Noonan syndrome and related conditions are caused by variants in multiple genes. We analyzed 456 Russian patients using a 23‐gene panel and found disease‐causing variants in non‐PTPN11 genes in 85 cases. NF1, SOS1, BRAF, and SHOC2 explained half of these diagnoses.

Two Novel ACTC1 Variants Cause Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita
We report on two individuals with arthrogryposis multiplex congenita who were heterozygous for ACTC1 missense variants (NM_005159.5; c.325G>A, p.Glu109Lys and c.650A>C, p.Lys217Thr) and provide a characterization of these variants through in vitro studies.

Pediatric cardiomyopathies (CM) are a heterogeneous group of disorders. Their genetic basis remains poorly defined, particularly in children with early‐onset and apparently isolated forms. With a diagnostic yield of 62.7%, our findings suggest that whole‐exome sequencing could improve the diagnosis, genetic counseling, and clinical management of ...

Compound Heterozygote Friedreich Ataxia Patients With Covert Proximal FXN Gene Deletions
ABSTRACT We present Friedreich ataxia patients with frataxin gene deletions. Data and records were collected at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia from patients enrolled in the FACOMS natural history study. Patients with proximal deletions initially diagnosed with only one GAA expanded allele had more severe disease than their homozygous expansion

New Gene Discovery in Familial Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy
Familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a genetic heart disorder which affects 1 in 500 of the population, and can lead to heart failure and sudden death.

In this research article, Mansoor and coworkers present a novel device that applies controlled mechanical stimuli to cardiomyocytes using pressure‐driven membrane deformation. By exposing cells to physiologically and pathologically relevant loading conditions, the platform reproduces distinct structural, functional and molecular responses associated ...

Intermittent fasting reshapes the gut microbiota in diabetic cardiomyopathy, restoring Akkermansia muciniphila and the microbiota‐associated metabolite 1‐methyl‐L‐histidine. This shift is linked to improved cardiac lipid homeostasis, reduced lipid peroxidation, and attenuated myocardial injury, highlighting a gut microbiota–metabolite–lipid axis in ...

A Novel Pak1 Activator Ameliorates ER Stress for HFpEF Therapy
Chronic metabolic stress is a major contributor to HFpEF progression. Under prolonged metabolic stress, Pak1 activity becomes impaired, contributing to disrupted ER proteostasis, cardiomyocyte apoptosis, fibrosis, and diastolic dysfunction. Mechanistically, Pak1 overexpression activates the ERK1/2–MNK1–eIF4E signaling axis, promotes translational ...

ABSTRACT U2 small nuclear RNA auxiliary factor 2 (U2AF2) is an essential pre‐mRNA splicing factor involved in the early stages of pre‐mRNA splicing. To date, multiple individuals have been reported with predominantly heterozygous missense variants presenting intellectual disability, speech and motor delays, seizures, hypotonia, and thin or hypoplastic ...

ABSTRACT The protein tyrosine phosphatase family comprises a large number of members. Among them, Src homology 2 (SH2) domain‐containing protein tyrosine phosphatases (commonly referred to as the SHP family). Members of the SHP family regulate multiple signaling pathways by catalyzing the dephosphorylation of substrate proteins, thereby participating ...
