Laminin β2 gene missense mutation produces endoplasmic reticulum stress in podocytes.

Journal of the American Society of Nephrology, 2013
Mutations in the laminin β2 gene (LAMB2) cause Pierson syndrome, a severe congenital nephrotic syndrome with ocular and neurologic defects. LAMB2 is a component of the laminin-521 (α5β2γ1) trimer, an important constituent of the glomerular basement ...

Exploring AAV‐Mediated Gene Therapy for Inner Ear Diseases: from Preclinical Success to Clinical Potential

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Current preclinical studies of AAV‐mediated gene therapy explore different strategies based on the characteristics of inner ear diseases. For genetic hearing loss, approaches include the replacement of a “good gene,” removal of a “bad gene,” or direct correction of mutations through base editing.

Von Willebrand Disease [PDF]

, 2017
Von Willebrand Disease (VWD) is a blood clotting disorder characterized by low levels of the Von Willebrand Factor (VWF) in the blood. VWF is functions to bind platelets and promote clotting of the blood when vascular injury occurs.

A Novel Autosomal Recessive GJA1 Missense Mutation Linked to Craniometaphyseal Dysplasia

PLoS ONE, 2013
Craniometaphyseal dysplasia (CMD) is a rare sclerosing skeletal disorder with progressive hyperostosis of craniofacial bones. CMD can be inherited in an autosomal dominant (AD) trait or occur after de novo mutations in the pyrophosphate transporter ANKH.

A novel missense mutation (FGG c.1168G > T) in the gamma chain of fibrinogen causing congenital hypodysfibrinogenemia with bleeding phenotype

Hereditas
Background Fibrinogen plays pivotal roles in multiple biological processes. Genetic mutation of the fibrinogen coding genes can result in congenital fibrinogen disorders (CFDs).

NOX2 Contributes to High‐Frequency Outer Hair Cell Vulnerability in the Cochlea

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
This study first identifies NOX2 as a differentially expressed gene related to oxidative damage in the apical and basal turns through single‐cell RNA sequencing. NOX2 gene knockout mitigates OHCs damage caused by neomycin and noise and enhances Nrf2 expression and nuclear translocation.

The prognostic value of TP53 mutations in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

BMC Cancer, 2017
Background TP53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancers. Previous studies reported that TP53 mutations correlated with poor prognoses in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Acod1 Promotes PAD4 Ubiquitination via UBR5 Alkylation to Modulate NETosis and Exert Protective Effects in Sepsis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
In this study, Acod1 knockout in CLP mice significantly increases peripheral blood NET levels, exacerbating inflammation, organ damage, and reducing survival. Further research shows that UBR5 interacts with PAD4, a key NET formation protein. Acod1/itaconate (ITA) enhances the enzymatic activity of UBR5 by alkylating the Cys2768 site, promoting the K48 ...
