A putative exonic splicing enhancer in exon 7 of thePDHA1 gene affects splicing of adjacent exons [PDF]
A nonsense mutation (c.729C>A, Y243X) in exon 7 of the PDHA1 gene in a patient with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency results in aberrant splicing of the primary transcript with production of stable mRNAs which lack either both exons 6 and 7 or exon 7 alone.

Glutaredoxin (Grx) 3 proteins contain a thioredoxin domain and one to three class II Grx domains. These proteins play a crucial role in iron homeostasis in eukaryotic cells. In human Grx3, at least one of the two Grx domains, together with the thioredoxin domain, is essential for its function in iron metabolism.

Mutations in the PKM2 exon-10 region are associated with reduced allostery and increased nuclear translocation. [PDF]
PKM2 is a key metabolic enzyme central to glucose metabolism and energy expenditure. Multiple stimuli regulate PKM2's activity through allosteric modulation and post-translational modifications.

Patients with exon 19 deletion were associated with longer progression-free survival compared to those with L858R mutation after first-line EGFR-TKIs for advanced non-small cell lung cancer: a meta-analysis. [PDF]
It has been extensively proved that the efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor-tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) is superior to that of cytotoxic chemotherapy in advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) patients harboring sensitive EGFR ...

Tumor microenvironment drives cancer formation and progression. We analyzed the role of human cancer‐associated adipocytes from patients with renal cell carcinoma (RCC) stratified as lean, overweight, or obese. RNA‐seq demonstrated that, among the most altered genes involved in the tumor–stroma crosstalk, are ADAM12 and CYP1B1, which were proven to be ...

Directional Next-Generation RNA Sequencing and Examination of Premature Termination Codon Mutations in Endoglin/Hereditary Haemorrhagic Telangiectasia [PDF]
Hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is a disease characterised by abnormal vascular structures, and most commonly caused by mutations in ENG, ACVRL1 or SMAD4 encoding endothelial cell-expressed proteins involved in TGF-β superfamily signalling ...

Functional Analysis Of The Mutations Of E Cadherin Exon 4-5, Exon 7, Exon 8, Exon 9 And Exon 16 In Sporadic Infiltrating Ductal Carcinoma Of The Breast [PDF]
E-cadherin mutations are a major step in the metastatic progression. Mutated cadherins contributes to different aspects of cancer progression like drug resistance, angiogenesis, cancer cell invasion and metastasis. Thus cadherins can be regarded as a valuable diagnostic and prognostic indicators as well as potential therapeutic targets of cancer ...

Analysis of ESR1 mutations in plasma cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) is highly important for the selection of treatment in patients with breast cancer. Using multiplex‐ddPCR and identical blood draws, we investigated whether circulating tumor cells (CTCs) and cfDNA provide similar or complementary information for ESR1 mutations.
