HPDL Variant Type Correlates With Clinical Disease Onset and Severity

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Recently, a mitochondrial encephalopathy due to biallelic HPDL variants was described, associated with a broad range of clinical manifestations ranging from severe, infantile‐onset neurodegeneration to adolescence‐onset hereditary spastic paraplegia. HPDL converts 4‐hydroxyphenylpyruvate acid (4‐HPPA) into 4‐hydroxymandelate (4‐HMA),

A Spatial Mutation Model with Increasing Mutation Rates [PDF]

arXiv, 2021
We consider a spatial model of cancer in which cells are points on the $d$-dimensional torus $\mathcal{T}=[0,L]^d$, and each cell with $k-1$ mutations acquires a $k$th mutation at rate $\mu_k$. We will assume that the mutation rates $\mu_k$ are increasing, and we find the asymptotic waiting time for the first cell to acquire $k$ mutations as the torus ...

Contribution of MUTYH variants to male breast cancer risk: results from a multicenter study in Italy [PDF]

, 2018
Inherited mutations in BRCA1, and, mainly, BRCA2 genes are associated with increased risk of male breast cancer (MBC). Mutations in PALB2 and CHEK2 genes may also increase MBC risk.

Pseudometabolic presentation of dystrophinopathy due to a missense mutation [PDF]

Muscle & Nerve, 2010
AbstractExercise intolerance with myalgia, muscle stiffness, and recurrent rhabdomyolysis due to mutations in the DMD gene can mimic metabolic myopathies leading to delayed or inaccurate diagnoses. In this retrospective chart review, we report 3 unrelated boys with exertional myalgia, muscle stiffness, myoglobinuria, and normal neurological examination

Clinical Trial Readiness in Limb Girdle Muscular Dystrophy R1 (LGMDR1): A GRASP Consortium Study

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Identifying functional measures that are both valid and reliable in the limb girdle muscular dystrophy (LGMD) population is critical for quantifying the level of functional impairment related to disease progression in order to establish clinical trial readiness in the context of anticipated therapeutic trials.

A rare missense PAX6 mutation causes atypical aniridia in a three-generation Chinese family [PDF]

International Journal of Ophthalmology
AIM: To investigate the molecular diagnosis of a three-generation Chinese family affected with aniridia, and further to identify clinically a PAX6 missense mutation in members with atypical aniridia.

Predicting non-neutral missense mutations and their biochemical consequences using genome-scale homology modeling of human protein complexes [PDF]

arXiv, 2013
Computational methods are needed to differentiate the small fraction of missense mutations that contribute to disease by disrupting protein function from neutral variants. We describe several complementary methods using large-scale homology modeling of human protein complexes to detect non-neutral mutations.

Compound Heterozygous MRPS14 Variants Associated With Leigh Syndrome

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT MRPS14 (uS14m) is a nuclear‐encoded ribosomal protein important for mitochondria‐specific translation. To date, only a single individual with a recessive MRPS14‐related disorder (also known as COXPD38) has been reported. We report an additional subject possessing novel compound heterozygous MRPS14 variants (p.Asp37Asn, p.Asn60Asp). The subject

A companion to the preclinical common data elements for rodent genetic epilepsy models. A report of the TASK3‐WG1B: Paediatric and genetic models working group of the ILAE/AES joint translational TASK force

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Rodent models of epilepsy remain the cornerstone of research into the mechanisms underlying genetic epilepsy. Reproducibility of experiments using these rodent models, occurring across a diversity of laboratories and commercial vendors, remains an issue impacting the cost‐effectiveness and scientific rigor of the studies performed.

Preliminary study on the function of the POLD1 (CDC2) EXON2 c.56G>A mutation

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare recessive disease characterized by DNA damage repair deficiency, and DNA polymerase δ (whose catalytic subunit is encoded by POLD1, also known as CDC2) is closely related to DNA damage repair.
