Identification of a DAGLB Mutation in a Non-Chinese Patient with Parkinson's Disease [PDF]
Liu et al. recently reported that biallelic mutations in DAGLB are responsible for autosomal recessive early-onset Parkinson's disease. They identified six patients carrying DAGLB mutations, all of Chinese origin and presenting with typical Parkinson disease.

Identification of a Tumor Specific, Active-Site Mutation in Casein Kinase 1α by Chemical Proteomics. [PDF]
We describe the identification of a novel, tumor-specific missense mutation in the active site of casein kinase 1α (CSNK1A1) using activity-based proteomics.

Recessive mutations in the POLR3A gene cause POLR3-HLD (the second-most-common form of childhood-onset hypomyelinating leukodystrophy), a neurodegenerative disorder featuring deficient cerebral myelin formation. To date, more than 140 POLR3A (NM_007055.3)

Functional Consequences of PRODH Missense Mutations [PDF]
PRODH maps to 22q11 in the region deleted in the velocardiofacial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome (VCFS/DGS) and encodes proline oxidase (POX), a mitochondrial inner-membrane enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the proline degradation pathway. At least 16 PRODH missense mutations have been identified in studies of type I hyperprolinemia (HPI) and ...

Functional analysis reveals driver cooperativity and novel mechanisms in endometrial carcinogenesis
High‐risk endometrial cancer has poor prognosis and is increasing in incidence. However, understanding of the molecular mechanisms which drive this disease is limited.

Missense mutations of human homeoboxes: A review [PDF]
The homeodomain (encoded by the homeobox) is the DNA-binding domain of a large variety of transcriptional regulators involved in controlling cell fate decisions and development. Mutations of homeobox-containing genes cause several diseases in humans. A variety of missense mutations giving rise to human diseases have been described.

Classification of Missense Mutations of Disease Genes [PDF]
Clinical management of individuals found to harbor a mutation at a known disease-susceptibility gene depends on accurate assessment of mutation-specific disease risk. For missense mutations (MMs)-mutations that lead to a single amino acid change in the protein coded by the gene-this poses a particularly challenging problem.

Mutator phenotypes of common polymorphisms and missense mutations in MSH2 [PDF]
Hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) is associated with germline mutations in the DNA mismatch repair gene hMSH2 [1], the human homologue of the Escherichia coli MutS gene. These are mostly nonsense, frameshift or deletion mutations that result in loss of intact protein and complete inactivation of DNA mismatch repair.
