Consensus Guidelines for Diagnosis and Management of Pyruvate Dehydrogenase Complex Deficiency
ABSTRACT Primary pyruvate dehydrogenase complex deficiency (PDCD) comprises a group of monogenic disorders caused by pathogenic variants in genes encoding subunits of, or regulatory components affecting, the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex. The clinical phenotype spans a broad continuum, ranging from early onset congenital lactic acidosis to infantile ...

Conformational-Dependent and Independent RNA Binding to the Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein
The interaction between the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) and BC1 RNA has been the subject of controversy. We probed the parameters of RNA binding to FMRP in several ways. Nondenaturing agarose gel analysis showed that BC1 RNA transcripts

The Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein in Circadian Rhythmicity and Memory Consolidation [PDF]
The control of new protein synthesis provides a means to locally regulate the availability of synaptic components necessary for dynamic neuronal processes. The fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP), an RNA-binding translational regulator, is a key player mediating appropriate synaptic protein synthesis in response to neuronal activity levels ...

Clinical and genetic characterization of intellectual disability
This study examines the etiological factors and comorbidities in a large cohort of Finnish patients with intellectual disability. Genetic causes—including chromosomal abnormalities and pathogenic gene variants—were more frequently identified in individuals with moderate to profound intellectual disability.

A Quantitative ELISA Assay for the Fragile X Mental Retardation 1 Protein [PDF]
Non-coding (CGG-repeat) expansions in the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene result in a spectrum of disorders involving altered neurodevelopment (fragile X syndrome), neurodegeneration (late-onset fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome), or primary ovarian insufficiency. While reliable and quantitative assays for the number of CGG repeats

Gender Justice in the Triple Planetary Crisis: A Scoping Review
ABSTRACT Aim To identify and report how gender justice is conceptualised and discussed in contemporary health literature in relation to the Triple Planetary Crisis of climate change, pollution and biodiversity loss, with a particular focus on the experiences of women and gender‐diverse populations, and the representation of nurses and other healthcare ...

Fragile X Mental Retardation Protein in Learning-Related Synaptic Plasticity
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is caused by a lack of the fragile X mental retardation protein (FMRP) due to silencing of the Fmr1 gene. As an RNA binding protein, FMRP is thought to contribute to synaptic plasticity by regulating plasticity-related protein synthesis and other signaling pathways.

ABSTRACT There is a lack of understanding of how research activity in learning disability compares with community research priorities in the United Kingdom, where an estimated 1.5 million people live with a learning disability. Using Down syndrome (DS), Fragile X syndrome (FXS) and Williams syndrome (WS) as model conditions with learning disability, we

Oligomerization properties of fragile-X mental-retardation protein (FMRP) and the fragile-X-related proteins FXR1P and FXR2P [PDF]
The absence of fragile-X mental-retardation protein (FMRP) results in fragile-X syndrome. Two other fragile-X-related (FXR) proteins have been described, FXR1P and FXR2P, which are both very similar in amino acid sequence to FMRP. Interaction between the three proteins as well as with themselves has been demonstrated.

Raman Optical Activity as a Tool to Monitor Polynucleotide Conformation in Solutions
Raman optical activity (ROA) studies of nucleic acids have been hindered by limited computational tools to link the spectra to the structure. The study shows that accurate density functional simulations are possible for model nucleotides, bringing more information about molecular geometry and dynamics in solutions.
