Introduction: Hemophilia A is an inherited bleeding disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the factor VIII gene (F8), which leads to factor VIII (FVIII) deficiency. Immune tolerance induction (ITI) is a therapeutic approach to eradicate alloantibodies (inhibitors) against exogenous FVIII in people with inherited hemophilia A. Few studies have evaluated the role of F8 variants on ITI outcome.

Article Synopsis
  • Small GTPases are a large family of proteins that play essential roles in cell processes like migration and growth, making them important for cell signaling.
  • A standardized method to control the activation of these proteins in living cells has been lacking, which this study addresses.
  • The researchers developed a split-protein technique that allows for direct activation of various small GTPases using customizable inputs, creating a versatile system for studying these proteins in real-time.

CDKL5 deficiency disorder (CDD) is an X-linked dominant epileptic encephalopathy, characterized by early-onset and drug-resistant seizures, psychomotor delay, and slight facial features. Genomic variants inactivating or impairing its protein product kinase activity have been reported, making next-generation sequencing (NGS) and chromosomal microarray analysis (CMA) the standard diagnostic tests. We report a suspicious case of CDD in a female child who tested negative upon NGS and CMA and harbored an X chromosome de novo pericentric inversion.
