A preliminary analysis of mRNA transcribed from the N allele at the CSN1S1 locus of the goat
The goat αS1-casein is a main milk phosphoprotein of 199 aminoacid residues long. The αS1-casein gene (CSN1S1) contains 19 exons, ranging in size from 24 to 385 bp (for a total of 1138 bp) in the coding region, spread over about 17,5 kb ...

Hearing impairment in Stickler syndrome: a systematic review [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Stickler syndrome is a connective tissue disorder characterized by ocular, skeletal, orofacial and auditory defects. It is caused by mutations in different collagen genes, namely COL2A1, COL11A1 and COL11A2 (autosomal dominant inheritance ...

Mechanisms of SCN2A loss of function do not predict presence or phenotype of epilepsy
Abstract Objective SCN2A loss‐of‐function (LoF) variants are associated with epilepsy (onset age ≥ 3 months), intellectual disability (ID), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Despite numerous identified variants and the description of phenotypic subgroups, relationships between Nav1.2 channel dysfunction and clinical phenotypes remain unclear.

A SspI PCR-RFLP detecting a silent allele at the goat CSN2 locus [PDF]
The comparison between the cDNA sequence obtained and the published sequences of the goat CSN2 alleles showed a new single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) (transition C-T) at the 180th nucleotide of the ninth exon.

Dietary and biomarker‐guided strategies as supportive measures in the fragile X syndrome
Abstract The fragile X syndrome (FXS) is an inherited neurodevelopmental disorder that primarily affects males, often resulting in an IQ below 55, while about two‐thirds of females also experience intellectual disability. Physical features may include an elongated face, prominent ears, finger joint laxity, and enlarged testes in males.
