Background Autosomal dominant inheritance of germline mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) gene are a major risk factor for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). While previous studies demonstrated a difference in severity

A Family with A Missense Mutation in the SCN5A Gene
Brugada syndrome, an autosomal dominantly inherited form of ventricular fibrillation, is characterized by ST- segment elevation in leads V1-3 and right bundle-branch block on surface electrocardiogram. It is caused by mutations in the cardiac sodium channel gene, SCN5A, and to the best of our knowledge, there has been no report of this mutation in ...

α-Smooth Muscle Actin and ACTA2 Gene Expressions in Vasculopathies
α-smooth muscle actin, encoded by ACTA2 gene, is an isoform of the vascular smooth muscle actins, typically expressed in the vascular smooth muscle cells contributing to vascular motility and contraction. ACTA2 gene mutations cause a diversity of diffuse

ALPHAGMUT: A Rationale-Guided Alpha Shape Graph Neural Network to Evaluate Mutation Effects [PDF]
In silico methods evaluating the mutation effects of missense mutations are providing an important approach for understanding mutations in personal genomes and identifying disease-relevant biomarkers. However, existing methods, including deep learning methods, heavily rely on sequence-aware information, and do not fully leverage the potential of ...

Population genetics of translational robustness [PDF]
Recent work has shown that expression level is the main predictor of a gene’s evolutionary rate, and that more highly expressed genes evolve slower. A possible explanation for this observation is selection for proteins which fold properly despite mistranslation, in short selection for translational robustness.
