Nature Neuroscience, 2017 Although de novo missense mutations have been predicted to account for more cases of autism than gene-truncating mutations, most research has focused on the latter.

Missense mutations in DYT-TOR1A dystonia [PDF]
Neurology Genetics, 2019 DYT-TOR1A dystonia is caused by dominant mutations in the TOR1A gene, most frequently a heterozygous in-frame deletion in exon 5 (c.904_906delGAG; p.302/303delE).1 The most frequent phenotype has childhood onset in a limb, spreading to generalized dystonia within a few years.

Functional Consequences of PRODH Missense Mutations [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2005 PRODH maps to 22q11 in the region deleted in the velocardiofacial syndrome/DiGeorge syndrome (VCFS/DGS) and encodes proline oxidase (POX), a mitochondrial inner-membrane enzyme that catalyzes the first step in the proline degradation pathway. At least 16 PRODH missense mutations have been identified in studies of type I hyperprolinemia (HPI) and ...

A next-generation sequencing approach to identify gene mutations in early-and late-onset hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients of an Italian cohort [PDF]
, 2016 Sequencing of sarcomere protein genes in patients fulfilling the clinical diagnostic criteria for hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) identifies a disease-causing mutation in 35% to 60% of cases.

GJC2 Missense Mutations Cause Human Lymphedema [PDF]
The American Journal of Human Genetics, 2010 Lymphedema is the clinical manifestation of defects in lymphatic structure or function. Mutations identified in genes regulating lymphatic development result in inherited lymphedema. No mutations have yet been identified in genes mediating lymphatic function that result in inherited lymphedema.

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.

FBXW7 missense mutation: a novel negative prognostic factor in metastatic colorectal adenocarcinoma
OncoTarget, 2017 Background FBXW7 functions as a ubiquitin ligase tagging multiple dominant oncogenic proteins and commonly mutates in colorectal cancer. Data suggest missense mutations lead to greater loss of FBXW7 function than other gene aberrations do.

Melanocortin-4 receptor gene: case-control study and transmission disequilibrium test confirm that functionally relevant mutations are compatible with a major gene effect for extreme obesity [PDF]
, 2003 We initially performed a mutation screen of the coding region of the MC4R in 808 extremely obese children and adolescents and 327 underweight or normal-weight controls allowing for a case-control study.
