Streamlining Diagnosis of Bardet–Biedl Syndrome: New Diagnostic Algorithm With Updated Criteria

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Considerable advances have been made in our understanding of Bardet–Biedl syndrome (BBS), particularly in its core clinical features and molecular genetics, warranting an update to the existing diagnostic criteria framework. Using a rigorous, evidence‐based, and consensus‐driven process, a multidisciplinary group of international experts and ...

microRNAs and inherited retinal dystrophies [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2015
Inherited retinal dystrophies (IRD) are a heterogeneous group of blinding diseases that affect more than 200,000 Americans and millions worldwide (1). Identification of genes that are responsible for IRD when defective is of great importance to the basic understanding as well as development of efficient gene diagnosis and treatment.

Histidine Supplementation Stabilizes Hearing and Vision and Improves Growth in HARS1‐Related Autosomal Recessive Disorder Associated With Usher‐Like Symptoms

American Journal of Medical Genetics Part A, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Autosomal recessive HARS1‐related disorder (originally described as Usher syndrome type 3B) caused by a homozygous Y454S variant in the histidyl‐tRNA synthetase gene (HARS1) is characterized by progressive sensorineural hearing and vision loss and respiratory deterioration with risk for sudden death following febrile illnesses.

Distribution of Big Tau Isoforms in the Human Central and Peripheral Nervous System

Annals of Neurology, EarlyView.
Objective Tau is widely studied in neurodegeneration, yet most work has focused on canonical brain tau isoforms. A longer isoform, “big tau,” produced by inclusion of exon 4a, is expressed in the peripheral nervous system (PNS) and central nervous system (CNS) regions.

Status and future of recombinant adeno‐associated virus vector manufacturing

Biotechnology Progress, EarlyView.
Abstract Sixty years of adeno‐associated virus (AAV) research illustrates a trajectory marked by basic science exploration, iterative innovation, persistent challenges, a number of clinical setbacks, as well as commercial therapeutic triumphs. This continual evolution has led to recombinant AAV (rAAV) becoming a cornerstone of modern gene therapy ...

Direct delivery of Cas9 or base editor protein and guide RNA complex enables genome editing in the retina

Molecular Therapy: Nucleic Acids
Genome editing by CRISPR-Cas holds promise for the treatment of retinal dystrophies. For therapeutic gene editing, transient delivery of CRISPR-Cas9 is preferable to viral delivery which leads to long-term expression with potential adverse consequences ...

Hereditary retinal eye diseases in childhood and youth affecting the central retina

Oman Journal of Ophthalmology, 2013
Hereditary dystrophies affecting the central retina represent a heterogeneous group of diseases. Mutations in different genes may be responsible for changes of the choroid (choroideremia), of the retinal pigment epithelium [RPE] (Best′s disease), of the ...
