Codon Bias and Mutability in HIV Sequences [PDF]
A survey of the patterns of synonymous codon preferences in the HIV env gene reveals a relation between the codon bias and the mutability requirements in different regions in the protein. At hypervariable regions in $gp120$, one finds a greater proportion of codons that tend to mutate non-synonymously, but to a target that is similar in hydrophobicity ...

Suppressors of a UGG missense mutation in Escherichia coli [PDF]
As part of our investigation of tRNA structure-function relationships, we isolated and preliminarily characterized translational suppressors of the tryptophan codon UGG in a trpA missense mutant of Escherichia coli. the parent strain also contained two other mutant alleles relevant to the suppressor search; these were supD, which codes for a serine ...

Structural Investigations into Shwachman Bodian Diamond Syndrome SBDS using a Bioinformatics Approach [PDF]
The functional correlation of missense mutations which cause disease remains a challenge to understanding the basis of genetic diseases. This is particularly true for proteins related to diseases for which there are no available three dimensional structures.

Three Novel Mutations in the NPHS1 Gene in Vietnamese Patients with Congenital Nephrotic Syndrome
Congenital nephrotic syndrome, a rare and severe disease, is inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The disease manifests shortly after birth and occurs predominantly in families of Finnish origin but has now been observed in all countries and races.

Context-Aware Prediction of Pathogenicity of Missense Mutations Involved in Human Disease [PDF]
Amino-acid substitutions are implicated in a wide range of human diseases, many of which are lethal. Distinguishing such mutations from polymorphisms without significant effect on human health is a necessary step in understanding the etiology of such diseases.

KMT2B-related disorders: expansion of the phenotypic spectrum and long-term efficacy of deep brain stimulation [PDF]
Heterozygous mutations in KMT2B are associated with an early-onset, progressive, and often complex dystonia (DYT28). Key characteristics of typical disease include focal motor features at disease presentation, evolving through a caudocranial pattern into generalized dystonia, with prominent oromandibular, laryngeal, and cervical involvement.

The prognostic value of TP53 mutations in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma
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).

Clinical Characteristics of Subjects with a Missense Mutation in Glucokinase
The clinical characteristics of subjects with a missense glucokinase mutation, gly299→arg, were studied in a large pedigree, BX, initially characterized by some members having Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (MODY). Glucose tolerance, beta cell function and insulin sensitivity were measured with Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA) and with a ...
