Targeted therapies to improve CFTR function in cystic fibrosis [PDF]
Cystic fibrosis is the most common genetically determined, life-limiting disorder in populations of European ancestry. The genetic basis of cystic fibrosis is well established to be mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ...

Amlexanox Enhances Premature Termination Codon Read-Through in COL7A1 and Expression of Full Length Type VII Collagen: Potential Therapy for Recessive Dystrophic Epidermolysis Bullosa. [PDF]
Recessive dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa (RDEB) is a rare monogenic blistering disorder caused by the lack of functional type VII collagen, leading to skin fragility and subsequent trauma-induced separation of the epidermis from the underlying dermis ...

A nonsense mutation in the HOXD13 gene underlies synpolydactyly with incomplete penetrance
Synpolydactyly 1 (SPD1; OMIM 186000), also known as type II syndactyly, is a dominantly inherited limb malformation that is characterized by an increased number of digits. SPD1 is most commonly caused by polyalanine repeat expansions in the coding region

A novel mutation in the leptin gene (W121X) in an Egyptian family
Congenital leptin deficiency is a rare recessively inherited condition due to homozygous mutations in the LEP gene. To date, only nine mutations have been identified in the LEP gene (p.L72S, p.N103K, p.R105W, p.H118L, p.S141C, c.104_106delTCA, c ...
