Mutational analysis of mitochondrial DNA in Brugada syndrome [PDF]
Brugada syndrome (BrS) is a primary electrical disease associated with an increased risk of sudden cardiac death due to ventricular fibrillation. This pathology has nuclear heterogeneous genetic origins, and at present, molecular diagnostic tests on nuclear DNA cover only 30% of BrS patients. The aim of this study was to assess the possible involvement

A System for the Analysis of Yeast Ribosomal DNA Mutations [PDF]
To develop a system for the analysis of eucaryotic ribosomal DNA (rDNA) mutations, we cloned a complete, transcriptionally active rDNA unit from the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae on a centromere-containing yeast plasmid. To distinguish the plasmid-derived ribosomal transcripts from those encoded by the rDNA locus, we inserted a tag of 18 base pairs ...

Mutational processes in cancer preferentially affect binding of particular transcription factors
Protein binding microarrays provide comprehensive information about the DNA binding specificities of transcription factors (TFs), and can be used to quantitatively predict the effects of DNA sequence variation on TF binding.

Background Tobacco smoking is associated with a unique mutational signature in the human cancer genome. It is unclear whether tobacco smoking-altered DNA methylations and gene expressions affect smoking-related mutational signature.

Identification of multiplicatively acting modulatory mutational signatures in cancer
Background A deep understanding of carcinogenesis at the DNA level underpins many advances in cancer prevention and treatment. Mutational signatures provide a breakthrough conceptualisation, as well as an analysis framework, that can be used to build ...

Mutational analysis of the lambda int gene: DNA sequence of dominant mutations [PDF]
We have combined techniques of genetic and physical mapping with rapid DNA sequence analysis to identify the nucleotide change in lambda int mutations. These mutations define two dominant phenotypic classes: (i) recombination that is partially independent of accessory factors, and (ii) inhibition of wild-type Int by missense or nonsense proteins, i.e.,

Sporadic Kindler Syndrome with a novel mutation [PDF]
We report the case of a 28-year-old woman with Kindler syndrome, a rare form of epidermolysis bullosa. Clinically, since childhood, she had widespread pigmentary changes in her skin as well as photosensitivity and fragility of the skin and mucous ...
