The novel neurological mutant Cincinatti arose by genomic duplication of exon 5 in the glycine receptor gene Glra1. The mutant transcript results in premature protein truncation. A direct repeat of the pentamer GGGGC is present adjacent to the breakpoints and may have mediated the duplication event by a replication slippage mechanism.

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.

Early-onset Myopathy, Areflexia, Respiratory Distress and Dysphagia (EMARDD) is a congenital neuromuscular disease with a progressive muscle weakness, respiratory failure, joint contractures, and scoliosis without any symptoms of functional brain anomalies caused by variants in the MEGF10 gene. Here, we report the clinical phenotype and genetic features of a Moroccan patient who carries a novel variant associated with EMARDD on the MEGF10 gene. The Whole Exome Sequencing analysis conducted on a 11 year old boy with respiratory and swallowing difficulties revealed the presence of the novel variant c.

Background & Aims: The ubiquitin receptor ADRM1/Rpn13 governs the specificity of eukaryotic protein degradation. By SMRT sequencing, we first discovered a novel spliced variant of ADRM1 with a skipped exon 9, termed ADRM1-ΔEx9, in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study aimed to elucidate this novel ubiquitin receptor's underlying biology and clinical implications in HCC.

Background: loss of function manifests across a broad spectrum of phenotypes, ranging from severe prenatal onset to asymptomatic cases. Bilateral periventricular nodular heterotopia (BPNH) consistently occurs in affected individuals. This retrospective study involving French patients with BPNH evaluates the prevalence of gene dosage anomalies and investigates genotype-phenotype correlations in a large cohort of French patients with BPNH.

partial tandem duplication (PTD) involves intragenic duplications and has been associated with poorer prognosis. In this study, we evaluated PTD in 1277 patients with hematological malignancies using optical genome mapping (OGM). PTD was detected in 35 patients with acute myeloid leukemia (AML) (7%), 5 patients with myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) (2.
