In Vivo Cytoskeletal AMPA Receptor Transport Imaging in C. elegans

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Long‐distance intracellular transport of ionotropic glutamate receptors (iGluRs) is essential for proper excitatory synaptic function underlying learning and memory. Many neuropsychiatric and neurodegenerative conditions have abnormal iGluR transport and trafficking, leading to an intense interest in the mechanisms and factors regulating these

Stop that nonsense!

open access: yeseLife, 2014
Cells can avoid the effects of so-called ‘nonsense’ mutations by several methods, including a newly discovered mechanism driven by microRNA molecules.

Cytoskeleton–Membrane Uncoupling in Duchenne Muscular Dystrophy: Implications for Newborn Screening and Early Protection

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cytoskeleton of striated muscle integrates force transmission, mechanotransduction, and sarcolemmal stability through coordinated networks of sarcomeres, costameres, and intermediate filaments. Together, these systems establish mechanical continuity between the contractile apparatus, the sarcolemma, and the extracellular matrix.

Novel Mutation in the TSC2 Gene Associated with Prenatally Diagnosed Cardiac Rhabdomyomas and Cerebral Tuberous Sclerosis

open access: yesJournal of the Formosan Medical Association, 2006
Cardiac rhabdomyomas are prenatal echocardiographic markers for tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). TSC is caused by mutations in the genes TSC1 and TSC2.

Clinical Functional Assignment of TPMT and NUDT15 Alleles by the Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium Pharmacogene Curation Expert Panel

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
The Clinical Pharmacogenetics Implementation Consortium (CPIC) TPMT/NUDT15 Pharmacogene Curation Expert Panel (PCEP) conducted a comprehensive review of clinical, laboratory, and computational evidence to determine the clinical function assignments for TPMT and NUDT15 star alleles.

The role of Rho GTPases in facial morphogenesis

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
The role of small GTPases, RHOA, RAC1, and CDC42 and pathway mediators is reviewed in the context of embryonic facial development. Lip fusion requires cytoskeletal remodeling during morphogenesis of the facial processes and during lip fusion. Fnm, frontonasal mass; lnp, lateral nasal process; mnp, medial nasal process; mxp, maxillary process; np, nasal

Codon 201Gly Polymorphic Type of the DCC Gene is Related to Disseminated Neuroblastoma

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2001
The deleted in colorectal carcinoma (DCC) gene is a potential tumor- suppressor gene on chromosome 18821.3. The relatively high frequency of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and loss of expression of this gene in neuroblastoma, especially in the advanced ...

Fhod3 in zebrafish supports myofibril stability during growth of embryonic skeletal muscle

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Actin filament organization in cardiomyocytes critically depends on the formin Fhod3, but a role for Fhod3 in skeletal muscle development has not yet been described. Results We demonstrate here that in zebrafish mutated for one of two fhod3 paralog genes, fhod3a, skeletal muscle of the trunk appears normal through 2 days post ...

Zebrafish inversin mutants develop scoliosis in the absence of laterality defects

open access: yesDevelopmental Dynamics, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Human mutations in INVERSIN are associated with nephronophthisis, variable penetrance of situs inversus and congenital heart disease. Inversin has been shown to localize to cilia and many of the patient phenotypes are attributed to disrupted cilia function.

Oligogenic inheritance in epilepsy: A systematic exome‐wide analysis

open access: yesEpilepsia, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective Genetic factors contribute to the majority of epilepsies, but the exact genetic cause remains unknown in most patients. Incomplete penetrance and variable expressivity are frequent, and recent studies showed a burden of deleterious variants in epilepsy genes, suggesting a role for oligogenic inheritance.
