Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is an autosomal recessive platelet functional bleeding disorder caused by mutations in the ITGA2B or ITGB3 genes, often presenting as mucocutaneous bleeding. GT typically presents in infancy, but this study reports a rare case of neonatal presentation in a female infant born to consanguineous parents. The mother, a 27-year-old woman with a family history of GT, presented at 36 weeks gestation for an elective cesarean due to a breech presentation.

Colon cancer remains a significant health burden globally, necessitating deeper investigation. Identification and targeting of prognostic markers can significantly improve the current therapeutic approaches for colon cancer. The differential nuclear transport (import and export) of cellular proteins, plays an important role in tumor progression.

The mutational landscape of TP53, a tumor suppressor mutated in about half of all cancers, includes over 2,000 known missense mutations. To fully leverage TP53 mutation status for personalized medicine, a thorough understanding of the functional diversity of these mutations is essential. We conducted a deep mutational scan using saturation genome editing with CRISPR-mediated homology-directed repair to engineer 9,225 TP53 variants in cancer cells.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) acyclovir (ACV) resistance is acquired by mutations in the viral thymidine kinase (TK) or DNA polymerase (DNApol) genes. We previously obtained an ACV-resistant clone (HSV-1_VZV_TK_clone α) by sequential passages of HSV-1_VZV-TK, a recombinant virus which lacked its endogenous TK activity and instead expressed the varicella-zoster virus (VZV) TK ectopically. HSV-1_VZV_TK_clone α had been generated using an HSV-1_BAC in the presence of increasing concentrations of ACV.

Background: αδ proteins regulate membrane trafficking and biophysical properties of voltage-gated calcium channels. Moreover, they modulate axonal wiring, synapse formation, and trans-synaptic signaling. Several rare missense variants in CACNA2D1 (coding for αδ-1) and CACNA2D3 (coding for αδ-3) genes were identified in patients with autism spectrum disorder (ASD).
