Proteomic signatures of equine dental tooth tissues in ageing and disease
Abstract Background Ageing and dental disease in horses lead to structural and functional deterioration of dental tissues, yet their molecular signatures remain poorly characterised. Understanding how these processes alter the protein composition of enamel, dentin, cementum and pulp is essential for improving equine oral health and identifying ...

ABSTRACT Nutritional therapy is critical in managing inherited metabolic diseases (IMDs), and includes specialized diets and single nutritional therapy products (sNTPs) such as vitamins, cofactors, and amino acids. Many sNTPs function as medicines, but are regulated as food (e.g., food supplements), which can limit access, reimbursement, and consistent

Clinical and genetic characteristics of 29 Chinese patients with X-linked hypophosphatemia
ObjectiveThe aim of this study was to fully describe the clinical and genetic characteristics, including clinical manifestations, intact fibroblast growth factor 23 (iFGF23) levels, and presence of PHEX gene mutations, of 22 and 7 patients with familial ...

Abstract Background X-linked hypophosphatemia (XLHR) is the most common genetic form of hypophosphatemic rickets (HR), which is caused by phosphate regulating endopeptidase homolog X-linked (PHEX) gene mutation.

Whole Exome Sequencing Reveals Novel PHEX Splice Site Mutations in Patients with Hypophosphatemic Rickets. [PDF]
Hypophosphatemic rickets (HR) is a heterogeneous genetic phosphate wasting disorder. The disease is most commonly caused by mutations in the PHEX gene located on the X-chromosome or by mutations in CLCN5, DMP1, ENPP1, FGF23, and SLC34A3. The aims of this

ABSTRACT Objectives Partial gene duplications (PGDups) are a significant contributor to genetic disease. The precise genomic location and structure of PGDups are often unresolved using conventional methods, so prenatal diagnosis for PGDups is challenging, especially without ultrasound abnormalities.

Mutational Analysis of PHEX Gene in X-Linked Hypophosphatemia
Hypophosphatemic rickets is commonly an X-linked dominant disorder (XLH or HYP) associated with a renal tubular defect in phosphate transport and bone deformities. The XLH gene, referred to as PHEX, or formerly as PEX (phosphate regulating gene with homologies to endopeptidases on the X-chromosome), encodes a 749-amino acid protein that putatively ...

Nucleic Acids as Emerging Regulators of Calcium Phosphate Biomineralization
Calcium phosphate biomineralization has traditionally been considered a protein‐regulated process. This review highlights the emerging role of nucleic acids, which interact with mineral phases through adsorption, coprecipitation, and templating, thereby influencing crystal nucleation and growth.
