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.

Muller's ratchet and mutational meltdowns [PDF]
We extend our earlier work on the role of deleterious mutations in the extinction of obligately asexual populations. First, we develop analytical models for mutation accumulation that obviate the need for time-consuming computer simulations in certain ...

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 ...

Phenocopies in melanoma-prone families with germ-line CDKN2A mutations [PDF]
Carriers of CDKN2A mutations have high risks of melanoma and certain other cancers. In this study we examined the occurrence of tumors among CDKN2A wild type (wt) members of melanoma-prone families with CDKN2A mutations.Swedish and US melanoma-prone families with CDKN2A mutations were included.

Maternal age effect and severe germ-line bottleneck in the inheritance of human mitochondrial DNA [PDF]
The manifestation of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) diseases depends on the frequency of heteroplasmy (the presence of several alleles in an individual), yet its transmission across generations cannot be readily predicted owing to a lack of data on the size ...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy type 5 (ARVC-5) is a dominantly inherited cardiomyopathy caused by the mutation TMEM43-p.S358L. An induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (HDZi001-A) from an adult male mutation carrier was generated ...

We have generated an iPSCs line (CTGUi001-A) from dermal fibroblasts of a 16-year-old male Fabry disease patient with a novel GLA gene mutation (c.156C > A) using Sendai virus encoding the four Yamanaka factors OCT4, SOX2, KLF4, and c-MYC. The CTGUi001-A
