Relationship between genetic mutation variations and acute-phase reactants in the attack-free period of children diagnosed with familial Mediterranean fever

open access: yesBrazilian Journal of Medical and Biological Research, 2013
Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a periodic autoinflammatory disease characterized by chronic inflammation. This study investigated the relationship between acute-phase reactants and gene mutations in attack-free periods of childhood FMF.

Heterozygous frameshift mutation in FaMYB10 is responsible for the natural formation of red and white-fleshed strawberry (Fragaria x ananassa Duch)

open access: yesFrontiers in Plant Science, 2022
During natural evolution and artificial selection, the fruit color of many species has been repeatedly gained or lost and is generally associated with mutations in genes encoding R2R3-MYB transcription factors, especially MYB10.

Presence of the ABCB1 (MDR1) deletion mutation causing ivermectin hypersensitivity in certain dog breeds in Belgium [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Hypersensitivity to ivermectin and certain other drugs in Collies and related breeds is caused by a 4-base pair deletion mutation in the ABCB1 gene, better known as the MDR1 gene, encoding P-glycoprotein.

Editing the genome to introduce a beneficial naturally occurring mutation associated with increased fetal globin

open access: yesNature Communications, 2015
Genetic disorders resulting from defects in the adult globin genes are among the most common inherited diseases. Symptoms worsen from birth as fetal γ-globin expression is silenced.

Characteristics of the Kelch domain containing (KLHDC) subfamily and relationships with diseases

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
The Kelch protein superfamily includes 63 members, with the KLHDC subfamily having 10 proteins. While their functions are not fully understood, recent advances in KLHDC2's structure and role in protein degradation have highlighted its potential for drug development, especially in PROTAC therapies.

Diffusion tensor imaging of brain white matter in Huntington gene mutation individuals

open access: yesArquivos de Neuro-Psiquiatria
Objective To evaluate the role of the involvement of white matter tracts in huntingtin gene mutation patients as a potential biomarker of the progression of the disease. Methods We evaluated 34 participants (11 symptomatic huntingtin gene mutation, 12

Insertion of the FeB cofactor in cNORs lacking metal inserting chaperones

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Nitric oxide reductase is an enzyme found in the bacterial denitrification pathway. The NOR active site contains a non‐heme iron, often, but not always inserted with the assistance of chaperones. Here, we study the insertion of FeB in the subfamily of cNORs lacking chaperones and found a putative channel, conserved in the family, perhaps enabling the ...

Targeted Molecular Characterization of Aldosterone-Producing Adenomas in White Americans

open access: yesJournal of Clinical Endocrinology and Metabolism, 2018
Context Somatic mutations have been identified in more than half of aldosterone-producing adenomas (APAs) through mutation hotspot sequencing. The underlying pathogenesis of inappropriate aldosterone synthesis in the remaining population is still unknown.

MAP1B mutations cause intellectual disability and extensive white matter deficit [PDF]

open access: yesNature Communications, 2018
AbstractDiscovery of coding variants in genes that confer risk of neurodevelopmental disorders is an important step towards understanding the pathophysiology of these disorders. Whole-genome sequencing of 31,463 Icelanders uncovers a frameshift variant (E712KfsTer10) in microtubule-associated protein 1B (MAP1B) that associates with ID/low IQ in a large
