Long-term renal outcome in children with OCRL mutations: retrospective analysis of a large international cohort [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Lowe syndrome (LS) and Dent-2 disease (DD2) are disorders associated with mutations in the OCRL gene and characterized by progressive chronic kidney disease (CKD).

IPIP27A cooperates with OCRL to support endocytic traffic in the zebrafish pronephric tubule.
Endocytosis is a fundamentally important process through which material is internalized into cells from the extracellular environment. In the renal proximal tubule, endocytosis of the abundant scavenger receptor megalin and its co-receptor cubilin play a

Multiple analytical perspectives of mitochondrial genes in the context of preeclampsia: potential diagnostic markers [PDF]
Preeclampsia(PE) is closely linked to adverse maternal and fetal outcomes. Given the pivotal roles of mitochondria in various human diseases and the limited research on their involvement in PE, this study identified biomarkers linked to mitochondrial ...

Whole blood gene expression moderates associations between AD biomarkers and cognitive decline in cognitively unimpaired older adults [PDF]
Abstract INTRODUCTION Early biological pathways explaining the risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD)–related cognitive decline remain poorly understood. METHODS Using linear mixed‐effects models, we investigated whether whole blood gene expression (RNA sequencing) moderates the relationship between AD biomarkers measured by amyloid beta (Aβ) and tau‐PET ...

OCRL localizes to the primary cilium: a new role for cilia in Lowe syndrome [PDF]
Oculocerebral renal syndrome of Lowe (OCRL or Lowe syndrome), a severe X-linked congenital disorder characterized by congenital cataracts and glaucoma, mental retardation and kidney dysfunction, is caused by mutations in the OCRL gene. OCRL is a phosphoinositide 5-phosphatase that interacts with small GTPases and is involved in intracellular ...

Atypical phenotypes and novel OCRL variations in southern Chinese patients with Lowe syndrome
Lowe syndrome is characterized by the presence of congenital cataracts, psychomotor retardation, and dysfunctional proximal renal tubules. This study presents a case of an atypical phenotype, investigates the genetic characteristics of eight children ...

Rational design of k-casein peptides to modulate GSK-3B dynamics for Alzheimer’s therapy [PDF]
GSK-3β is an important therapeutic target in Alzheimer’s disease due to its central role in tau hyperphosphorylation, and synaptic dysfunction. In this study, a κ-casein-derived peptide (LALTLPFLGA) was identified via HADDOCK and introduced to MD ...

Genetic and clinical phenotype of Dent disease in Chinese children and the etiological analysis of early - onset chronic kidney disease [PDF]
Background A prominent feature of Dent disease (DD) is the progressive decline in renal function, with 30% - 80% of male patients advancing to end-stage renal disease between the ages of 30 and 50 years.

Phosphoinositide Metabolism: Biochemistry, Physiology and Genetic Disorders [PDF]
ABSTRACT Phosphatidylinositol, a glycerophospholipid with a myo‐inositol head group, can form seven different phosphoinositides (PItds) by phosphorylation at inositol carbons 3, 4 and/or 5. Over 50 kinases and phosphatases participate in PItd metabolism, creating an interconnected PItd network that allows for precise temporal and spatial regulation of ...
