Intermediate Filament Protein BFSP2 Controls Spindle Formation via HSC70‐Mediated Stabilization of CLTC During Oocyte meiosis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Meiosis is a specialized form of cell division that has different regulation and mechanisms with mitosis in numerous aspects. Particularly, meiosis I is unique and occurs only in germ cells to separate homologous chromosomes. Thus, determining how this unusual chromosome segregation behavior is established is central to understanding germ cell ...

Long‐Read Whole‐Genome Sequencing Uncovers a Deletion Upstream to HOXD13 Causing Synpolydactyly

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Synpolydactyly (SPD) is a heterogeneous distal‐limb malformation syndrome, characterized by webbing and duplication of adjacent digits. SPD1, the most common type, is attributed to disease‐causing variants in HOXD13, a transcription factor in the HOXD cluster that is essential for limb development. Here, we present a challenging exome‐negative

A Splice‐Region Variant Causes an Atypical Presentation of GNAS Inactivation Disorder

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in GNAS can cause a wide range of diseases including pseudohypoparathyroidism, pseudopseudohypoparathyroidism, McCune‐Albright syndrome, among others. The specific phenotypic features that may be seen are influenced by the variant type and location in the gene, whether it causes loss or gain of function, and whether it is ...

Mitotic Spindle Disruption by Alternating Electric Fields Leads to Improper Chromosome Segregation and Mitotic Catastrophe in Cancer Cells

Scientific Reports, 2015
Tumor Treating Fields (TTFields) are low intensity, intermediate frequency, alternating electric fields. TTFields are a unique anti-mitotic treatment modality delivered in a continuous, noninvasive manner to the region of a tumor.

Chromosome 3q22.2‐q26.2 Interstitial Deletion in a Patient With Wisconsin Syndrome, Blepharophimosis‐Ptosis‐Epicanthus Inversus Syndrome, Dandy‐Walker Malformation, Pierre Robin Sequence, and Recurrent Infections

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wisconsin syndrome is a very rare genetic condition characterized by coarse facies, prominent nasal tip, bushy high arched/upsweeping eyebrows, and a full/everted lower lip. Deletion of chromosome 3q24q25 region is considered critical for its manifestation.

Axial contraction and short-range compaction of chromatin synergistically promote mitotic chromosome condensation

eLife, 2015
The segregation of eukaryotic chromosomes during mitosis requires their extensive folding into units of manageable size for the mitotic spindle. Here, we report on how phosphorylation at serine 10 of histone H3 (H3 S10) contributes to this process. Using

“Genome-wide recombination and chromosome segregation in human oocytes and embryos reveal selection for maternal recombination rates”

Nature Genetics, 2015
Crossover recombination reshuffles genes and prevents errors in segregation that lead to extra or missing chromosomes (aneuploidy) in human eggs, a major cause of pregnancy failure and congenital disorders. Here we generate genome-wide maps of crossovers

AP2M1 Is a Candidate Gene for Microcephaly and Intellectual Disability in 3q27.1 Deletions

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Deletions of the 3q26.33q27.2 region appear to correlate with a distinct phenotype, although there are few reported cases. Here, we present seven previously unreported individuals carrying de novo 3q27 deletions (under 5 Mb), which include the AP2M1 (adaptor‐related protein complex 2, mu‐1 subunit) gene and summarize data from 12 previously ...

Identification of a Second‐Hit Brain Somatic DEPDC5 Variant Supports Causality of a DEPDC5 Germline Variant of Uncertain Significance. Time for a Classification Update?

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Germline variants in DEPDC5 are a cause of familial focal epilepsy with variable foci. Affected individuals may have focal cortical dysplasia if a second brain somatic variant occurs. As access to brain tissue is limited, the second somatic hit in the brain is usually presumed if a clear pathogenic germline variant is present. Here, we present
