Generation of Hermansky Pudlak syndrome type 2 (HPS2) induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs)
Hermansky–Pudlak syndrome type 2 (HPS2) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder resulting from functional mutations in the adaptor-related protein complex 3, beta 1 subunit (AP3B1) gene.

Genome-wide screening of mouse knockouts reveals novel genes required for normal integumentary and oculocutaneous structure and function. [PDF]
Oculocutaneous syndromes are often due to mutations in single genes. In some cases, mouse models for these diseases exist in spontaneously occurring mutations, or in mice resulting from forward mutatagenesis screens.

Genetic Pigmentary Disorders: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Manifestations
ABSTRACT Genetic pigmentary disorders represent a diverse group of genetic conditions characterized by alterations in melanin production and transport and melanocyte development, resulting from single‐gene pathological variants. These disorders encompass both hypopigmentary and hyperpigmentary phenotypes, affecting not only skin pigmentation but also ...

Use of next-generation sequencing and candidate gene analysis to identify underlying defects in patients with inherited platelet function disorders [PDF]
Background: Inherited platelet function disorders (PFDs) are heterogeneous, and identification of the underlying genetic defects is difficult when based solely on phenotypic and clinical features of the patient. Objective: To analyze 329 genes regulating

Tissue‐Resident Myeloid and Histiocytic Cells in Health and Disease: Novel Emerging Concepts
ABSTRACT Although all myeloid cells are considered to derive from hematopoietic stem cells, the cells in each myeloid lineage are heterogeneous populations, and their distribution and functions vary, depending on underlying physiologic and pathologic processes, age, sex, and genetic and epigenetic signatures.

The morphodynamical plasticity of the endolysosomal system supports the formation and function of specialized intracellular compartments, as exemplified by the pigment organelles in skin cells. In epidermal melanocytes and keratinocytes, membrane trafficking and remodeling coordinate tissue pigmentation and protect the genome from photodamage ...
