Background: Variants in the UQCRC1 gene have been proposed to cause autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease with neuropathy. However, definitive confirmation of UQCRC1 as an authentic Parkinson's gene remains elusive, as follow-up studies have not yet provided conclusive evidence.
Methods: 382 Austrian Parkinson's patients, particularly selected for familial and/or early onset cases, were Exome sequenced.
Results: We found three unrelated patients with a positive family history of the disease who shared the same rare missense variant in the UQCRC1 gene: c.1214G > T; p.(Gly405Val). The variant is very rare in the control population, with an allele frequency of 2 × 10 in the gnomAD database. None of the three patients carries a rare variant in a monogenic Parkinson's disease gene.
Conclusion: We suggest that UQCRC1 p.(Gly405Val) probably contributes to the development of the disease in these three patients. Our findings provide further evidence that UQCRC1 is a 'bona fide' Parkinson's disease gene.

Background: Although, oocytes from prepubertal donors are known to be less developmentally competent than those from adult donors it does not restrain their ability to produce full-term pregnancies. The transcriptomic profile of embryos could be used as a predictor for embryo's individual developmental competence. The aim of the study was to compare transcriptomic profile of blastocysts derived from prepubertal and pubertal heifers oocytes.

Background: Cervical cancer holds the highest morbidity and mortality rates among female reproductive tract tumors. However, the curative outcomes for patients with persistent, recurrent, or metastatic cervical cancer remain unsatisfactory. There is a lack of comprehensive prognostic indicators for cervical cancer.

Alterations in the expression of certain genes could be associated with both patient mortality rates and drug resistance. This study aimed to identify genes in colorectal cancer (CRC) that potentially serve as hub genes influencing patient survival rates. RNA-Seq data were downloaded from the cancer genome atlas database, and differential expression analysis was performed between tumors and healthy controls.

Mitochondrial ubiquinol-cytochrome c reductase core protein 1 (UQCRC1) gene has been identified as a causative gene for autosomal dominant Parkinson's disease (PD), with the p.Y314S variant potentially associated with polyneuropathy in PD patients. The objectives of our study were to screen for UQCRC1 variants in Chinese patients with early-onset PD (EOPD) and explore the role of UQCRC1 in EOPD.
