X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) is the most common form of the ectodermal dysplasias characterized by an abnormal development of eccrine sweat glands, hair and teeth. Pathogenic mutations in the ED1 gene have been identified. In this family, a 22-bp deletion mutation of exon 8 in the ED1 gene was found in the affected members but not in the healthy individuals and 100 unrelated controls. We add new variant to the knowledge of ED1 mutations in XLHED.

Thiamine (vitamin B1) is essential for glucose catabolism. In the yeast species, Nakaseomyces glabratus (formerly Candida glabrata) and Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the transcription factor Pdc2 (with Thi3 and Thi2) upregulates pyruvate decarboxylase (PDC) genes and thiamine biosynthetic and acquisition (THI) genes during starvation. There have not been genome-wide analyses of Pdc2 binding.

Expanding the genetic and phenotypic relevance of CLCN4 variants in neurodevelopmental condition: 13 new patients.

J Neurol

August 2024

Institute of Biological Information Processing (IBI-1), Molecular and Cell Physiology, Jülich Research Center, Jülich, Germany.

Objectives: CLCN4 variations have recently been identified as a genetic cause of X-linked neurodevelopmental disorders. This study aims to broaden the phenotypic spectrum of CLCN4-related condition and correlate it with functional consequences of CLCN4 variants.

Methods: We described 13 individuals with CLCN4-related neurodevelopmental disorder.

The high-mobility group AT-hook 2() gene has been widely studied in the context of cancer and animal growth. However, recently, several studies have uncovered its critical role in cell proliferation. A genome-wide association study (GWAS) further suggests that the gene is a candidate gene in fertility, indicating its connection not only to growth traits but also to reproduction, specifically ovarian traits.

Developing mouse models of hemophilia A has been shown to facilitate studies to explore the probable mechanism(s) underlying the disease and to examine the efficiency of the relevant potential therapeutics. This study aimed to knockout (KO) the gene in NMRI mice, using CRISPR/Cas9 (D10A/nickase) system, to generate a mouse model of hemophilia A. Two single guide RNAs (sgRNAs), designed from two distinct regions on NMRI mouse exon 3, were designed and inserted in the pX335 vector, expressing both sgRNAs and nickase.

Cytoplasmic male sterility (CMS) is predominantly used for F1 hybrid breeding and seed production in . DNA markers to distinguish between normal fertile (CMS-N) and sterile (CMS-S) male cytoplasm can facilitate F1 hybrid cultivar development in breeding programs. In this study, the complete chloroplast (cp) genome sequences of CMS-S and Korean cultivars were obtained using next-generation sequencing.
