Introduction: Paroxysmal exercise-induced dyskinesia (PED) is characterized by repeated episodes of involuntary movement disorders that are typically caused by prolonged walking or running and mostly caused by SLC2A1 gene mutations. Phenotypes vary from focal dystonia, ataxia, tremor, and complex non-kinesigenic movements to other movement disorders in patients with SLC2A1 mutation. Also, SLC2A1 mutations carriers may present with also other phenotypes such as epileptic seizure and migraine.
Case Reports: We report five patients with various phenotypic spectrums of PED in a Turkish family. Whole exome sequencing revealed a likely pathogenic synonymous variant p.Ser324Ser (c.972G > A) in the SLC2A1 gene (ENST00000426263.3) and the variant segregated in all affected family members. Also, other than PED, the phenotypical spectrum of affected individuals in this family includes epilepsy, mental retardation, and weakness.
Conclusions: We concluded that family members with the same SLC2A1 gene mutation may show very heterogenous phenotypes. Clinicians should be aware of wide variety of symptoms of the patients with PED. We also emphasized that even if a mutation in the coding sequence does not make an amino acid change, it may cause the disease.

Background: Liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS) is essential for the formation of membraneless organelles and significantly influences cellular compartmentalization, chromatin remodeling, and gene regulation. Previous research has highlighted the critical function of liquid-liquid biopolymers in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC).
Methods: This study conducted a comprehensive review of 3,685 liquid-liquid biopolymer regulators, leading to the development of a LLPS related Prognostic Risk Score (LPRS) for HCC through bootstrap-based univariate Cox, Random Survival Forest (RSF), and LASSO analyses.
Ferroptosis, an iron-dependent form of programmed cell death driven by oxidative stress, plays a crucial role in the progression of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Aging diminishes antioxidant systems that maintain iron homeostasis, particularly affecting the glutathione peroxidase (GPX) system, leading to increased ferroptosis and exacerbated neurodegeneration and neuroinflammation in AD. Nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) is a key transcription factor regulating genes involved in antioxidant defense and ferroptosis.

Background: Dysregulated energy metabolism has emerged as a defining hallmark of cancer, particularly evident in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC). Distinct from other breast cancer subtypes, TNBC exhibits heightened glycolysis and aggressiveness. However, the transcriptional mechanisms of aerobic glycolysis in TNBC remains poorly understood.

Squamous cell carcinomas (SCC) are often preceded by potentially malignant precursor lesions, most of which remain benign. The terminal exhaustion phenotypes of effector T-cells and the accumulation of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSC) have been thoroughly characterized in established SCC. However, it is unclear what precancerous lesions harbor a bona fide high risk for malignant transformation and how precancerous epithelial dysplasia drives the immune system to the point of no return.

Left-handed G-quadruplexes (LHG4s) belong to a class of recently discovered noncanonical DNA structures under the larger umbrella of G-quadruplex DNAs (G4s). The biological relevance of these structures and their ability to be targeted with classical G4 ligands is underexplored. Here, we explore whether the putative LHG4 DNA sequence from the SLC2A1 oncogene promoter maintains its left-handed characteristics upon addition of nucleotides in the 5'- and 3'-direction from its genomic context.
