Abstract BACKGROUND The WX gene encodes the granule‐bound starch synthase I or waxy protein, which is the sole enzyme responsible for amylose synthesis in wheat seeds. Wild einkorn wheat (Triticum monococcum L. ssp. aegilopoides Link em. Thell.) could be an important source of variation for this gene. RESULTS This study assessed the WX gene variability

Impact of E‐Beam Sterilization on Bioglass Composite Shape Memory Scaffolds
Electron beam (E‐beam) sterilization is an attractive alternative to conventional methods (e.g., ethylene oxide) to sterilize medical devices such as scaffolds used to heal bone defects. Herein, the impact of E‐beam sterilization on the properties of “self‐fitting” shape memory polymer (SMP) scaffolds prepared from resorbable polyesters and a bioglass ...

Abstract Background Deep brain stimulation (DBS) is effective for Parkinson's disease (PD); however, its efficacy varies with genetic background, such as the GBA1 variant—the causative gene of Gaucher disease—associated with increased PD risk and cognitive decline after subthalamic nucleus (STN)‐DBS.

Compound Heterozygous Structural Variants in Cases with Unsolved PRKN‐Associated Parkinson's Disease
Abstract Background Biallelic mutations in the PRKN gene are a common cause of early‐onset Parkinson's disease (EOPD). In addition to single nucleotide variants, structural variants contribute substantially to the mutational profile of PRKN. A significant portion of patients with EOPD remains genetically unsolved.

Integrating Long‐Read Nanopore Sequencing for Precision Resolution of Genomic Variants in Dystonia
Abstract Background Although many individuals with dystonia present with features indicative of single‐gene etiologies, obtaining definitive genetic diagnoses can be challenging. Objective We assessed the value of nanopore‐based long‐read sequencing (LRS) in achieving molecular clarification of dystonic syndromes.
