Yeast Homologues of Three BLOC-1 Subunits Highlight KxDL Proteins As Conserved Interactors of BLOC-1. [PDF]
Biogenesis of lysosome-related organelle complex-1 (BLOC-1) is one of the four multi-subunit complexes implicated in sorting cargo to lysosome-related organelles, as loss of function of any of these complexes causes Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome.

A Case Report of Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome
Background & aim: Hermansky-Podlock Syndrome (HPS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused by major defects in protein trafficking. HPS is characterized by ocular cutaneous albinism, the absence of dense platelet granules, and the resulting bleeding

Assessment of a targeted resequencing assay as a support tool in the diagnosis of lysosomal storage disorders [PDF]
BACKGROUND: With over 50 different disorders and a combined incidence of up to 1/3000 births, lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) constitute a major public health problem and place an enormous burden on affected individuals and their families.

Summary Vitiligo is a common pigment disorder of the skin resulting in destruction of melanocytes. Non‐segmental vitiligo (NSV) is an autoimmune disorder. The etiopathogenesis of segmental vitiligo (SV) remains incompletely understood. Genetic predisposition and increased vulnerability of melanocytes towards stressors lead to a melanocyte‐specific CD8+

Functional and molecular characterization of inherited platelet disorders in the Iberian Peninsula: results from a collaborative study [PDF]
BACKGROUND: The diagnostic evaluation of inherited platelet disorders (IPDs) is complicated and time-consuming, resulting in a relevant number of undiagnosed and incorrectly classified patients.

Bleeding Disorders in Children With Genetic Diseases: A Narrative Review
ABSTRACT Aim The lack of data on bleeding risk assessment in children with genetic diseases is concerning given their increased care needs and risk of haemorrhagic complications compared to the general population. Identification of haemostatic disorders is crucial for implementing preventive measures and mitigating bleeding risk.

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.

Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome-2 Alters Mitochondrial Homeostasis in the Alveolar Epithelium of the Lung [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Mitochondrial dysfunction has emerged as an important player in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), a common cause of idiopathic interstitial lung disease in adults.
