Protein structure and phenotypic analysis of pathogenic and population missense variants in STXBP1 [PDF]

, 2017
Background: Syntaxin-binding protein 1, encoded by STXBP1, is highly expressed in the brain and involved in fusing synaptic vesicles with the plasma membrane.

Phenylketonuria missense mutations in the Mediterranean

Genomics, 1991
Two missense mutations have been identified in the phenylalanine hydroxylase (PAH) genes of an Italian phenylketonuria (PKU) patient. Both mutations occurred in exon 7 of the PAH gene, resulting in the substitution of Trp for Arg at amino acid 252 (R252W) and of Leu for Pro (P281L) at amino acid 281 of the protein.

Multiple ETS family transcription factors bind mutant p53 via distinct interaction regions

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Mutant p53 gain‐of‐function is thought to be mediated by interaction with other transcription factors. We identify multiple ETS transcription factors that can bind mutant p53 and found that this interaction can be promoted by a PXXPP motif. ETS proteins that strongly bound mutant p53 were upregulated in ovarian cancer compared to ETS proteins that ...

Missense and Non-Missense Lamin A/C Gene Mutations Are Similarly Associated with Major Arrhythmic Cardiac Events: A 20-Year Single-Centre Experience

Biomedicines
Arrhythmic risk stratification in patients with Lamin A/C gene (LMNA)-related cardiomyopathy influences clinical decisions. An implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) should be considered in patients with an estimated 5-year risk of malignant ...

Case report: ALK D1225N missense mutation in lung adenocarcinoma responds to tyrosine kinase inhibitors

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2023
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.

Familial hypomagnesaemia, Hypercalciuria and Nephrocalcinosis associated with a novel mutation of the highly conserved leucine residue 116 of Claudin 16 in a Chinese patient with a delayed diagnosis: A case report [PDF]

, 2018
Background: Sixty mutations of claudin 16 coding gene have been reported in familial hypomagnesemia with hypercalciuria and nephrocalcinosis (FHHNC) patients. Recent investigations revealed that a highly conserved glycine-leucine-tryptophan (115G-L-W117)

A Missense Mutation in the Sodium Channel β2 Subunit Reveals SCN2B as a New Candidate Gene for Brugada Syndrome

Human Mutation, 2013
Brugada Syndrome (BrS) is a familial disease associated with sudden cardiac death. A 20%–25% of BrS patients carry genetic defects that cause loss‐of‐function of the voltage‐gated cardiac sodium channel. Thus, 70%–75% of patients remain without a genetic

Structural instability impairs function of the UDP‐xylose synthase 1 Ile181Asn variant associated with short‐stature genetic syndrome in humans

FEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Ile181Asn variant of human UDP‐xylose synthase (hUXS1), associated with a short‐stature genetic syndrome, has previously been reported as inactive. Our findings demonstrate that Ile181Asn‐hUXS1 retains catalytic activity similar to the wild‐type but exhibits reduced stability, a looser oligomeric state, and an increased tendency to precipitate ...

Structural Bioinformatics Survey on Disease-inducing Missense Mutations [PDF]

Journal of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology, 2020
Understanding the molecular mechanisms that correlate pathologies with missense mutations is of critical importance for disease risk estimations and for devising personalized therapies. Thus, we have performed a bioinformatic survey of ClinVar, a database of human genomic variations, to find signals that can account for missense mutation pathogenicity.
