Abstract We describe the phenotype of 22 male patients (20 probands) carrying a hemizygous missense variant in MED12. The phenotypic spectrum is very broad ranging from nonspecific intellectual disability (ID) to the three well‐known syndromes: Opitz–Kaveggia syndrome, Lujan–Fryns syndrome, or Ohdo syndrome.

Prognostic significance of MGMT promoter methylation in diffuse glioma patients
Current treatment options for diffuse glioma patients include maximum safe resection followed by a combination of radiation therapy and chemotherapy with alkylating agents.

Multiple chaotic central pattern generators with learning for legged locomotion and malfunction compensation [PDF]
An originally chaotic system can be controlled into various periodic dynamics. When it is implemented into a legged robot's locomotion control as a central pattern generator (CPG), sophisticated gait patterns arise so that the robot can perform various walking behaviors.

Learning Quadruped Locomotion using Bio-Inspired Neural Networks with Intrinsic Rhythmicity [PDF]
Biological studies reveal that neural circuits located at the spinal cord called central pattern generator (CPG) oscillates and generates rhythmic signals, which are the underlying mechanism responsible for rhythmic locomotion behaviors of animals.

Tissue mosaicism, FMR1 expression and intellectual functioning in males with fragile X syndrome
Abstract Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by hypermethylation of the FMR1 promoter due to the full mutation expansion (full mutation [FM]: CGG ≥ 200 repeats) and silencing of FMR1. Assessment of mosaicism for active‐unmethylated alleles has prognostic utility.

Cross-talk by pattern recognition receptors may facilitate the maturation of dendritic cells and fine tune the immune response. Thus, the inclusion of ligands agonistic to multiple receptors in a vaccine formula may be an effective strategy to elicit ...

DNA methylation (DNAm) in mammals is mostly examined within the context of CpG dinucleotides. Non-CpG DNAm is also widespread across the human genome, but the functional relevance, tissue-specific disposition, and inter-individual variability has not ...

CpG islands – ‘A rough guide’ [PDF]
Mammalian genomes are punctuated by DNA sequences containing an atypically high frequency of CpG sites termed CpG islands (CGIs). CGIs generally lack DNA methylation and associate with the majority of annotated gene promoters. Many studies, however, have identified examples of CGI methylation in malignant cells, leading to improper gene silencing.

Low-cost, refrigerator-stable COVID-19 vaccines will facilitate global access and improve vaccine coverage in low- and middle-income countries. To this end, subunit-based approaches targeting the receptor-binding domain (RBD) of SARS-CoV-2 Spike protein ...

Urine is a rich source of biomarkers for cancer detection. Tumor‐derived material is released into the bloodstream and transported to the urine. Urine can easily be collected from individuals, allowing non‐invasive cancer detection. This review discusses the rationale behind urine‐based cancer detection and its potential for cancer diagnostics ...
