Deep‐Intronic Variant in RUNX2 Causing Pseudo‐Exon Inclusion in a Family With Cleidocranial Dysplasia

open access: yesClinical Genetics, EarlyView.
A deep‐intronic single nucleotide variant in RUNX2 causes the characteristic clinical features of cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD) in a family via pseudo‐exon inclusion into the mRNA. The pseudo‐exon contains a premature stop codon and triggers mRNA decay, which results in RUNX2 haploinsufficiency, the known disease mechanism.

New and emerging technologies for the treatment of inherited retinal diseases: a horizon scanning review. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The horizon scanning review aimed to identify new and emerging technologies in development that have the potential to slow or stop disease progression and/or reverse sight loss in people with inherited retinal diseases (IRDs).

Comprehensive Rare Variant Analysis via Whole-Genome Sequencing to Determine the Molecular Pathology of Inherited Retinal Disease [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Inherited retinal disease is a common cause of visual impairment and represents a highly heterogeneous group of conditions. Here, we present findings from a cohort of 722 individuals with inherited retinal disease, who have had whole-genome sequencing (n

Roles of ER Membrane Protein Complex in Protein Biogenesis and Quality Control in the Lung and Beyond

open access: yesCell Proliferation, EarlyView.
The endoplasmic reticulum membrane protein complex (EMC) is an evolutionarily conserved, multi‐subunit transmembrane protein complex crucial to membrane protein biogenesis and cellular protein quality control. This review systematically examines the structure, functions and disease‐associated regulatory mechanisms of EMC across multiple organ systems ...

Characterization of CRB1 splicing in retinal organoids derived from a patient with adult‐onset rod‐cone dystrophy caused by the c.1892A>G and c.2548G>A variants

open access: yesMolecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background Mutations in the human crumbs homologue 1 (CRB1) gene are associated with a spectrum of inherited retinal diseases. However, functional studies demonstrating the impact of individual CRB1 mutations on gene expression are lacking for most ...

iPS Cells for Modelling and Treatment of Retinal Diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
For many decades, we have relied on immortalised retinal cell lines, histology of enucleated human eyes, animal models, clinical observation, genetic studies and human clinical trials to learn more about the pathogenesis of retinal diseases and explore ...

Management of inherited outer retinal dystrophies: present and future [PDF]

open access: yesBritish Journal of Ophthalmology, 1999
The inherited outer retinal dystrophies comprise a large number of disorders characterised by a slow and progressive retinal degeneration. They have been arbitrarily divided into macular dystrophies, retinitis pigmentosa (RP), and cone/rod dystrophies on the basis of their phenotype.

Setmelanotide in Bardet‐Biedl Syndrome: A Case Report

open access: yesPediatric Dermatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Setmelanotide is a melanocortin‐4‐receptor agonist used for the treatment of hyperphagia in the genetic obesity syndrome Bardet‐Biedl. Presented is a case of diffuse hyperpigmentation in a patient treated with setmelanotide, which represents the most common side effect of this medication.
