A missense mutation in PDHB gene: identification of the patient with pyruvate dehydrogenase deficiency and demonstration of pathogenicity in vitro [PDF]
Background Pyruvate dehydrogenase (PDH) deficiency is an uncommon condition responsible for primary refractory lactic acidosis, and PDH E1β (PDHB) subunit gene mutation rarely causes of PDH deficiency.

Two Frequent Missense Mutations in Pendred Syndrome [PDF]
Pendred syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early childhood deafness and goiter. A century after its recognition as a syndrome by Vaughan Pendred, the disease gene ( PDS ) was mapped to chromosome 7q22-q31.1 and, recently, found to encode a putative sulfate transporter. We performed mutation analysis of the PDS gene in patients

A missense mutation in Lama3 causes androgen alopecia. [PDF]
AbstractHair loss disorders such as androgenetic alopecia have caused serious disturbances to normal human life. Animal models play an important role in exploring pathogenesis of disease and evaluating new therapies. NIH hairless mice are a spontaneous hairless mouse discovered and bred in our laboratory.

ThermoMutDB: a thermodynamic database for missense mutations [PDF]
Abstract Proteins are intricate, dynamic structures, and small changes in their amino acid sequences can lead to large effects on their folding, stability and dynamics. To facilitate the further development and evaluation of methods to predict these changes, we have developed ThermoMutDB, a manually curated database containing >14,

Packpred: Predicting the functional effect of missense mutations [PDF]
1.AbstractPredicting the functional consequences of single point mutations has relevance to protein function annotation and to clinical analysis/diagnosis. We developed and tested Packpred that makes use of a multi-body clique statistical potential in combination with a depth dependent amino acid substitution matrix (FADHM) and positional Shannon ...

Missense mutations in DYT-TOR1A dystonia [PDF]
DYT-TOR1A dystonia is caused by dominant mutations in the TOR1A gene, most frequently a heterozygous in-frame deletion in exon 5 (c.904_906delGAG; p.302/303delE).1 The most frequent phenotype has childhood onset in a limb, spreading to generalized dystonia within a few years.

Elastin genetic point mutation and the risk of pelvic organ prolapse
Aim: A missense mutation in the elastin gene (g28197A > G) is associated with an increased risk for inguinal hernias. Due to the shared epidemiological and pathophysiological features between pelvic organ prolapse (POP) and inguinal hernias, the authors ...
