Abstract Infantile exocrine pancreatic insufficiency is a rare condition, most often encountered in the context of cystic fibrosis or Shwachman–Diamond syndrome. The SPINK1 gene encodes a trypsin inhibitor protein that prevents the premature activation of digestive enzymes in pancreatic tissue.

Further evidence for the involvement of EFL1 in a Shwachman-Diamond-like syndrome and expansion of the phenotypic features. [PDF]
Recent evidence has implicated EFL1 in a phenotype overlapping Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS), with the functional interplay between EFL1 and the previously known causative gene SBDS accounting for the similarity in clinical features. Relatively little

Summary Identifying telomere biology disorders (TBDs) in patients with aplastic anaemia (AA) is essential for guiding appropriate care. Telomere length (TL) measurement by flow cytometry with fluorescence in situ hybridization supports diagnosis, but the real‐world performance of the basic test (lymphocytes and granulocytes) versus the detailed test ...

RNA Analysis Uncovers Pathogenic PARN Variant in Dyskeratosis Congenita
Using WGS and RNA analysis, we identified a branch point‐disrupting variant in the PARN gene and elucidated its pathogenic molecular mechanism in a child with atypical dyskeratosis congenita presentation. ABSTRACT Dyskeratosis congenita (DC) is a rare genetic disorder caused by impaired telomere maintenance, leading to diverse clinical manifestations ...

Strategies against nonsense: oxadiazoles as translational readthrough-inducing drugs (TRIDs) [PDF]
This review focuses on the use of oxadiazoles as translational readthrough-inducing drugs (TRIDs) to rescue the functional full-length protein expression in mendelian genetic diseases caused by nonsense mutations.
