Novel Splice Site Pathogenic Variant of EFTUD2 Is Associated with Mandibulofacial Dysostosis with Microcephaly and Extracranial Symptoms in Korea [PDF]
Elongation factor Tu guanosine-5’-triphosphate (GTP) binding domain containing 2 (EFTUD2) encodes a major component of the spliceosomal GTPase and, if mutated, causes mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM; MIM#610536). Despite the increasing

Atypical mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly diagnosed through the identification of a novel pathogenic mutation in EFTUD2 [PDF]
Background Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM, OMIM# 610536) is a rare monogenic disease that is caused by a mutation in the elongation factor Tu GTP binding domain containing 2 gene (EFTUD2, OMIM* 603892).

High RIG-I and EFTUD2 expression predicts poor survival in endometrial cancer [PDF]
Abstract Purpose Endometrial cancer is the most common gynecological malignancy. The helicase RIG-I, a part of the innate immune system, and EFTUD2, a splicing factor which can upregulate RIG-I expression, are shown to influence tumor growth and disease progression in several malignancies.

PROM1 and EFTUD2 Expression in High-Grade Clear Cell Renal Cell Carcinoma as a Molecular Marker for Survival Rate [PDF]
Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is a significant global cancer, particularly impacting individuals in Western countries. Despite that, the molecular mechanisms driving renal cell carcinoma progression remain poorly understood, highlighting the ...

EFTUD2 haploinsufficiency leads to syndromic oesophageal atresia
Background: Oesophageal atresia (OA) and mandibulofacial dysostosis (MFD) are two congenital malformations for which the molecular bases of syndromic forms are being identified at a rapid rate. In particular, the EFTUD2 gene encoding a protein of the spliceosome complex has been found mutated in patients with MFD ...

Haploinsufficiency of a Spliceosomal GTPase Encoded by EFTUD2 Causes Mandibulofacial Dysostosis with Microcephaly [PDF]
Mandibulofacial dysostosis with microcephaly (MFDM) is a rare sporadic syndrome comprising craniofacial malformations, microcephaly, developmental delay, and a recognizable dysmorphic appearance. Major sequelae, including choanal atresia, sensorineural hearing loss, and cleft palate, each occur in a significant proportion of affected individuals.

EFTUD2 missense variants disrupt protein function and splicing in mandibulofacial dysostosis Guion‐Almeida type [PDF]
Pathogenic variants in the core spliceosome U5 small nuclear ribonucleoprotein gene EFTUD2/SNU114 cause the craniofacial disorder mandibulofacial dysostosis Guion-Almeida type (MFDGA). MFDGA-associated variants in EFTUD2 comprise large deletions encompassing EFTUD2, intragenic deletions and single nucleotide truncating or missense variants.

Spliceosomal protein eftud2 mutation leads to p53-dependent apoptosis in zebrafish neural progenitors [PDF]
Haploinsufficiency of EFTUD2 (Elongation Factor Tu GTP Binding Domain Containing 2) is linked to human mandibulofacial dysostosis, Guion-Almeida type (MFDGA), but the underlying cellular and molecular mechanisms remain to be addressed. We report here the isolation, cloning and functional analysis of the mutated eftud2 (snu114) in a novel neuronal ...
