Phosphoserine aminotransferase deficiency: a novel disorder of the serine biosynthesis pathway. [PDF]
We present the first two identified cases of phosphoserine aminotransferase deficiency. This disorder of serine biosynthesis has been identified in two siblings who showed low concentrations of serine and glycine in plasma and cerebrospinal fluid ...

Human Cerebral Cortex Proteome of Fragile X-Associated Tremor/Ataxia Syndrome
Background: Fragile X-associated tremor/ataxia syndrome (FXTAS) is an adult-onset neurodegenerative disorder associated with premutation CGG-repeat expansions (55–200 repeats) in the 5′ non-coding portion of the fragile X mental retardation 1 (FMR1) gene.

Targeting PSAT1 to mitigate metastasis in tumors with p53-72Pro variant
The single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) of p53, in particular the codon 72 variants, has recently been implicated as a critical regulator in tumor progression. However, the underlying mechanism remains elusive.
