Signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1) gene mutations have broad clinical phenotypes, classified by the inheritance pattern and functional state. Individuals with autosomal dominant STAT1 deficiency are more susceptible to intracellular bacteria, the hallmark of which is Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMDs) that are associated with increased risks of invasive disease by weakly virulent mycobacteria. We report a novel heterozygous missense mutation in exon 23 of the STAT1 gene (NM_007315.

Article Synopsis
  • Chronic anterior uveitis (CAU) can cause serious eye problems, so doctors created treatment plans to help kids with it.
  • The study looked at how these treatment plans worked for kids with a type of arthritis-related eye condition, tracking their medicine and eye health over time.
  • Results showed that most kids had good control of their uveitis after six months, and both treatment plans were successfully used in real-life doctor visits.

Robotic Vagus-Sparing Total Gastrectomy for CDH1 Gene Mutation Treatment.

J Vis Exp

December 2023

Saint George and Sutherland Clinical School, Faculty of Medicine, The University of New South Wales.

Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer (HDGC) caused by the CDH1 gene mutation is an inherited cancer syndrome that increases the risk of diffuse gastric cancer and is nearly impossible to detect by screening gastroscopy. The recommended preventative treatment is a total gastrectomy. Robotic surgery facilitates the use of minimally invasive surgical (MIS) techniques for anastomoses and posterior vagus preservation to potentially reduce adverse functional outcomes.

Lymphocyte-specific protein tyrosine kinase (LCK) is essential for T cell antigen receptor (TCR)-mediated signal transduction. Here, we report two siblings homozygous for a novel LCK variant (c.1318C>T; P440S) characterized by T cell lymphopenia with skewed memory phenotype, infant-onset recurrent infections, failure to thrive, and protracted diarrhea.
