    • Evidence for anticipation in Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome 

      Berland, Siren; Appelbäck, Mia Sanby; Bruland, Ove; Beygo, Jasmin; Buiting, Karin; Mackay, Deborah J.G.; Temple, I. Karen; Houge, Gunnar (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2013)
      Classical Beckwith–Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) was diagnosed in two sisters and their male cousin. The children’s mothers and a third sister were tall statured (178, 185 and 187 cm) and one had mild BWS features as a child. ...
    • Genetic Dominant Variants in STUB1, Segregating in Families with SCA48, Display In Vitro Functional Impairments Indistinctive from Recessive Variants Associated with SCAR16 

      Pakdaman, Yasaman; Berland, Siren; Bustad, Helene J.; Erdal, Sigrid; Thompson, Bryony A.; James, Paul A.; Power, Kjersti; Ellingsen, Ståle; Krooni, Martin; Berge, Line Iden; Sexton, Adrienne; Bindoff, Laurence Albert; Knappskog, Per Morten; Johansson, Stefan; Aukrust, Ingvild (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2021)
      Variants in STUB1 cause both autosomal recessive (SCAR16) and dominant (SCA48) spinocerebellar ataxia. Reports from 18 STUB1 variants causing SCA48 show that the clinical picture includes later-onset ataxia with a cerebellar ...

      Background: We aimed to define the clinical and variant spectrum and to provide novel molecular insights into the DHX30-associated neurodevelopmental disorder. Methods: Clinical and genetic data from affected individuals ...
    • LRFN5 locus structure is associated with autism and influenced by the sex of the individual and locus conversions 

      Lybæk, Helle; Robson, Michael; de Leeuw, Nicole; Hehir-Kwa, Jayne Y.; Jeffries, Aaron; Haukanes, Bjørn Ivar; Berland, Siren; de Bruijn, Diederik; Mundlos, Stefan; Spielmann, Malte; Houge, Gunnar Douzgos (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2022)
      LRFN5 is a regulator of synaptic development and the only gene in a 5.4 Mb mammalian-specific conserved topologically associating domain (TAD); the LRFN5 locus. An association between locus structural changes and developmental ...
    • Population prevalence and inheritance pattern of recurrent CNVs associated with neurodevelopmental disorders in 12,252 newborns and their parents
