Genomic test ends a long diagnostic odyssey in a patient with resistance to thyroid hormones

Arsov, Todor; Xie, Chengmei; Shen, Nan et al.

Thyroid Res · 2019 · English · PubMed Central

BACKGROUND: Resistance to thyroid hormones is a very rare condition, which is often misdiagnosed and mistreated. The cases where there is a concomitant autoimmune thyroid disorder are ultra-rare and particularly challenging to treat. Diagnostic and research-based genomic testing can sometimes…

The Role of Genetic Risk Factors in Pathogenesis of Childhood-Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Curr Issues Mol Biol · 2023 · English · PubMed Central

The pathogenesis of childhood-onset systemic lupus erythematosus (cSLE) is complex and not fully understood. It involves three key factors: genetic risk factors, epigenetic mechanisms, and environmental triggers. Genetic factors play a significant role in the development of the disease…

A Novel Pathogenic TUBA1A Variant in a Croatian Infant Is Linked to a Severe Tubulinopathy with Walker–Warburg-like Features

Saidin, Akzam; Papazovska Cherepnalkovski, Anet; Shaukat, Zeeshan et al.

Genes (Basel) · 2024 · English · PubMed Central

Tubulinopathies are associated with malformations of cortical development but not Walker–Warburg Syndrome. Intensive monitoring of a Croatian infant presenting as Walker–Warburg Syndrome in utero began at 21 weeks due to increased growth of cerebral ventricles and foetal biparietal diameter…

Case report: First diagnosis of Fabry disease in North Macedonia in a patient presenting with kidney failure on hemodialysis

Gjorgjievski, Nikola; Karanfilovski, Vlatko; Arsov, Todor et al.

Front Genet · 2024 · English · PubMed Central

INTRODUCTION: Fabry disease is a rare X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by α-galactosidase A (α-Gal A) deficiency. Reduced or absent enzyme activity causes progressive lysosomal accumulation of globotriaosylceramide (Lyso-Gb3) in various cells throughout the body to trigger inflammation…

Spiroski, Igor; Kedev, Sashko; Antov, Slobodan et al.

Croat Med J · 2008 · English · PubMed Central

AIM: To analyze the association of methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase polymorphisms (MTHFR-677 and MTHFR-1298) with occlusive artery disease and deep venous thrombosis in Macedonians. METHODS: We examined 83 healthy respondents, 76 patients with occlusive artery disease, and 67 patients with deep…

Association of Cytokine Gene Polymorphisms with Bronchial Asthma in Macedonians

Trajkov Dejan; Mirkovska-Stojkovikj Jagoda; Arsov Todor et al.

Iranian Journal of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, Vol. 7 No. 3 · 2008 · English · DOAJ Scopus

Bronchial asthma is a multifactorial disease whereby both environmental and genetic factors contribute to its aetiology and/or clinical severity. The aim of this study was to examine the association of 22 cytokine gene polymorphism in the Macedonian population with bronchial asthma (BA). The sample…

Influence of the elevated ambient temperature on immunoglobulin G and immunoglobulin G subclasses in sera of Wistar rats

Jurhar-Pavlova Maja; Petlichkovski Aleksandar; Trajkov Dejan et al.

Vojnosanitetski Pregled, Vol. 60 No. 6 · 2003 · Serbian · DOAJ Scopus

The aim of our research was to examine changes in the immune system of the rats influenced by the elevated ambient temperature. Male Wistar rats were divided, into 2 groups and housed at 20 ± 2°C (n=64, control group) and 35 ± 1°C (n=74, experimental group), during precise timing of 1, 4, 7, 14…

Trio whole exome sequencing in Chinese childhood-onset lupus reveals novel candidate genes

Ma, Jianyang; Qin, Yuting; Hong, Soon-Min et al.

Arthritis Rheumatol · 2025 · English · PubMed Central

OBJECTIVES: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which rare and common gene variants contribute to pathogenesis. Severe sporadic disease in children is often explained by ‘de novo’ variants that can be uncovered by trio sequencing. METHODS: Whole exome sequencing was…

Kufs Disease, the Major Adult Form of Neuronal Ceroid Lipofuscinosis, Caused by Mutations in CLN6

Arsov, Todor; Smith, Katherine R.; Damiano, John et al.

Am J Hum Genet · 2011 · English · PubMed Central

The molecular basis of Kufs disease is unknown, whereas a series of genes accounting for most of the childhood-onset forms of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis (NCL) have been identified. Diagnosis of Kufs disease is difficult because the characteristic lipopigment is largely confined to neurons and…

Mutation of the nuclear lamin gene LMNB2 in progressive myoclonus epilepsy with early ataxia

Hum Mol Genet · 2015 · English · PubMed Central

We studied a consanguineous Palestinian Arab family segregating an autosomal recessive progressive myoclonus epilepsy (PME) with early ataxia. PME is a rare, often fatal syndrome, initially responsive to antiepileptic drugs which over time becomes refractory and can be associated with cognitive…

P2RY8 variants in lupus patients uncover a role for the receptor in immunological tolerance

He, Yuke; Gallman, Antonia E.; Xie, Chengmei et al.

J Exp Med · 2021 · English · PubMed Central
