Trio exome sequencing allowed the identification of two novel compound heterozygous variants in PIK3C2A, defining the fifth family presenting a PIK3C2A‐related syndrome characterized by pulverulent cataracts and deafness. Functional testing revealed impaired PI metabolism and primary dysfunction phenotype.

Gαq signalling from endosomes: A new conundrum
Abstract G‐protein‐coupled receptors (GPCRs) constitute the largest family of membrane receptors, and are involved in the transmission of a variety of extracellular stimuli such as hormones, neurotransmitters, light and odorants into intracellular responses.

Expanded carrier screening for inherited genetic disease using exome and genome sequencing
Abstract The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of using exome (ES) and genome sequencing (GS) in guiding preconception genetic screening (PCGS) for couples who are planning to conceive by creating a workflow for identifying risk alleles for autosomal recessive (AR) and X‐linked (XL) disorders without the constraints of a predetermined ...

Deficiency in the endocytic adaptor proteins PHETA1/2 impairs renal and craniofacial development
A critical barrier in the treatment of endosomal and lysosomal diseases is the lack of understanding of the in vivo functions of the putative causative genes.

Domain‐Shuffling in the Evolution of Cyclostomes and Gnathostomes
We addressed the potential roles of domain‐shuffling origin genes (DSO‐Gs) in the evolution of early vertebrates. Through comparative genome analysis of 22 metazoans, including four cyclostomes, we identified DSO‐Gs before and after the divergence of cyclostomes and gnathostomes, and suggest domain shuffling as a key mechanism in vertebrate early ...

Lowe Syndrome (Oculo-cerebro-renal Syndrome of Lowe): A Case Report from Eastern India [PDF]
Lowe syndrome (the oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe, OCRL) is a rare X-linked recessive metabolic disorder that primarily affects eyes, kidneys and brain. It is caused by the deficiency of enzyme phosphatidylinositol 4, 5-bisphosphate 5-phosphatase.

Phosphoinositide Metabolism: Biochemistry, Physiology and Genetic Disorders
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 ...

Molecular and mechanical mechanisms of animal cell abscission
Cytokinesis leads to the distribution of segregated chromosomes, membrane, and cytoplasmic material in the two daughter cells, and ultimately concludes with abscission, their physical separation. In this Graphical Review, we outline the key events that lead to abscission and discuss mechanisms of delayed abscisison.
