLC9A6 cause the X-linked neurologic disorder Christianson syndrome in males. Meanwhile, female carriers with SLC9A6 variations may remain asymptomatic or develop intellectual disability, behavioral problems, and psychiatric illnesses. Only a… read more here.

DOI: 10.3389/fgene.2021.782629
Abstract: Prenatal risk assessment of carriers of heterozygous X-linked deletion is a big challenge due to the phenotypic modification induced by X chromosome inactivation (XCI). Herein, we described four Chinese pedigrees with maternal-inherited X-deletions above 1… read more here.

Abstract: Background: Different from males with Duchenne/Becker muscular dystrophy (DMD/BMD) in whom overt myopathy is the rule, muscular dystrophy (MD) female carriers are mostly free of skeletal muscle symptoms. However, similar to MD males, these females… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes13071268
Abstract: Choroideremia is an X-linked recessive condition presenting in males, with progressive degeneration of retinal and choroidal tissues leading to progressive visual loss. Its pathological mechanism is due to alterations in the CHM gene that encodes… read more here.
