Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the leading cause of nephrotic syndrome in adults. We previously reported that the prevalence of phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)- and thrombospondin type 1 domain containing 7A (THSD7A)-associated MN patients in Japan is ...

Genomic Organization and Promoter Structure of the Human EXT1 Gene
Hereditary predisposition to multiple exostoses is a genetically heterogeneous disease. Recently, we have reported the identification of the EXT1 gene on human chromosome 8. We have now isolated a cDNA clone from a human adult lung cDNA library and have determined the genomic organization and promoter structure of the EXT1 gene. The gene is composed of

Human Proteoglycan Linkage Region Glycosyltransferases are Dimeric and Show Unexpected Specificities
Non‐canonical glycopeptides of the proteoglycan linkage region are accessible by the enzymes B3GalT6 and GlcAT‐1 confirming a recently discovered rescue mode in glycosaminoglycan (GAG) biosynthesis. The crystal structure of B3GalT6 revealed a covalent dimer linked by a disulfide. Abstract We selected the N,O‐glycosylated proteoglycan bikunin as a model

Cytoskeletal Abnormalities in Chondrocytes with EXT1 and EXT2 Mutations [PDF]
Abstract The EXT genes are a group of putative tumor suppressor genes that previously have been shown to participate in the development of hereditary multiple exostoses (HME), HME-associated and isolated chondrosarcomas. Two HME disease genes, EXT1 and EXT2, have been identified and are expressed ubiquitously.

Role of EXT1 and Glycosaminoglycans in the Early Stage of Filovirus Entry [PDF]
ABSTRACT Filoviruses, including both Ebola virus (EBOV) and Marburg virus (MARV), can infect humans and other animals, causing hemorrhagic fever with a high mortality rate. Entry of these viruses into the host is mediated by a single filoviral glycoprotein (GP).

Background Osteochondromas (cartilage-capped bone tumors) are by far the most commonly treated of all primary benign bone tumors (50%). In 15% of cases, these tumors occur in the context of a hereditary syndrome called multiple osteochondromas (MO), an ...

This study found that parent internalising symptoms predicted internalising symptoms in younger children, with no evidence of child‐driven effects. Among adolescents, mental health symptoms showed bidirectional associations with parent internalising symptoms, particularly for externalising symptoms.
