Characterization and prognostic value of mutations in exons 5 and 6 of the p53 gene in patients with colorectal cancers in central Iran [PDF]
Background/Aims: We aimed to investigate the relation-ships among various mutations of the p53 gene and their protein products, histological characteristics, and disease prognosis of primary colorectal cancer in Isfahan, central Iran.

Germline and Somatic DNA Damage Repair Gene Mutations and Overall Survival in Metastatic Pancreatic Adenocarcinoma Patients Treated with FOLFIRINOX [PDF]
Purpose: Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is a lethal cancer with lack of predictive biomarkers. We conducted a study to assess DNA damage repair (DDR) gene mutations as a predictive biomarker in PDAC patients treated with FOLFIRINOX ...

Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the major cause of dementia worldwide. Early-onset familial AD accounts for about 0.5% of all AD and is caused by single major gene mutations and autosomal dominant inheritance.

A novel mutation in the tropomyosin 1 gene in a Chinese patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an inherited heart disease characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy. Although sarcomeric gene mutations can explain many HCM cases, the genetic basis of approximately half of HCM cases remains elusive.

Deciphering the Language of Nature: A transformer-based language model for deleterious mutations in proteins [PDF]
Various machine-learning models, including deep neural network models, have already been developed to predict deleteriousness of missense (non-synonymous) mutations. Potential improvements to the current state of the art, however, may still benefit from a fresh look at the biological problem using more sophisticated self-adaptive machine-learning ...

Preliminary Report: Missense mutations in the APOL gene family are associated with end stage kidney disease risk previously attributed to the MYH9 gene [PDF]
MYH9 has been proposed as a major genetic risk locus for a spectrum of non-diabetic end stage kidney disease (ESKD). We use recently released sequences from the 1000 Genomes Project to identify two western African specific missense mutations (S342G and I384M) in the neighbouring APOL1 gene, and demonstrate that these are more strongly associated with ...

A novel PCFT gene mutation (p.Cys66LeufsX99) causing hereditary folate malabsorption [PDF]
Hereditary folate malabsorption (HFM) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder which is characterized by impaired intestinal folate malabsorption and impaired folate transport into the central nervous system.

Rare missense mutations in P2RY11 in narcolepsy with cataplexy [PDF]
The sleep disorder narcolepsy with cataplexy is characterized by a highly specific loss of hypocretin (orexin) neurons, leading to the hypothesis that the condition is caused by an immune or autoimmune mechanism. All genetic variants associated with narcolepsy are immune-related. Among these are single nucleotide polymorphisms in the P2RY11-EIF3G locus.
