Inhibition of Nonsense-Mediated mRNA Decay by Antisense Morpholino Oligonucleotides Restores Functional Expression of hERG Nonsense and Frameshift Mutations in Long-QT Syndrome

, 2010
Mutations in the human ether-a-go-go-related gene (hERG) cause long-QT syndrome type 2 (LQT2). We previously described a homozygous LQT2 nonsense mutation Q1070X in which the mutant mRNA is degraded by nonsense-mediated mRNA decay (NMD) leading to a ...

Prenatal Diagnosis of MSL2‐Related Ventriculomegaly in Association With an Inherited 15q13 Microduplication

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
We hereby report the first prenatal diagnosis of MSL2‐related pathology, namely ventriculomegaly. Favorable 11‐month follow‐up illustrates the challenges in predicting postnatal outcomes for genetic anomalies linked to recently characterized phenotypes with limited documented cases.

Nanomolar-potency 'co-potentiator' therapy for cystic fibrosis caused by a defined subset of minimal function CFTR mutants. [PDF]

, 2019
Available CFTR modulators provide no therapeutic benefit for cystic fibrosis (CF) caused by many loss-of-function mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) chloride channel, including N1303K. We previously introduced the

CRISPR Activation Reveals the Spliceogenicity of an Intronic NEB Variant in Fetuses With Arthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita 6

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
CRISPR activation of NEB in fibroblasts, followed by RNA‐sequencing, documents spliceogenic effects of a NEB intronic variant. The assay enabled variant reclassification as likely pathogenic, providing molecular diagnosis in fetuses with Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita 6.

The Phenotypic and Genotypic Features of ADAMTSL4‐Related Ocular Disease

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
ADAMTSL4‐related ocular disease tends to present at a younger age and be associated with higher myopia than other forms of ectopia lentis (such as FBN1). A previously reported 20‐bp deletion (c.767_786del) was highly prevalent in this cohort (23/32), and all ectopia lentis et pupillae cases carried this variant. ABSTRACT Pathogenic variants in ADAMTSL4

Expanding the Phenotypic Spectrum Associated With Loss‐of‐Function SMARCA4 Variants to Eye Developmental Anomalies

Clinical Genetics, EarlyView.
This study expands the clinical spectrum of SMARCA4 by describing a novel phenotype in three unrelated individuals with truncating variants. Distinct from Coffin–Siris syndrome and rhabdoid tumor predisposition, this new association is characterized by ocular malformations, specifically microphthalmia and coloboma.

Regulation of PHOX2B gene expression by the long non‐coding natural antisense RNA PHOX2B‐AS1

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
PHOX2B is a transcription factor essential for autonomic nervous system development. We identify and characterize PHOX2B‐AS1, a human long non‐coding antisense transcript at the PHOX2B locus, along with its murine counterpart. Our findings reveal bidirectional transcription and reciprocal regulation: PHOX2B activates PHOX2B‐AS1, whereas PHOX2B‐AS1 ...

D-stem mutation in an essential tRNA increases translation speed at the cost of fidelity.

PLoS Genetics
The efficiency with which aminoacyl-tRNA and GTP-bound translation elongation factor EF-Tu recognizes the A-site codon of the ribosome is dependent on codons and tRNA species present in the polypeptide (P) and exit (E) codon sites.
