Cataract and optic disk drusen in a patient with glycogenosis and di George syndrome: clinical and molecular report [PDF]
Background We report the ophthalmic findings of a patient with type Ia glycogen storage disease (GSD Ia), DiGeorge syndrome (DGS), cataract and optic nerve head drusen (ONHD).

Patellar dysplasia may cause patellar dislocation and osteoarthritis (OA). A novel ABCA6 mutation in a four ‐ generation family is identified. ABCA6 is related to patellar dysplasia and OA progression. Its downregulation correlates with OA onset. ABCA6 regulates chondrogenesis and inhibits joint degeneration via orchestrated cholesterol efflux and ...

LMX1B‐Regulated Nephrogenesis: A Role for Proteoglycans
Lmx1b is a transcription factor necessary for kidney development. In humans, haploinsufficiency causes Nail Patella Syndrome frequently with chronic renal failure. In Lmx1b knockout mice, glomerular basement membrane formation is impaired, blocking filtration, urine production and long term survival.

Generation and characterization of a mouse line for monitoring translation in dopaminergic neurons [PDF]
We developed a mouse line targeting midbrain dopamine neurons for Translating Ribosome Affinity Purification(TRAP). Here, we briefly report on the basic characterization of this mouse line including confirmation of expression of the transgene in midbrain

There are distinct genetic backgrounds among different chicken populations, with commercial breeds showing a higher number of runs of homozygosity compared to indigenous chickens and their wild ancestors. Indigenous chicken ecotypes have runs of homozygosity islands associated with genetic adaptations, including genes related to disease resistance ...

Early dorsomedial tissue interactions regulate gyrification of distal neocortex
The contribution of long-range signaling to cortical gyrification remains poorly understood. In this study, authors demonstrate that the combined genetic loss of transcription factors Lmx1a and Lmx1b, expressed in the telencephalic dorsal midline ...

Neoadjuvant treatment of breast cancer is applied to an increasing extent, but treatment response varies and side effects pose a challenge. The vitamin E isoform delta-tocotrienol might enhance the efficacy of chemotherapy and reduce the risk of side ...

A large multi-ethnic genome-wide association study identifies novel genetic loci for intraocular pressure. [PDF]
Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is a major risk factor for glaucoma, a leading cause of blindness. IOP heritability has been estimated to up to 67%, and to date only 11 IOP loci have been reported, accounting for 1.5% of IOP variability.

We report a patient with biallelic loss of function variants in BMP5 and a syndromic phenotype including ischio‐pubic‐patellar dysostosis, dysmorphism, hypermobility, laryngo‐tracheo‐bronchomalacia, and atrioventricular septal defect. Our findings suggest a new association between BMP5 variants and a range of developmental anomalies, thereby increasing

Primary open-angle glaucoma (POAG) leads to progressive vision loss. Here, Choquet et al. perform genome-wide association analysis for POAG in a multi-ethnic cohort, identify a total of nine novel genetic loci and show relevant function of FMNL2 and ...
