Synthetic lethality offers a robust strategy for discovering the next generation of precision medicine therapies tailored for molecularly defined patient populations. MAT2A inhibition is synthetically lethal in several cancers that exhibit a homozygous deletion of -methyl-5'-thioadenosine phosphorylase (MTAP). Herein, we report the identification of novel MAT2A inhibitors featuring a spiral ring to circumvent the C-N atropisomeric chirality utilizing structure-based drug design.

Background: Oculodentodigital dysplasia (ODDD) is a rare syndrome that causes a constellation of facial, ophthalmic, dental, and limb abnormalities. Variants in the gap junction alpha-1 () gene have been described in patients with ODDD. Hereby we present the ocular manifestations in a patient with recessive ODDD due to a novel homozygous frameshift variant in .

While many genetic tools exist for zebrafish, this animal model still lacks robust gene-silencing and microRNA-delivery technologies enabling spatio-temporal control and traceability. We have recently demonstrated that engineered pri-miR backbones can trigger stable gene knockdown and/or express microRNA(s) of choice in this organism. However, this miRNA-expressing technology presents important limitations.

One gene with an excess of protein-coding variants is that also is the gene underlying the Hypotonia, Ataxia, and Delayed Development Syndrome (HADDS). In previous work, we have identified noncoding variants in an enhancer of called hs737 and further showed that there was an enrichment of deletions of this enhancer in individuals with neurodevelopmental disorders.

Host expansion facilitates tephritid flies to expand their ranges. Unraveling the mechanisms of host expansion will help to efficiently control these pests. Our previous works showed mitochondrial complex I genes Ndufs1, Ndufs3, and Ndufa7 being upregulated during host expansion of Bactrocera tau (Walker), one of the highly hazardous species of tephritids.
