A novel mutation in the tropomyosin 1 gene in a Chinese patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited heart disease characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy. Although sarcomeric gene mutations can explain many HCM cases, the genetic basis of approximately half of HCM cases remains elusive.

TBK1 mutation spectrum in an extended European patient cohort with frontotemporal dementia and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis [PDF]
We investigated the mutation spectrum of the TANK-Binding Kinase 1 (TBK1) gene and its associated phenotypic spectrum by exonic resequencing of TBK1 in a cohort of 2,538 patients with frontotemporal dementia (FTD), amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), or

Behavioral Phenotypes of Disc1 Missense Mutations in Mice [PDF]
To support the role of DISC1 in human psychiatric disorders, we identified and analyzed two independently derived ENU-induced mutations in Exon 2 of mouse Disc1. Mice with mutation Q31L showed depressive-like behavior with deficits in the forced swim test and other measures that were reversed by the antidepressant bupropion, but not by rolipram, a ...

Population-based estimate of prostate cancer risk for carriers of the HOXB13 missense mutation G84E. [PDF]
The HOXB13 missense mutation G84E (rs138213197) is associated with increased risk of prostate cancer, but the current estimate of increased risk has a wide confidence interval (width of 95% confidence interval (CI) >200-fold) so the point estimate of 20 ...

Hereditary colorectal cancer : assessment of genotype-phenotype correlations and analysis of rare susceptibility genes in familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC) [PDF]
Each year 3500 people in Switzerland are diagnosed with colorectal cancer. Approximately 20 percent of all affected patients have two or more first or second-degree relatives with colorectal cancer (at-risk family members). About five percent of these
