Home About Us What We Do What's New ... Search Elisabeth Dykens, Ph.D. edykens@mednet.ucla.edu About Dr. Dykens At present, Dr. Dykens is Associate Professor at the Neuropsychiatric Institute, University of California, Los Angeles. In addition to her syndrome research, Dr. Dykens serves on the research and evaluation committee of Special Olympics International. She is on the scientific advisory boards of several national syndrome-specific organizations, and is a member of the Executive Committee of the Gatlinburg Conference on Research and Theory in Mental Retardation. She is a member-at-large for the American Psychological Association's Division 23 on Mental Retardation, and was recently nominated to the National Academies Research Council Committee on the Determination of Mental Retardation. Dr. Dykens is Associate Director of Research and Training at the Tarjan Center for Developmental Disabilities, and the Associate Director for Training and Education at the UCLA Mental Retardation Research Center (MRRC). Dr. Dykens also co-directs a behavioral clinic for persons with genetic syndromes and their families. Dykens' research identifies the neurobehavioral and developmental phenotypes of persons with genetic mental retardation syndromes, including Prader-Willi, Williams, Down, 5p-, fragile X, and Smith-Magenis syndromes. Some of Dykens work examines behavioral similarities and differences across syndromes, and these findings help refine the phenotype associated with each disorder. Yet most of Dykens research focuses on individual differences within syndromes, and addresses the question of why people with the same disorder vary in their phenotypic expression. Dykens is thus examining genetic, psychosocial and developmental sources of individual differences within syndromes.

Dykens, TCDD Associate Director, earned her Ph.D. in Clinical Psychology from the University of Kansas in 1985, and completed her pre- and post-doctoral fellowships at Yale University, Child Study Center, Department of Child Psychiatry. During this time, and later as an Assistant Professor at Yale, she developed her research interests in the behavioral phenotypes of persons with genetic syndromes, primarily fragile X syndrome. Over the last decade, Dr. Dykens has expanded her phenotypic research to include persons with Prader-Willi, Williams, Down, 5p-, and Smith-Magenis syndromes. Her work identifies syndrome-specific psychopathology and cognitive and adaptive profiles, and how these relate to genetic status and treatment.

Genetic Implications for Mental Retardation An interview with Brenda Finucane, M.S. co-author of Genetics and Mental Retardation Syndromes: A New Look at Behavior and Interventions. From the May 2001 Disabilities newsletter. Q: How has genetic research helped us to understand the behavior of people with mental retardation? A: Mental retardation is a "symptom" for which there are numerous underlying causes, many of which are diagnosable genetic syndromes. Over the past decade, there has been increased recognition of specific behavioral and cognitive features associated with many of these syndromes. Research into syndrome-specific behaviors and learning styles provides a "customized" approach to meeting the needs of these individuals, rather than the general, "one size fits all" approaches that have previously been applied to mental retardation. For example, people with Smith-Magenis syndrome often severely bite or pick at their fingernails and toenails. This appears to be related to problems with nerve functioning in the hands and feet due to the deletion of part of chromosome 17. Such knowledge allows us to focus on the physiological causes of self-injurious behavior in Smith-Magenis syndrome, rather than simply trying to alleviate the behavior without understanding the reason for it. Q: Do genetic syndromes affect all of those with the condition in the same way?

Next: James W. PatrickPh.D. Up: Members of the Faculty Previous: Sarah L. PallasPh.D. Pragna I. Patel, Ph.D. Associate Professor Neurology, Molecular and Human Genetics, and Neuroscience Ph.D., West Virginia University, 1982 Inherited human disorders: gene identification, regulation, diagnosis and therapy pragna@bcm.tmc.edu The central theme in my laboratory is understanding the genetic basis of inherited diseases particularly neurological disorders. The questions we address are:(i) What is the underlying gene(s) and the associated defect? (ii) How is the gene regulated in the normal and the diseased state? (iii) What are the diagnostic options? (iv) What are suitable DNA-based therapeutic options? Total deficiency of the enzyme hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) involved in the metabolic salvage of purines causes Lesch-Nyhan syndrome (LNS) characterized by mental retardation, compulsive self-mutilative behavior and gouty arthritis. The hierarchy of regulatory elements and proteins specifying neuronal versus constitutive expression of the gene are being studied towards determining the pathophysiology and therapies of LNS. Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited peripheral neuropathy. The subtype CMT1A is associated with a novel mutation consisting of a DNA duplication of 1.5 million bp on chromosome 17. Overexpression of the gene for the peripheral myelin protein PMP22 appears to underlie the demyelinating neuropathy in most CMT1A patients. Towards developing therapeutic strategies for correction of the CMT1A phenotype based on adjustment of gene dosage levels, we are studying the regulation of the PMP22 gene and defining the critical elements required for expression in Schwann cells versus other cell types.

Smith-Magenis Syndrome What are the effects of SMS? How is it diagnosed? Other great info Inventions for people with SMS References Click picture for legend and larger version Seven year-old girl with Smith-Magenis syndrome What is SMS? SMS is another word for Smith-Magenis Syndrome. It is a genetic disorder cause by the deletion of chromosome 17. This section is called 17p11.2. SMS is very rare, only occurring in 1 in 25,000 births. SMS is a genetic because the deletion occurs spontaneously during conception. Smith-Magenis Syndrome usually does not run in the family though. The reason this genetic disorder is called Smith-Magenis Syndrome is because Ann Smith and Dr. Ellen Magenis first described it. What are the effects of SMS? SMS causes a unique variety of symptoms. The most common are behavioral, sleep, eye, and hearing problems and mental retardation. Some of the behavioral problems include hyperactivity, head banging, explosive outbursts, and nervous actions. People with SMS also have hard trouble sleeping and/or staying asleep. Some other less common effects are short stature, short finger and toes, heart defects, urinary tract abnormalities, cleft lip, and hoarse voice. There are ways to test a baby for SMS before it is born. Most the time this is done for the parents who already have a child with SMS. How is it diagnosed?

annual report 1997 previous section start of section previous page next page ... next section Gene structure, expression and targeting of the mammalian flightless-1 (FLII) gene Hugh Campbell, Shelley Fountain, Ian Young#, Klaus Matthaei#, Deborah Davy#, Michael Crouch#, Ken-Shiung Chen*, James Lupski* Background and objectives Null mutations in the D. melanogaster fliI gene result in growth arrest of the embryo during early development. Cellularization of the syncytial blastoderm is affected and the next developmental stage, gastrulation, fails. Other mutations in the gene allow the development of the adult fly, but cause defects in the indirect flight muscles and result in flightlessness. We showed previously that the D. melanogaster gene encodes a large (1256 amino acid) protein containing a C-terminal domain related to the actin-binding protein gelsolin. It also encodes an N-terminal leucine-rich repeat domain, likely to be involved in protein-protein interactions. We have cloned the nematode C. elegans
