Genetic regulation of pituitary gland development in human and mouse [PDF]
Normal hypothalamopituitary development is closely related to that of the forebrain and is dependent upon a complex genetic cascade of transcription factors and signaling molecules that may be either intrinsic or extrinsic to the developing Rathke’s ...

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 ...

Circuit topology predicts pathogenicity of missense mutations
AbstractThe contact topology of a protein determines important aspects of the folding process. The topological measure of contact order has been shown to be predictive of the rate of folding. Circuit topology is emerging as another fundamental descriptor of biomolecular structure, with predicted effects on the folding rate. We analyze the residue‐based

Background The most frequent form of congenital dyserythropoietic anemia is the type II form. Recently it was shown that the vast majority of patients with congenital dyserythropoietic anemia type II carry mutations in the SEC23B gene.

Novel missense MTTP gene mutations causing abetalipoproteinemia [PDF]
The microsomal triglyceride transfer protein (MTTP) plays a critical role in the formation of hepatic very low density lipoprotein. Abetalipoproteinemia (ABL) is a rare, naturally occurring extreme form of MTTP inhibition, which is characterized by the virtual absence of apolipoprotein (apo) B-containing lipoproteins in blood.

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.

Congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma with a novel variant in ABCA12 in a Chinese patient
Introduction Congenital ichthyosiform erythroderma (CIE ) is characterized by fine, whitish scales on a background of erythematous skin over the whole body; it is reportedly caused by mutations in ABCA12, ALOX12B, ALOXE3, CERS3, CYP4F22, NIPAL4, PNPLA1 ...

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.

Molecular Mechanisms of Disease-Causing Missense Mutations [PDF]
Genetic variations resulting in a change of amino acid sequence can have a dramatic effect on stability, hydrogen bond network, conformational dynamics, activity and many other physiologically important properties of proteins. The substitutions of only one residue in a protein sequence, so-called missense mutations, can be related to many pathological ...

ABSTRACT Anaplastic sarcoma of the kidney (ASK) is a DICER1‐associated malignant tumor presumed to arise in a benign precursor, pediatric cystic nephroma (PCN). However, the initial oncogenic alteration(s) associated with malignant transformation are unknown.
