Autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome (ALPS) is a primary immune regulatory disorder clinically defined by chronic and benign lymphoproliferation, autoimmunity and an increased risk of lymphoma due to a genetic defect in the FAS-FASL apoptotic pathway.

The evolving landscape of prostate cancer somatic mutations. [PDF]
BACKGROUND The landscape of somatic mutations in prostate cancer (PCa) has quickly evolved over the past years. RESULTS This evolution was in part due to the improved quality and lower cost of genomic sequencing platforms available to an ever ...

Assessment of somatic mutations in urine and plasma of Wilms tumor patients
Tumor DNA has been detected in body fluids of cancer patients. Somatic tumor mutations are being used as biomarkers in body fluids to monitor chemotherapy response as a minimally invasive tool.

Cardiovascular and metabolic characters of KCNJ5 somatic mutations in primary aldosteronism
BackgroundPrimary aldosteronism (PA) is the leading cause of curable endocrine hypertension, which is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular and metabolic insults compared to essential hypertension. Aldosterone-producing adenoma (APA) is a major

Somatic Mutations in Cardiovascular Disease [PDF]
Advances in population-scale genomic sequencing have greatly expanded the understanding of the inherited basis of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Reanalysis of these genomic datasets identified an unexpected risk factor for CVD, somatically acquired DNA mutations. In this review, we provide an overview of somatic mutations and their contributions to CVD.

Clinicoprognostical features of endometrial cancer patients with somatic mtDNA mutations [PDF]
Somatic mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations have been found in a subset of endometrial cancers (EC) from different populations. We have investigated the relationship between mtDNA changes and clinical and pathological variables of women affected by ...

Somatic mutations have a central role in cancer, but there are also a few rare autoimmune diseases in which somatic mutations play a major role. We have recently shown that nonsynonymous somatic mutations with low allele fractions are preferentially ...

Comparison of X-ray and gamma-ray dose-response curves for pink somatic mutations in Tradescantia clone 02 [PDF]
Microdosimetric data indicate that the mean specific energy,zeta, produced by individual charged particles from X rays and gamma rays is different for the two radiation qualities by nearly a factor of two.

Germline mutations in the oncogene EZH2 cause Weaver syndrome and increased human height. [PDF]
The biological processes controlling human growth are diverse, complex and poorly understood. Genetic factors are important and human height has been shown to be a highly polygenic trait to which common and rare genetic variation contributes.

Comprehensive multi-omic profiling of somatic mutations in malformations of cortical development
Malformations of cortical development (MCD) are neurological conditions involving focal disruptions of cortical architecture and cellular organization that arise during embryogenesis, largely from somatic mosaic mutations, and cause intractable epilepsy.
