SHOX point mutations in dyschondrosteosis [PDF]
Dyschondrosteosis (DCS) has been recently ascribed to mutations of the SHOX gene on the pseudoautosomal region of the X and Y chromosomes.1 2 Most cases are accounted for by large scale deletions3-7 and only two point mutations have been hitherto identified in exon 4 (R195 X and Y199X1 2).

A point mutation is when a single base pair is altered. Point mutations can have one of three effects. First, the base substitution can be a silent mutation where the altered codon corresponds to the same amino acid.

Point mutations in the dystrophin gene. [PDF]
Defining the range of mutations in genes that cause human disease is essential to determine the mechanisms of genetic variation and the function of gene domains and to perform precise carrier and prenatal diagnosis. The mutations in one-third of Duchenne muscular dystrophy patients remain unknown as they do not involve gross rearrangements of the ...

OsCIPK7 point-mutation leads to conformation and kinase-activity change for sensing cold response.
Calcineurin B-like interacting protein kinases (CIPKs) play important roles via environmental stress. However, less is known how to sense the stress in molecular structure conformation level.

PICMI: mapping point mutations on genomes [PDF]
Abstract Motivation: Several international collaborations and local projects are producing extensive catalogues of genomic variations that are supplementing existing collections such as the OMIM catalogue. The flood of this type of data will keep increasing and, especially, it will be relevant to a wider user base, including not only ...

A histone point mutation that switches on autophagy [PDF]
The multifaceted process of aging inevitably leads to disturbances in cellular metabolism and protein homeostasis. To meet this challenge, cells make use of autophagy, which is probably one of the most important pathways preserving cellular protection under stressful conditions.

A SIMPLE pipeline for mapping point mutations [PDF]
AbstractA forward genetic screen is one of the best methods for revealing the regulatory functions of genes. In plants, this technique is highly efficient since it is relatively easy to grow and screen the phenotypes of hundreds or thousands of individuals.

Calmodulin variants associated with congenital arrhythmia impair selectivity for ryanodine receptors
Among its many molecular targets, the ubiquitous calcium sensor protein calmodulin (CaM) recognizes and regulates the activity of ryanodine receptors type 1 (RyR1) and 2 (RyR2), mainly expressed in skeletal and cardiac muscle, respectively.
