Survey of functional Mendelian variants in New Zealand Huntaway and Heading dog breeds [PDF]
Abstract New Zealand (NZ) Huntaway and Heading dogs are working breeds that play active roles on farms across NZ. While these breeds are common in NZ, they are not well‐known elsewhere, and little is understood about their genetic make‐up. Here, we used whole genome sequencing to provide a comprehensive genomic view of 249 working dogs. As first use of

Satellite glial GPR37L1 and its ligand maresin 1 regulate potassium channel signaling and pain homeostasis [PDF]
G protein–coupled receptor 37-like 1 (GPR37L1) is an orphan GPCR with largely unknown functions. Here, we report that Gpr37l1/GRP37L1 ranks among the most highly expressed GPCR transcripts in mouse and human dorsal root ganglia (DRGs) and is selectively ...

Loss of KCNJ10 protein expression abolishes endocochlear potential and causes deafness in Pendred syndrome mouse model [PDF]
Background Pendred syndrome, a common autosomal-recessive disorder characterized by congenital deafness and goiter, is caused by mutations of SLC26A4, which codes for pendrin.

Bioinformatic analysis of missense SNPs in the KCNJ10 gene associated with neurological disorders
Background Neurological disorders demonstrate significant heterogeneity influenced by genetic factors such as single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). The KCNJ10 gene plays an essential role in potassium ion homeostasis in various cell types, especially ...

KCNJ10 Mutations Display Differential Sensitivity to Heteromerisation with KCNJ16 [PDF]
<b><i>Background/Aims:</i></b> Mutations in the inwardly-rectifying K<sup>+</sup>-channel KCNJ10/Kir4.1 cause autosomal recessive EAST syndrome (epilepsy, ataxia, sensorineural deafness and tubulopathy). KCNJ10 is expressed in the distal convoluted tubule of the kidney, stria vascularis of the inner ear and brain ...

Epilepsy, Ataxia, Sensorineural Deafness, Tubulopathy, and KCNJ10 Mutations [PDF]
Five children from two consanguineous families presented with epilepsy beginning in infancy and severe ataxia, moderate sensorineural deafness, and a renal salt-losing tubulopathy with normotensive hypokalemic metabolic alkalosis. We investigated the genetic basis of this autosomal recessive disease, which we call the EAST syndrome (the presence of ...

Molecular Mechanisms of EAST/SeSAME Syndrome Mutations in Kir4.1 (KCNJ10) [PDF]
Inwardly rectifying potassium channel Kir4.1 is critical for glial function, control of neuronal excitability, and systemic K(+) homeostasis. Novel mutations in Kir4.1 have been associated with EAST/SeSAME syndrome, characterized by mental retardation, ataxia, seizures, hearing loss, and renal salt waste.

Development of the stria vascularis and potassium regulation in the human fetal cochlea : insights into hereditary sensorineural hearing loss [PDF]
Sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL) is one of the most common congenital disorders in humans, afflicting one in every thousand newborns. The majority is of heritable origin and can be divided in syndromic and nonsyndromic forms. Knowledge of the expression
