Large‐scale Whole‐Exome Sequencing Defines the Protein‐Coding Architecture of Retinal Structure, Visual Function, and Major Blinding Diseases

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Large‐scale whole‐exome sequencing in 356,982 UK Biobank participants defines the protein‐coding architecture of retinal structure, visual function, and major blinding diseases. Pleiotropic genes, including CFI, C3, and RIOX1, bridge multiple retinal phenotypes, while experimental validation of FYB2 implicates RPE barrier dysfunction, providing ...

Studies on muscular dystrophy associated genes [PDF]

, 2007
Muscular dystrophy is a collective group of genetic disorder that results in progressive wasting of skeletal muscle. Dysferlin, the gene responsible for Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy type 2B (LGMD2B) and Miyoshi Myopathy (MM) was found to be a member of

Ciliary Membrane Lipid Homeostasis in Health and Disease

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This review systematically delineates the distinct lipid landscapes of ciliary membranes, including the spatial organization of phosphoinositides, cholesterol, and sphingolipids. It elucidates how these lipids orchestrate ciliogenesis, signal transduction, and membrane dynamics in cilia beating, and highlights how their dysregulation drives ...

A Rare Form of Microcephalic Primordial Dwarfism due to NSMCE2 Deficiency (Seckel Syndrome Type 10): A Report of Macular Involvement

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biallelic variants in NSMCE2 (MMS21), which encodes the SUMO E3 ligase subunit of the SMC5/6 chromatin‐maintenance complex, have recently been implicated in microcephalic primordial dwarfism (MPD), corresponding to Seckel syndrome type 10 (OMIM #617246).

Genetic sequencing of children with malrotation and midgut volvulus: A cross‐sectional study

JPGN Reports, EarlyView.
Abstract Objectives Intestinal malrotation with midgut volvulus can cause a particularly severe form of pediatric intestinal failure and is often a cause of ultra‐short bowel syndrome (SBS), with longer dependence on parenteral nutrition. While malrotation can be found in several genetic syndromes, most occurrences of this condition are not associated ...

Genetic analysis of limb girdle muscular dystrophy and Miyoshi myopathy [PDF]

, 2003
The autosomal recessive muscular dystrophies encompass limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) and Miyoshi myopathy (MM), which can show clinical and genetic overlap.

Linker molecules between laminins and dystroglycan ameliorate laminin-alpha2-deficient muscular dystrophy at all disease stages [PDF]

, 2007
Mutations in laminin-alpha2 cause a severe congenital muscular dystrophy, called MDC1A. The two main receptors that interact with laminin-alpha2 are dystroglycan and alpha7beta1 integrin.

Protein Glutamylation: From Cytoskeleton to Signaling

Med Research, EarlyView.
Tubulin glutamylation, γ‐glutamylation, and nontubulin glutamylation are distinct yet interconnected post‐translational modifications that regulate diverse physiological and pathological processes, including cytoskeletal organization, cell cycle progression, immunity, metabolism, and disease development.
