Performance of mutation pathogenicity prediction methods on missense variants

Human Mutation, 2011
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are the most common form of genetic variation in humans. The number of SNPs identified in the human genome is growing rapidly, but attaining experimental knowledge about the possible disease association of variants ...

Missense mutations of human homeoboxes: A review [PDF]

Human Mutation, 2001
The homeodomain (encoded by the homeobox) is the DNA-binding domain of a large variety of transcriptional regulators involved in controlling cell fate decisions and development. Mutations of homeobox-containing genes cause several diseases in humans. A variety of missense mutations giving rise to human diseases have been described.

Class IIa HDACs forced degradation allows resensitization of oxaliplatin‐resistant FBXW7‐mutated colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
HDAC4 is degraded by the E3 ligase FBXW7. In colorectal cancer, FBXW7 mutations prevent HDAC4 degradation, leading to oxaliplatin resistance. Forced degradation of HDAC4 using a PROTAC compound restores drug sensitivity by resetting the super‐enhancer landscape, reprogramming the epigenetic state of FBXW7‐mutated cells to resemble oxaliplatin ...

Preliminary study on the function of the POLD1 (CDC2) EXON2 c.56G>A mutation

Molecular Genetics & Genomic Medicine, 2020
Background Fanconi anemia (FA) is a rare recessive disease characterized by DNA damage repair deficiency, and DNA polymerase δ (whose catalytic subunit is encoded by POLD1, also known as CDC2) is closely related to DNA damage repair.

Classification of Missense Mutations of Disease Genes [PDF]

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2005
Clinical management of individuals found to harbor a mutation at a known disease-susceptibility gene depends on accurate assessment of mutation-specific disease risk. For missense mutations (MMs)-mutations that lead to a single amino acid change in the protein coded by the gene-this poses a particularly challenging problem.

Effect of chemotherapy on passenger mutations in metastatic colorectal cancer

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
Changes in passenger mutation load and predicted immunotherapy response after chemotherapy treatment. Tumor cells rich with passenger mutations have increased sensitivity to chemotherapy. Correlation of passenger mutations with neoantigen load suggests highly mutated clones promote a more effective response to immunotherapy, and therefore, first‐line ...

Whole-exome sequencing identified a missense mutation in WFS1 causing low-frequency hearing loss: a case report

BMC Medical Genetics, 2017
Background Low-frequency nonsyndromic hearing loss (LF-NSHL) is a rare, inherited disorder. Here, we report a family with LF-NSHL in whom a missense mutation was found in the Wolfram syndrome 1 (WFS1) gene.

Long-term rearrangement of retinal structures in a novel mutation of X-linked retinoschisis [PDF]

, 2017
The aim of the present study was to report a novel mutation in the retinoschisin 1 (RS1) gene in a Caucasian family affected by X-linked juvenile retinoschisis (XLRS) and to describe the long-term modification of retinal structure.

A missense mutation in PIK3R5 gene in a family with ataxia and oculomotor apraxia

Human Mutation, 2012
Autosomal recessive ataxias are heterogeneous group of disorders characterized by cerebellar atrophy and peripheral sensorimotor neuropathy. Molecular characterization of this group of disorders identified a number of genes contributing to these ...

Recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming and confer resistance to targeted therapies

Molecular Oncology, EarlyView.
We show that the majority of the 18 analyzed recurrent cancer‐associated ERBB4 mutations are transforming. The most potent mutations are activating, co‐operate with other ERBB receptors, and are sensitive to pan‐ERBB inhibitors. Activating ERBB4 mutations also promote therapy resistance in EGFR‐mutant lung cancer.
