Endocrine 2019 11 16;66(2):185-191. Epub 2019 Jul 16.

Department of Medical Genetics, School of Medicine, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, Poursina Ave, 16 Azar St. Keshavarz BLVD, Tehran, 1417613151, Iran.

Purpose: Wolfram syndrome (WS) is a rare genetic disorder described by a pattern of clinical manifestations such as diabetes mellitus, diabetes insipidus, optic nerve atrophy, sensorineural hearing loss, urinary tract abnormalities, and psychiatric disorders. WFS1 and WFS2 loci are the main genetic loci associated with this disorder.

Methods: In the current study, we investigated associations between these loci and WS via STR markers and homozygosity mapping in 13 Iranian families with WS. All families were linked to WFS1 locus.

Results: Mutation analysis revealed four novel mutations (Q215X, E89X, S168Del, and E391Sfs*51) in the assessed families. Bioinformatics tools confirmed the pathogenicity of the novel mutations. Other identified mutations were previously reported in other populations for their pathogenicity.

Conclusions: The current study adds to the mutation repository of WS and shows a panel of mutations in Iranian population. Such panel would facilitate genetic counseling and prenatal diagnosis in families with WS cases.

First reported CABP2-related non-syndromic hearing loss in Northern Europe.

Authors:
Inger Norlyk Sheyanth Allan Thomas Højland Henrik Okkels Ihab Lolas Christian Thorup Michael Bjørn Petersen

Mol Genet Genomic Med 2021 Mar 5:e1639. Epub 2021 Mar 5.

Research and Knowledge Center in Sensory Genetics, Aalborg University Hospital, Aalborg, Denmark.

Background: CABP2-related non-syndromic hearing loss have only been reported in a few families worldwide (Iran, Turkey, Pakistan and Italy). The hearing loss was in these cases described as prelingual, symmetrical, and moderate to severe.

Methods: Following DNA isolation, exome sequencing was performed in 123 genes related to non-syndromic hearing loss. Read More

Posthumous reproduction in Iranian law.

Authors:
Elaheh Mohseni Mahmoud Abbasi

Reprod Biomed Soc Online 2021 Mar 15;12:79-87. Epub 2021 Jan 15.

Medical Ethics and Law Research Centre, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences and Health Services, Tehran, Iran.

Posthumous reproduction (PHR) is the process by which assisted reproductive technology is used to establish pregnancy and produce genetic offspring following the death of a parent. There are different ethical and legal approaches towards this method of reproduction around the world. This paper will study the legality of PHR and its legal consequences for the family status of a child born by this technology according to Iranian law. Read More

Int J Cancer 2021 Feb 26. Epub 2021 Feb 26.

Student Research Committee, Shiraz University of Medical Sciences, Shiraz, Iran.

Considering the rising incidence and mortality of thyroid cancer worldwide, the aim of our study was to determine the risk factors for thyroid cancer in a province with the highest incidence of thyroid cancer in the country located at the South of Iran. A population based case-control study was performed on 708 participants (361 new cases and 347 controls). The case participants were selected from the Iranian national cancer registry (NCR) database.

Contradictory results were reported on the effect of fat mass- and obesity-associated (FTO) gene and anthropometric measurements on breast cancer (BC). This study aimed to assess the interactions between rs9939609 polymorphism of FTO gene, anthropometric indices and BC risk in Iranian women. This case-control study was performed on 540 women including 180 women with BC and 360 healthy women in Tehran, Iran. Read More

Industrial & Organizational Psychology Department, Faculty Education & Psychology, Shahid Chamran University, Ahvaz 61336, Iran.

Objectives: This study examined the validity and reliability of the Family Health Climate Scale (FHC-Scale) among Iranian families. Second, can it be attributed to other family members by measuring the health climate in one person?

Method: In total, 261 female students and 196 mothers completed the FHC-Scale. The study instrument was a Persian version of the FHC-Scale prepared through a translation and back-translation process. Read More
