Sequence changes in predicted promoter elements of STK11/LKB1 are unlikely to contribute to Peutz-Jeghers syndrome [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Background: Germline mutations or large-scale deletions in the coding region and splice sites of STK11/LKB1 do not account for all cases of Peutz-Jeghers syndrome (PJS).

The germline mutational landscape of genitourinary cancers and its indication for prognosis and risk

open access: yesBMC Urology, 2022
Background Germline mutations represent a high risk of hereditary cancers in population. The landscape and characteristics of germline mutations in genitourinary cancer are largely unknown, and their correlation with patient prognosis has not been ...

Germline mutations in the oncogene EZH2 cause Weaver syndrome and increased human height [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
The biological processes controlling human growth are diverse, complex and poorly understood. Genetic factors are important and human height has been shown to be a highly polygenic trait to which common and rare genetic variation contributes.

Transforming growth factor-beta receptor mutations and pulmonary arterial hypertension in childhood [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
BACKGROUND: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a potentially fatal vasculopathy that can develop at any age. Adult-onset disease has previously been associated with mutations in BMPR2 and ALK-1.

SDHA Germline Mutations in SDH-Deficient GISTs: A Current Update [PDF]

open access: yes, 2023
Loss of function of the succinate dehydrogenase complex characterizes 20-40% of all KIT/PDGFRA-negative GIST. Approximately half of SDH-deficient GIST patients lack SDHx mutations and are caused by a hypermethylation of the SDHC promoter, which causes ...
