TDP‐43 A315T mutation in familial motor neuron disease
To identify novel causes of familial neurodegenerative diseases, we extended our previous studies of TAR DNA‐binding protein 43 (TDP‐43) proteinopathies to investigate TDP‐43 as a candidate gene in familial cases of motor neuron disease.

Endothelin receptor B2 (EDNRB2) is responsible for the tyrosinase-independent recessive white (mo(w) ) and mottled (mo) plumage phenotypes in the chicken. [PDF]
A mutation that confers white plumage with black eyes was identified in the Minohiki breed of Japanese native chicken (Gallus gallus domesticus). The white plumage, with a few partially pigmented feathers, was not associated with the tyrosinase gene, and

A mutation cycle is a cycle in a graph whose vertices are labeled by the quivers in a given mutation class and whose edges correspond to single mutations. For any fixed $n\ge 4$, we describe arbitrarily long mutation cycles involving $n$-vertex quivers.

Multifocal White Matter Lesions Associated with the D313Y Mutation of the α-Galactosidase A Gene
White matter lesions (WML) are clinically relevant since they are associated with strokes, cognitive decline, depression, or epilepsy, but the underlying etiology in young adults without classical risk factors still remains elusive.

Structural MRI predicts clinical progression in presymptomatic genetic frontotemporal dementia: findings from the GENetic Frontotemporal dementia Initiative (GENFI) cohort [PDF]
Biomarkers that can predict disease progression in individuals with genetic frontotemporal dementia are urgently needed. We aimed to identify whether baseline MRI-based grey and white matter abnormalities are associated with different clinical ...

Insertional DNA and spontaneous mutation at the white locus in Drosophila simulans
A large body of data on molecular analyses of several multiallelic loci in Drosophila melanogaster has demonstrated a high incidence of mobile DNA element insertions among spontaneous mutations. In the sibling species D. simulans, the dispersed, middle repetitive, nomadic sequences are reduced to about one-seventh that of its sibling species (Dowsett ...

Low‐density lipoprotein receptor‐related protein 6 (LRP6) is a key receptor for the Wnt antagonist Dickkopf1 (DKK1). DKK1 protein expression is induced in a bleomycin (BLM)‐induced lung injury model. We show that DKK1 induces proinflammatory and profibrotic genes in lung fibroblasts.
