RNA Analysis Uncovers Pathogenic PARN Variant in Dyskeratosis Congenita
Using WGS and RNA analysis, we identified a branch point‐disrupting variant in the PARN gene and elucidated its pathogenic molecular mechanism in a child with atypical dyskeratosis congenita presentation. ABSTRACT Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a rare genetic disorder caused by impaired telomere maintenance, leading to diverse clinical manifestations ...

Atypical features and de novo heterozygous mutations in two siblings with Cockayne syndrome
Background Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder which displays multiorgan dysfunction, especially within the nervous system including psychomotor retardation, cerebral atrophy, microcephaly, cognitive dysfunction, mental ...

Snf2 family ATPases and DExx box helicases:differences and unifying concepts from high-resolution crystal structures [PDF]
Proteins with sequence similarity to the yeast Snf2 protein form a large family of ATPases that act to alter the structure of a diverse range of DNA–protein structures including chromatin. Snf2 family enzymes are related in sequence to DExx box helicases,

Promising Results With NAD Supplementation in Rare Diseases With Premature Aging and DNA Damage
Increased DNA damage leads to increased parylation, causing mitochondrial dysfunction. This happens when DNA repair is defective, for example in known diseases and DNA repair capacity varies between individuals, some being at higher risk for hyperparylation.

A clinical approach to the diagnosis of patients with leukodystrophies and genetic leukoencephelopathies [PDF]
Leukodystrophies (LD) and genetic leukoencephalopathies (gLE) are disorders that result in white matter abnormalities in the central nervous system (CNS).

Accurate identification of the genetic determinants of rare diseases is essential for effective recurrence‐risk management and informed reproductive decision‐making. Although whole‐exome sequencing (WES) and whole‐genome sequencing (WGS) have significantly improved diagnostic capabilities, a subset of affected families still receives no definitive ...

ATM and CDK2 control chromatin remodeler CSB to inhibit RIF1 in DSB repair pathway choice
Cockayne syndrome group B protein (CSB) is a multifunctional chromatin remodeler involved in double-strand break repair. Here the authors investigate the molecular post-translational signals regulating CSB activity.

Cockayne syndrome proteins CSA and CSB maintain mitochondrial homeostasis through NAD+ signaling
Background Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare premature aging disease, most commonly caused by mutations of the genes encoding the CSA or CSB proteins. CS patients display cachectic dwarfism and severe neurological manifestations and have an average life ...
