Generation of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line (IGIBi026-A) derived from Wilson disease patient harboring compound heterozygous mutations [c.2165dupT (p.R723Efs31) and c.C813A (p.C271*)] in the ATP7B gene.

Wilson disease (WD) is a rare autosomal recessive disease caused due to mutations in the ATP7B gene. Here, we describe the establishment of an induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) line derived from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of a WD patient with compound heterozygous mutations in the ATP7B gene [c.2165dup (p.

Understanding the variant landscape, and genetic epidemiology of Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia in India.

Purpose: Multiple Endocrine Neoplasia (MEN) is a group of familial cancer syndromes that encompasses several types of endocrine tumors differentiated by genetic mutations in RET, MEN1 and CDKN1B genes. Accurate diagnosis of MEN subtypes can thus be performed through genetic testing. However, MEN variants remain largely understudied in Indian populations.

Cdk5-mediated oligodendrocyte myelin breakdown and neuroinflammation: Implications for the link between Type 2 Diabetes and Alzheimer's disease.

Oligodendrocytes, crucial myelinating glia in the central nervous system, play a vital role in maintaining axonal integrity and facilitating efficient nerve impulse conduction. The degradation of myelin in oligodendrocytes has been implicated in Alzheimer's disease (AD) and cognitive dysfunction. Interestingly, individuals with Type 2 Diabetes (T2D) have a significantly higher likelihood of developing cognitive impairment, possibly due to insulin resistance and glucose toxicity within the central nervous system (CNS).

Disentangling potential genotypes for macro and micro nutrients and polymorphic markers in Chickpea.

The present investigation was conducted to assess the nutritional diverseness and identify novel genetic resources to be utilized in chickpea breeding for macro and micro nutrients. The plants were grown in randomized block design. Nutritional and phytochemical properties of nine chickpea genotypes were estimated.

Understanding the roles and regulation of mitochondrial microRNAs (MitomiRs) in neurodegenerative diseases: Current status and advances.

MicroRNAs (miRNA) are a class of small non-coding RNA, roughly 21-22 nucleotides in length, which are master gene regulators. These miRNAs bind to the mRNA's 3' - untranslated region and regulate post-transcriptional gene regulation, thereby influencing various physiological and cellular processes. Another class of miRNAs known as mitochondrial miRNA (MitomiRs) has been found to either originate from the mitochondrial genome or be translocated directly into the mitochondria.
