AHDC1 missense mutations in Xia-Gibbs syndrome
Xia-Gibbs syndrome (XGS; MIM: 615829) is a phenotypically heterogeneous neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) caused by newly arising mutations in the AT-Hook DNA-Binding Motif-Containing 1 (AHDC1) gene that are predicted to lead to truncated AHDC1 protein synthesis. More than 270 individuals have been diagnosed with XGS worldwide.

Tau is central in the genetic Alzheimer-frontotemporal dementia spectrum [PDF]
In contrast to the common and genetically complex senile form of Alzheimer's disease (AD), the molecular genetic dissection of inherited presenile dementias has given important mechanistic insights into the pathogenesis of degenerative brain disease ...

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.

CINCA Syndrome With New NLRP3 Mutation and Unreported Complication of Thyroid Carcinoma
Background: Chronic infantile neurologic cutaneous and articular syndrome (CINCA) is the most severe phenotype of cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes (CAPS) and is caused by a missense mutation in NLRP3 gene.

SEDLIN forms homodimers: characterisation of SEDLIN mutations and their interactions with transcription factors MBP1, PITX1 and SF1 [PDF]
BACKGROUND SEDLIN, a 140 amino acid subunit of the Transport Protein Particle (TRAPP) complex, is ubiquitously expressed and interacts with the transcription factors c-myc promoter-binding protein 1 (MBP1), pituitary homeobox 1 (PITX1) and steroidogenic ...

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

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 ...
