Androgen receptor (AR) is essential for maintaining normal spermatogenesis and male fertility, and its mutation can cause complete or partial androgen insensitivity syndrome (CAIS or PAIS) in patients. We established an induced pluripotent stem cell line

Long QT syndrome type 1 (LQT1) is a genetic cardiac disorder caused by a loss-of-function mutation in the KCNQ1 gene. In this study, we generated a human induced stem cell line (KSCBi015-A) from an LQT1 patient with a heterozygous mutation located in the

Germ line mutations associated with leukemias [PDF]
AbstractSeveral genetic syndromes have long been associated with a predisposition to the development of leukemia, including bone marrow failure syndromes, Down syndrome, and Li Fraumeni syndrome. Recent work has better defined the leukemia risk and outcomes in these syndromes.

Mainstream Tobacco Smoke Causes Paternal Germ-Line DNA Mutation [PDF]
Abstract Despite the presence of known mutagens and carcinogens in cigarette smoke, there is currently no evidence to show that smoking, or exposure to cigarette smoke, can result in heritable genetic mutation. We show that male mice exposed to mainstream tobacco smoke (MTS) exhibit a significant increase in germ-line mutation frequency ...

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal genetic disorder caused by mutation in FBN1 gene, encoding the extracellular matrix protein fibrillin-1. Here, a MFS patient specific iPSC carrying a novel heterozygous mutation (c.7897 T > G) in FBN1 gene was ...

Interpreting the dependence of mutation rates on age and time [PDF]
Mutations can arise from the chance misincorporation of nucleotides during DNA replication or from DNA lesions that are not repaired correctly. We introduce a model that relates the source of mutations to their accumulation with cell divisions, providing
