Biallelic Variants in the DARS2 Gene as a Novel Cause of Axonal Charcot–Marie–Tooth Disease

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Charcot–Marie–Tooth (CMT) disease is a heterogeneous group of genetic neuropathies, with >90 genes identified. Several aminoacyl‐tRNA synthetases have been linked to CMT. DARS2, encoding the mitochondrial aspartyl‐tRNA synthetase, has been typically associated with leukoencephalopathy with brainstem and spinal cord involvement and lactate ...

Co‐Opting MBNL‐Dependent Alternative Splicing Cassette Exons to Control Gene Therapy in Myotonic Dystrophy

open access: yesAnnals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is a highly variable, multisystemic genetic disorder caused by a CTG repeat expansion in the 3′ untranslated region of DMPK. Toxicity is exerted by repeat‐containing DMPK transcripts that sequester muscleblind‐like (MBNL) proteins and lead to deleterious yet predictable changes in alternative splicing.

Targeting Cryptochromes in Chronic Diseases

open access: yesCell Biology International, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The circadian clock generates 24‐h molecular rhythms through transcription–translation negative feedback loops (TTFLs) and regulates daily physiological processes such as sleep–wake cycles, body temperature, hormone secretion, metabolism, and immune function.

Deleterious c-Cbl Exon Skipping Contributes to Human Glioma

open access: yesNeoplasia: An International Journal for Oncology Research, 2015
c-Cbl, a RING-type ubiquitin E3 ligase, downregulates various receptor tyrosine kinases (e.g., epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR)), leading to inhibition of cell proliferation.

How much dystrophin is enough: the physiological consequences of different levels of dystrophin in the mdx mouse [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Splice modulation therapy has shown great clinical promise in Duchenne muscular dystrophy, resulting in the production of dystrophin protein. Despite this, the relationship between restoring dystrophin to established dystrophic muscle and its ability to ...

Evolving Real‐World Data and Evidence Use for New Drugs and Regenerative Medical Products Approvals in Japan—An Analysis of the 6‐Year Trend

open access: yesClinical Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
Several regulatory initiatives have been made to clarify the acceptability and requirements of real‐world data and real‐world evidence (RWD/E) for the benefit/risk assessment of new medical products in Japan. The objectives of this review were to characterize the use of RWD/E in regulatory applications of new medical products and to describe the ...

The contribution of Alu exons to the human proteome. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
BackgroundAlu elements are major contributors to lineage-specific new exons in primate and human genomes. Recent studies indicate that some Alu exons have high transcript inclusion levels or tissue-specific splicing profiles, and may play important ...

New insights into applications of base editor in hereditary disorders

open access: yesInterdisciplinary Medicine, EarlyView.
Abstract Hereditary disorders are a group of diseases caused by genetic mutations or chromosomal variations. Although the incidence of each genetic disorder is relatively low, patients affected by the disease generally experience a range of severe symptoms, including blindness, disability, and even premature death. In addition, the available treatments

CRISPR/Cas9-mediated genome editing induces exon skipping by alternative splicing or exon deletion

open access: yesGenome Biology, 2017
CRISPR is widely used to disrupt gene function by inducing small insertions and deletions. Here, we show that some single-guide RNAs (sgRNAs) can induce exon skipping or large genomic deletions that delete exons. For example, CRISPR-mediated editing of β-
