Chromosome 9p terminal deletion in nine Egyptian patients and narrowing of the critical region for trigonocephaly

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2021
Background This study aimed to delineate the clinical phenotype of patients with 9p deletions, pinpoint the chromosomal breakpoints, and identify the critical region for trigonocephaly, which is a frequent finding in 9p terminal deletion.

Reciprocal control of viral infection and phosphoinositide dynamics

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Phosphoinositides, although scarce, regulate key cellular processes, including membrane dynamics and signaling. Viruses exploit these lipids to support their entry, replication, assembly, and egress. The central role of phosphoinositides in infection highlights phosphoinositide metabolism as a promising antiviral target.

Substrate Nucleotide-Determined Non-Templated Addition of Adenine by Taq DNA Polymerase: Implications for PCR-Based Genotyping and Cloning

BioTechniques, 1996
The Applied Biosystems PRISMTM fluorescence-based genotyping system as well as the Invitrogen TA Cloning® vector system are influenced by the tendency of Taq DNA polymerase to add an adenine nucleotide to the 3′ end of PCR products after extension ...

miR-454-3p and miR-194-5p targeting cardiac sarcolemma ion exchange transcripts are potential noninvasive diagnostic biomarkers for childhood dilated cardiomyopathy in Egyptian patients

The Egyptian Heart Journal, 2022
Background Childhood dilated cardiomyopathy (CDCM) is the most common cardiomyopathy in children and it is risk factor to heart failure and sudden death.

Mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation is stimulated by red light irradiation

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Light at different wavelengths has distinct effects on keratinocyte viability and metabolism. UVA light abrogates metabolic fluxes. Blue and green light have no effect on metabolic fluxes, while red light enhanced oxidative phosphorylation by promoting fatty acid oxidation. Keratinocytes are the primary constituents of sunlight‐exposed epidermis.

Vacuolar transport and function of Saccharomyces cerevisiae sterol ester hydrolase Tgl1

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Tgl1, one of yeast sterol ester hydrolases, had been found on the lipid droplets where sterol esters are mainly stored. This study revealed that Tgl1 is transported into the vacuole depending on the ESCRT‐I–III complex, and that it exhibits intra‐vacuolar sterol ester hydrolase activity.

Screening of the SHOX/PAR1 region using MLPA and miRNA expression profiling in a group of Egyptian children with non-syndromic short stature

Egyptian Journal of Medical Human Genetics, 2020
Background Short stature is defined as a body height below the third percentile, based on chronological age, or 2 standard deviations (SD) below the national height standard. The prevalence of short stature is around 2% of children worldwide.

Progressive pulmonary fibrosis in a murine model of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome

Respiratory Research, 2022
Background HPS-1 is a genetic type of Hermansky-Pudlak syndrome (HPS) with highly penetrant pulmonary fibrosis (HPSPF), a restrictive lung disease that is similar to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF).

The role of fibroblast growth factors in cell and cancer metabolism

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Fibroblast growth factor (FGF) signaling regulates crucial signaling cascades that promote cell proliferation, survival, and metabolism. Therefore, FGFs and their receptors are often dysregulated in human diseases, including cancer, to sustain proliferation and rewire metabolism.

Generation of Dual-Color FISH probes targeting 9p21, Xp21, and 17p13.1 loci as diagnostic markers for some genetic disorders and cancer in Egypt

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology
Introduction: The fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) is a very important technique, as it can diagnose many genetic disorders and cancers. Molecular cytogenetic analysis (FISH) can diagnose numerical chromosome aberrations, sex chromosomes ...
