We report on a Mexican mestizo with a multisystemic syndrome including neurological involvement and a type I serum transferrin isoelectric focusing (Tf IEF) pattern. Diagnosis of PMM2-CDG was obtained by clinical exome sequencing (CES) that revealed compound heterozygous variants in the encoding gene for the phosphomannomutase 2 (PMM2). This enzyme catalyzes the conversion of mannose-6-P to mannose-1-P required for the synthesis of GDP-Man and Dol-P-Man, donor substrates for glycosylation reactions. The identified variants were c.422G>A (R141H) and c.178G>T, the former being the most frequent pathogenic mutation and the latter a previously uncharacterized variant restricted to the Latino population with conflicting interpretations of pathogenicity and that we here report causes leaky non-functional alternative splicing (p.V60Cfs*3).

The abnormal development of urate granules in silkworm larvae leads to translucent mutants with a distinct transparent phenotype. Studies on such mutants are expected to enhance current understanding of uric acid metabolism. The hoarfrost translucent (oh) mutant exhibits a mottled, translucent larval integument due to the presence of smaller and irregularly shaped urate granules compared to wild-type individuals.

Article Synopsis
- * Diagnosis was confirmed through endomyocardial biopsy revealing zebra bodies in heart cells, and additional tests showed a specific deep intronic variant affecting the GLA gene and leading to a non-functional truncated protein.
- * The findings suggest that not only is the truncated protein non-functional, but it also inhibits the normal GLA protein's function, emphasizing the need to identify deep intronic mutations for better understanding and treatment of Fabry disease.

Purpose: Recurrence is the main cause of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) related deaths. Underlying recurrence biology can be better understood by comparative analysis of the complete set of transcripts between recurrent and non-recurrent HCC. In this study, transcriptomic data (GSE56545) from 21 male patients diagnosed with either recurrent or non-recurrent HCC were reanalyzed to identify deregulated pathways, somatic mutations, fusion transcripts, alternative splicing events, and the immune context in recurrent HCC.

Bedaquiline (BDQ) is crucial for the treatment of rifampicin-resistant tuberculosis, yet resistance threatens its effectiveness, mainly linked to mutations in the () gene. While frameshift mutations are thought to produce non-functional proteins, we hypothesize that they can result in conserved proteins through late-stop codons or alternative reading frames and remain BDQ susceptible. We extracted 512 isolates harboring frameshift mutations in from the World Health Organization (WHO) catalog and 68 isolates with minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) in mycobacterial growth indicator tube (MGIT) through a literature review.

The spliceosome is a megadalton protein-RNA complex which removes introns from pre-mRNA, yet the dynamic early assembly steps have not been structurally resolved. Specifically, how the spliceosome selects the correct 3' splice site (3'SS) amongst highly similar non-functional sites is not known. Here, we develop a kinetic model of splice site selection based on single-molecule U2AF heterodimer imaging and .
