Identifying mRNA targets of microRNA dysregulated in cancer: with application to clear cell Renal Cell Carcinoma [PDF]
BACKGROUND. MicroRNA regulate mRNA levels in a tissue specific way, either by inducing degradation of the transcript or by inhibiting translation or transcription.

KCNJ16 associated Hypokalaemic Tubulopathy and Deafness presenting with Sudden Cardiac Arrest.
Abstract Inwardly rectifying potassium channels (Kir) allow potassium (K+) to easily move into cells. They are implicated in several diverse physiological processes throughout the body. KCNJ16 associated tubulopathy and deafness affects a subset of Kir transport channels.

Potential and pitfalls in the genetic diagnosis of kidney diseases [PDF]
Next-generation sequencing has dramatically decreased the cost of gene sequencing, facilitating the simultaneous analysis of multiple genes at the same time; obtaining a genetic result for an individual patient has become much easier.

The first whole genome and transcriptome of the cinereous vulture reveals adaptation in the gastric and immune defense systems and possible convergent evolution between the Old and New World vultures [PDF]
Background: The cinereous vulture, Aegypius monachus, is the largest bird of prey and plays a key role in the ecosystem by removing carcasses, thus preventing the spread of diseases. Its feeding habits force it to cope with constant exposure to pathogens,

Impaired CO2 sensitivity of astrocytes in a mouse model of Rett syndrome [PDF]
Rett syndrome is a prototypical neurological disorder characterised by abnormal breathing pattern and reduced ventilatory CO2 sensitivity. Medullary astrocytes are a crucial component of central CO2 /pH chemosensitivity.

Genome-wide analyses implicate 33 loci in heritable dog osteosarcoma, including regulatory variants near CDKN2A/B [PDF]
Background: Canine osteosarcoma is clinically nearly identical to the human disease, but is common and highly heritable, making genetic dissection feasible.

Founder mutation in KCNJ10 in Pakistani patients with EAST syndrome. [PDF]
BACKGROUND: EAST syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by loss-of-function mutations in the gene KCNJ10. Among the 14 pathogenic mutations described so far, the p.R65P mutation stands out as the most frequent one and is particularly ...
