Deletions of the derivative chromosome 9 occur at the time of the Philadelphia translocation and provide a powerful and independent prognostic indicator in chronic myeloid leukemia [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is characterized by formation of the BCR-ABL fusion gene, usually as a consequence of the Philadelphia (Ph) translocation between chromosomes 9 and 22.

Advances in the genetics of refractive errors: Contributions from the CREAM consortium
Abstract The Consortium for Refractive Error and Myopia (CREAM) was established in 2011, bringing together an international team of researchers studying more than 30 cohorts. Since its establishment, CREAM has played a pivotal role in research investigating the genetics of myopia and other refractive errors, serving as a key driver of progress in the ...

Lmx1b is required at multiple stages to build expansive serotonergic axon architectures
Formation of long-range axons occurs over multiple stages of morphological maturation. However, the intrinsic transcriptional mechanisms that temporally control different stages of axon projection development are unknown. Here, we addressed this question

Genomic Analysis Identifies Risk Factors in Restless Legs Syndrome. [PDF]
Objective Restless legs syndrome (RLS) is a neurological condition that causes uncomfortable sensations in the legs and an irresistible urge to move them, typically during periods of rest. The genetic basis and pathophysiology of RLS are incompletely understood.

Focal segmental glomerulosclerosis: Molecular genetics and targeted therapies [PDF]
Recent advances show that human focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) is a primary podocytopathy caused by podocyte-specific gene mutations including NPHS1, NPHS2, WT-1, LAMB2, CD2AP, TRPC6, ACTN4 and INF2.

Transcription Factor Lmx1b Negatively Regulates Osteoblast Differentiation and Bone Formation
The LIM-homeodomain transcription factor Lmx1b plays a key role in body pattern formation during development. Although Lmx1b is essential for the normal development of multiple tissues, its regulatory mechanism in bone cells remains unclear. Here, we demonstrated that Lmx1b negatively regulates bone morphogenic protein 2 (BMP2)-induced osteoblast ...

The Homeobox Genes: Classification, Regulation, Biological Functions, and Diseases
Overview of the homeobox gene superfamily and its pathophysiological roles. The homeobox superfamily comprises several major classes, including ANTP, PRD, TALE, LIM, POU, and others. Among these, the HOX clusters (A–D) play critical roles in embryonic development specifically in conferring cellular identity, regulating morphogenesis, and guiding axial ...

Foxa2 and Pet1 Direct and Indirect Synergy Drive Serotonergic Neuronal Differentiation
Neuronal programming by forced expression of transcription factors (TFs) holds promise for clinical applications of regenerative medicine. However, the mechanisms by which TFs coordinate their activities on the genome and control distinct neuronal fates ...

Abstract figure legend During infection, prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) is produced and elicits warmth‐seeking behaviour and involuntary febrile responses by acting on prostaglandin EP3 receptors (EP3Rs) in two distinct brain sites. PGE2 acting on EP3Rs on neurons in the external lateral part of the lateral parabrachial nucleus (LPBel) augments cold sensory ...
