Novel GLA Mutation Promotes Intron Inclusion Leading to Fabry Disease

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
Fabry disease (FD) is a rare and underdiagnosed X-linked disorder resulting from the deficient activity of the lysosomal hydrolase α-galactosidase A, which leads to storage of complex glycosphingolipids inside of lysosomes in critical organs and tissues,

SPG4 and Dementia: Expanding the Clinical Spectrum

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) is a group of disorders characterized by progressive spasticity and lower limb weakness, with mutations in SPG4/SPAST being the most common cause. Detailed studies and clinical and molecular comparisons across different populations are missing.

Compound heterozygous CHAT gene mutations, a missense and a splice site variant, in two siblings with congenital myasthenic syndrome

Scientific Reports
Mutations in the choline acetyltransferase (CHAT) gene cause congenital myasthenic syndrome (CMS). Episodic apnea is frequently observed in patients with CMS due to CHAT mutations (CMS-CHAT), and muscle hypotonia at birth or in early infancy is also ...

The strength of the HIV-1 3' splice sites affects Rev function

Retrovirology, 2006
Background The HIV-1 Rev protein is a key component in the early to late switch in HIV-1 splicing from early intronless (e.g. tat, rev) to late intron-containing Rev-dependent (e.g. gag, vif, env) transcripts.

RNA Sequencing Resolves Cryptic Pathogenic Variants in Mitochondrial Disease

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective Mitochondrial diseases are the most common inherited metabolic disorders, characterized by pronounced clinical and genetic heterogeneity that complicates molecular diagnosis. Although DNA‐based sequencing approaches have become standard in genetic testing, up to half of patients remain without a definitive diagnosis.

Rare occurrence of cryptic 5’ splice sites by downstream 3’ splice site/exon boundary mutations in a heavy-ion-induced egy1-4 allele of Arabidopsis thaliana

Frontiers in Plant Science
Pre-mRNA splicing is a fundamental process in eukaryotic gene expression, and the mechanism of intron definition, involving the recognition of the canonical GU (5’-splice site) and AG (3’-splice site) dinucleotides by splicing factors, has been ...

A short in-frame deletion in NTRK1 tyrosine kinase domain caused by a novel splice site mutation in a patient with congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis

BMC Medical Genetics, 2011
Background Congenital insensitivity to pain with anhidrosis (CIPA) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by the lack of reaction to noxious stimuli and anhidrosis.

Early Clinical, Imaging, and Pathological Characteristics of SRPK3/TTN‐Digenic Myopathy

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Objective SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy was recently established as a skeletal muscle myopathy caused by digenic inheritance. This study characterizes the early clinical presentation of SRPK3/TTN‐digenic myopathy in one previously reported and seven newly identified pediatric patients.
