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 ...

A mutation cycle is a cycle in a graph whose vertices are labeled by the quivers in a given mutation class and whose edges correspond to single mutations. For any fixed $n\ge 4$, we describe arbitrarily long mutation cycles involving $n$-vertex quivers.

Whole exome and targeted deep sequencing identify genome-wide allelic loss and frequent SETDB1 mutations in malignant pleural mesotheliomas. [PDF]
Malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM), a rare malignancy with a poor prognosis, is mainly caused by exposure to asbestos or other organic fibers, but the underlying genetic mechanism is not fully understood.

UDP‐glucose dehydrogenase variants cause dystroglycanopathy
Abstract UDP‐glucose dehydrogenase (UGDH) variants have been associated with hypotonia, developmental delay, and epilepsy. We report the first pathologic evidence of dystroglycanopathy in siblings with UGDH variants. Both presented around 6 months with developmental delay and elevated creatinine kinase.

ALK gene missense mutations are conventionally considered non-driver mutations without pathological significance, and therefore, there is a lack of effective target drugs against them.

NF2/merlin in hereditary neurofibromatosis 2 versus cancer: biologic mechanisms and clinical associations. [PDF]
Inactivating germline mutations in the tumor suppressor gene NF2 cause the hereditary syndrome neurofibromatosis 2, which is characterized by the development of neoplasms of the nervous system, most notably bilateral vestibular schwannoma.

Effect of the R569W Missense Mutation on the Biosynthesis of Myeloperoxidase [PDF]
Human neutrophil microbicidal activity is largely mediated by reactive species generated by the oxygen-dependent myeloperoxidase (MPO) system. Peroxidase-negative neutrophils from many patients with hereditary MPO deficiency possess a 90-kDa MPO-related protein.

ABSTRACT C‐truncating variants in the charged multivesicular body protein 2B (CHMP2B) gene are a rare cause of frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), previously identified only in Denmark, Belgium, and China. We report a novel CHMP2B splice‐site variant (c.35‐1G>A) associated with familial FTLD in Spain. The cases were two monozygotic male twins who

Molecular genetics and pathophysiology of 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 deficiency. [PDF]
Autosomal recessive mutations in the 17 beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase 3 gene impair the formation of testosterone in the fetal testis and give rise to genetic males with female external genitalia.
