Pathogenic mycobacteria achieve cellular persistence by inhibiting the Niemann-Pick Type C disease cellular pathway [PDF]

, 2016
Background. Tuberculosis remains a major global health concern. The ability to prevent phagosome-lysosome fusion is a key mechanism by which intracellular mycobacteria, including Mycobacterium tuberculosis, achieve long-term persistence within host cells.

Establishing the precise evolutionary history of a gene improves prediction of disease-causing missense mutations [PDF]

, 2016
PURPOSE: Predicting the phenotypic effects of mutations has become an important application in clinical genetic diagnostics. Computational tools evaluate the behavior of the variant over evolutionary time and assume that variations seen during the course

Generation of the Niemann–Pick type C2 patient-derived iPSC line AKOSi001-A

Stem Cell Research, 2019
Niemann-Pick disease Type C (NPC) is a rare progressive neurodegenerative disorder with an incidence of 1:120,000 caused by mutations in the NPC1 or NPC2 gene. Only 5% of NPC patients suffer from mutations of the NPC2 gene.

“Double Hit” Homozygous Mutations for Two Different Rare Inborn Errors of Metabolism: A Burden for Countries with High Prevalences of Consangineous Marriages

Journal of Pediatric Research, 2018
Inborn errors of metabolism comprise a broad range of genetic diseases of which most are inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Although being rare, there is a significant increase in their rate especially in countries where consanguineous marriages
