Allelic segregation and independent assortment in T. brucei crosses: proof that the genetic system is Mendelian and involves meiosis [PDF]
The genetic system on Trypanosoma brucei has been analysed by generating large numbers of independent progeny clones from two crosses, one between two cloned isolates of Trypanosoma brucei brucei and one between cloned isolates of T. b.

AutoCaSc: Prioritizing candidate genes for neurodevelopmental disorders
Abstract Routine exome sequencing (ES) in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD) remains inconclusive in >50% of the cases. Research analysis of unsolved cases can identify novel candidate genes but is time‐consuming, subjective, and hard to compare between labs.

Soma-to-germline transmission of RNA in mice xenografted with human tumour cells: possible transport by exosomes. [PDF]
Mendelian laws provide the universal founding paradigm for the mechanism of genetic inheritance through which characters are segregated and assorted. In recent years, however, parallel with the rapid growth of epigenetic studies, cases of inheritance ...

Mosaicism in tuberous sclerosis complex: Lowering the threshold for clinical reporting
Abstract Tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is a multi‐system genetic disorder. Most patients have germline mutations in TSC1 or TSC2 but, 10%–15% patients do not have TSC1/TSC2 mutations detected on routine clinical genetic testing. We investigated the contribution of low‐level mosaic TSC1/TSC2 mutations in unsolved sporadic patients and families with ...

Genetics of Childhood Epilepsy
Genetic epilepsies are classified according to the mechanism of inheritance in three major groups: 1) Mendelian idiopathic epilepsies; 2) Non-Mendelian or “complex” epilepsies; and 3) Chromosomal disorders.

Segregation Analysis Suggests That a Genetic Reason May Contribute to "the Dress" Colour Perception. [PDF]
In early 2015, the debate of blue-black and white-gold color perception from "the dress" became an overnight internet phenomenon. According to the vote from the online social network Twitter, more people observed white-gold colors than those who observed

Rare surfactant‐related variants in familial and sporadic pulmonary fibrosis
Abstract The role of constitutional genetic defects in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is increasingly appreciated. Monogenic disorders associated with IPF affect two pathways: telomere maintenance, accounting for approximately 10% of all patients with IPF, and surfactant biology, responsible for 1%–3% of cases and often co‐occurring with lung ...

Ernst Rüdin's Unpublished 1922-1925 Study "Inheritance of Manic-Depressive Insanity": Genetic Research Findings Subordinated to Eugenic Ideology. [PDF]
In the early 20th century, there were few therapeutic options for mental illness and asylum numbers were rising. This pessimistic outlook favoured the rise of the eugenics movement.

Abstract The standardization of variant curation criteria is essential for accurate interpretation of genetic results and clinical care of patients. The variant curation guidelines developed by the American College of Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) and the Association for Molecular Pathology (AMP) in 2015 are widely used but are not gene specific.
