X-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, Arts syndrome, and prelingual non-syndromic deafness form a disease continuum: evidence from a family with a novel PRPS1 mutation

open access: yesOrphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 2014
BackgroundX-linked Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease type 5 (CMTX5), Arts syndrome, and non-syndromic sensorineural deafness (DFN2) are allelic syndromes, caused by reduced activity of phosphoribosylpyrophosphate synthetase 1 (PRS-I) due to loss-of-function ...

Perspectives of carriers of X‐linked retinal diseases on genetic testing and gene therapy: A global survey

open access: yesClinical Genetics, 2023
AbstractFemale carriers of X‐linked inherited retinal diseases (IRDs) are burdened with potentially passing their disease‐causing variant to future generations, as well as exhibiting signs of retinal disease themselves. This study aimed to investigate carriers' experiences of genetic testing, emotions relating to having affected children, and their ...

Pathogenic determinants and mechanisms of ALS/FTD linked to hexanucleotide repeat expansions in the C9orf72 gene. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and frontotemporal dementia (FTD) are two apparently distinct neurodegenerative diseases, the former characterized by selective loss of motor neurons in the brain and spinal cord and the latter characterized by ...

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis of X-linked diseases examined by indirect linkage analysis

open access: yesBratislava Medical Journal, 2015
Many centers of assisted reproduction in the Czech Republic offer preimplantation genetic diagnosis with fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) to couples requiring preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) of X-linked diseases. However, this process results in discarding all male embryos and is not able to distinguish a carrier or healthy female ...

Escape from X Chromosome Inactivation and the Female Predominance in Autoimmune Diseases

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2021
Women represent 80% of people affected by autoimmune diseases. Although, many studies have demonstrated a role for sex hormone receptor signaling, particularly estrogens, in the direct regulation of innate and adaptive components of the immune system ...

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Alopecia areata: a multifactorial autoimmune condition [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Alopecia areata is an autoimmune disease that results in non-scarring hair loss, and it is clinically characterised by small patches of baldness on the scalp and/or around the body. It can later progress to total loss of scalp hair (Alopecia totalis) and/
