Fine-tuning the ESM2 protein language model to understand the functional impact of missense variants [PDF]

Elucidating the functional effect of missense variants is of crucial importance, yet challenging. To understand the impact of such variants, we fine-tuned the ESM2 protein language model to classify 20 protein features at amino acid resolution. We used the resulting models to: 1) identify protein features that are enriched in either pathogenic or ...

Obesity Prevalence in DDX3X‐Related Neurodevelopmental Disorder

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the prevalence of obesity in those affected by DDX3X‐related neurodevelopmental disorder (DDX3X‐NDD). Initial descriptions suggested that individuals with DDX3X‐NDD suffered from poor weight gain or failure to thrive in early childhood, likely in the setting of feeding difficulties and secondary to ...

Expanding the Tyrosine Kinase Domain of CSF1R? A Case Report From an Adult‐Onset Leukoencephalopathy

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Adult‐onset leukoencephalopathy with axonal spheroids and pigmented glia (ALSP), also termed hereditary diffuse leukoencephalopathy with spheroids‐1 (HDLS1), results from mutations in the CSF1R gene and leads to progressive leukoencephalopathy.

α-Smooth Muscle Actin and ACTA2 Gene Expressions in Vasculopathies

Brazilian Journal of Cardiovascular Surgery, 2015
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

Cohesins: Crossroad Between Cornelia de Lange Spectrum and Cancer Predisposition

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The cohesin complex plays crucial roles in DNA repair, chromatid separation, and gene transcription regulation. Pathogenic variants in cohesins or dysfunctional transcriptional regulators lead to cohesinopathies, a broader group of disorders including Cornelia de Lange Spectrum (CdLSp), for which the prevalence of cancer cases remains unclear.

Truncating and missense BMPR2 mutations differentially affect the severity of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension

Respiratory Research, 2009
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

Compound Heterozygous Variants in ZSWIM7 Gene Linked to Infertility and Its Role in Gonadal Development

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT This study aims to elucidate the role of the ZSWIM7 gene in the etiology of infertility, focusing on its potential association with premature ovarian insufficiency and azoospermia. We investigated an 18‐year‐old female patient who presented with primary amenorrhea, hypoplasia of the uterus and ovaries, Tanner stage II breast and pubic hair ...

Tall Stature and Scoliosis Associated With a Novel Homozygous Loss‐of‐Function Missense Variant in NPR3

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT NPR3‐related tall stature is characterized by tall stature, elongated big toes, and additional epiphyses in hand and foot bones. The condition is caused by biallelic loss‐of‐function variants affecting natriuretic peptide receptor 3 (NPR3). Five individuals from four different families have been reported.
