CRPPA exon 6–9 deletion as a founder mutation in Chinese patients with dystroglycanopathy
Analysis of sixteen Chinese dystroglycanopathy patients reveals a founder mutation (CRPPA exon 6–9 deletion) in 25% of cases and expands the phenotypic spectrum from severe muscle‐eye‐brain disease to limb‐girdle muscular dystrophy. ABSTRACT Importance Dystroglycanopathies (DGPs) are a group of muscular dystrophies with abnormal glycosylation of ...

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