The prognostic value of TP53 mutations in hypopharyngeal squamous cell carcinoma

BMC Cancer, 2017
Background TP53 is the most frequently mutated gene in human cancers. Previous studies reported that TP53 mutations correlated with poor prognoses in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC).

Truncating and missense BMPR2 mutations differentially affect the severity of heritable pulmonary arterial hypertension

Respiratory Research, 2009
Background Autosomal dominant inheritance of germline mutations in the bone morphogenetic protein receptor type 2 (BMPR2) gene are a major risk factor for pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). While previous studies demonstrated a difference in severity

Bioinformatics Profiling Of Missense Mutations

, 2009
The ability to distinguish missense nucleotide substitutions that contribute to harmful effect from those that do not is a difficult problem usually accomplished through functional in vivo analyses. In this study, instead current biochemical methods, the effects of missense mutations upon protein structure and function were assayed by means of ...

Missense Mutation in AR-CGD

, 2012
Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inherited disorder of the innate immune system characterized by impairment of intracellular microbicidal activity of phagocytes. Mutations in one of four known nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) -oxidase components preclude generation of superoxide and related antimicrobial oxidants, leading to

Clinical Diagnosis of X-Linked Spondyloepiphyseal Dysplasia Tarda and a Novel Missense Mutation in the Sedlin Gene (SEDL)

International Journal of Endocrinology, 2018
Objective. Spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda (SEDT) is a rare hereditary bone disease characterized by spinal and epiphyseal anomalies. We identified the disease by gene sequencing in a Chinese pedigree with SEDT. Methods.
