A novel mutation in the VHL gene in a Chinese family with von Hippel-Lindau disease
Background Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease is an autosomal dominant inherited cancer syndrome, and VHL is identified as a tumor suppressor gene. The main objective of this study was to identify disease-causing mutations in a Chinese family affected with ...

An alternate translation initiation site circumvents an amino-terminal DAX1 nonsense mutation leading to a mild form of X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita [PDF]
Mutations in DAX1 [dosage-sensitive sex reversal-adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) critical region on the X chromosome gene 1; NROB1] cause X-linked AHC, a disease characterized by primary adrenal failure in infancy or childhood and reproductive ...

A Missense Mutation in CHD4 Disrupts Cardiac Development [PDF]
Nearly half of cardiac malformations, the leading cause of infant mortality in the United States, are of unknown etiology. Mutations in the Chromodomain Helicase DNA-binding protein 4 (CHD4), the core catalytic component of the Nucleosome Remodeling and ...

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.

Phenylketonuria missense mutations in the Mediterranean
Two missense mutations have been identified in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) genes of an Italian phenylketonuria (PKU) patient. Both mutations occurred in exon 7 of the PAH gene, resulting in the substitution of Trp for Arg at amino acid 252 (R252W) and of Leu for Pro (P281L) at amino acid 281 of the protein.

Analyzing Effects of Naturally Occurring Missense Mutations [PDF]
Single-point mutation in genome, for example, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) or rare genetic mutation, is the change of a single nucleotide for another in the genome sequence. Some of them will produce an amino acid substitution in the corresponding protein sequence (missense mutations); others will not.
