Whole-exome sequencing in undiagnosed genetic diseases: interpreting 119 trios [PDF]
Purpose: Despite the recognized clinical value of exome-based diagnostics, methods for comprehensive genomic interpretation remain immature. Diagnoses are based on known or presumed pathogenic variants in genes already associated with a similar phenotype.

Gene Essentiality Profiling Reveals Gene Networks and Synthetic Lethal Interactions with Oncogenic Ras [PDF]
The genetic dependencies of human cancers widely vary. Here, we catalog this heterogeneity and use it to identify functional gene interactions and genotype-dependent liabilities in cancer.

The cytoplasmic peptide:N-glycanase (NGLY1) — Structure, expression and cellular functions [PDF]
NGLY1/Ngly1 is a cytosolic peptide:N-glycanase, i.e. de-N-glycosylating enzyme acting on N-glycoproteins in mammals, generating free, unconjugated N-glycans and deglycosylated peptides in which the N-glycosylated asparagine residues are converted to aspartates.

ADrosophilanatural variation screen identifies NKCC1 as a substrate of NGLY1 deglycosylation and a modifier of NGLY1 deficiency [PDF]
AbstractN-Glycanase 1 (NGLY1) is a cytoplasmic deglycosylating enzyme. Loss-of-function mutations in theNGLY1gene cause NGLY1 deficiency, which is characterized by developmental delay, seizures, and a lack of sweat and tears. To model the phenotypic variability observed among patients, we crossed aDrosophilamodel of NGLY1 deficiency onto a panel of ...

The STING pathway drives noninflammatory neurodegeneration in NGLY1 deficiency. [PDF]
The STING pathway is increasingly recognized as a key regulator of neuroinflammation in neurodegenerative disease, but its role in noninflammatory conditions remains unclear. We generated a postnatal inducible whole-body Ngly1 knockout mouse (iNgly1−/−) to model NGLY1 deficiency, an early-onset neurodegenerative disorder.

NGLY1 Deficiency Affects Glycosaminoglycan Biosynthesis and Wnt Signaling Pathway in Mice [PDF]
Individuals affected by NGLY1 Deficiency cannot properly deglycosylate and recycle certain proteins. Even though less than 100 people worldwide have been diagnosed with this rare autosomal recessive condition, thousands are affected by similar ...

NGLY1 knockdown or pharmacological inhibition induces cellular autophagy [PDF]
SummaryPan-caspase inhibitor Z-VAD-fmk acts as an inhibitor of peptide:N-glycanase (NGLY1); an endoglycosidase which cleavesN-linked glycans from glycoproteins exported from the endoplasmic reticulum during ER-associated degradation (ERAD). PharmacologicalN-glycanase inhibition by Z-VAD-fmk or siRNA knockdown (KD) induces GFP-LC3 positive puncta in HEK
