A Novel UPF1 Variant Associated With a Rare UPF1‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder
Nonsense‐mediated mRNA decay (NMD) plays a crucial role in degrading aberrant transcripts with premature termination codons, and aberrant NMD has been linked to neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD). A key player of NMD is UPF1, which is a helicase. Including the current patient, only four individuals with NDD and UPF1 variants have been reported in the ...

The effect of varying glucose levels on the ex vivo crystalline lens: implications for hyperglycaemia-induced refractive changes [PDF]
Purpose: Refractive changes in diabetic eyes have long been reported but with equivocal results. The lens has been a more recent focus as the source of any change but it is possible that multiple sources of variation have made it difficult to demonstrate
