Prior studies examining genomic variants suggest that some proteins contribute to both neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs) and cancer. While there are several potential etiologies, here, we hypothesize that missense variation in proteins occurs in different clustering patterns, resulting in distinct phenotypic outcomes. This concept was first explored in 1D protein space and expanded using 3D protein structure models.

Aims/hypothesis: An intronic variant (rs10830963) in MTNR1B (encoding the melatonin receptor type 2 [MT2]) has been shown to strongly associate with impaired glucose regulation and elevated type 2 diabetes prevalence. However, MTNR1B missense variants have shown conflicting results on type 2 diabetes. Thus, we aimed to gain further insights into the impact of MTNR1B coding variants on type 2 diabetes prevalence and related phenotypes.

Reliable estimates for the number of cancer patients with a specific mutation can help quantify the size of the population that could potentially benefit from a targeted therapy. We adapt our previously developed approach for estimating gene-level mutation abundances to estimate mutation-specific (e.g.

Auditory neuropathy is characterized by abnormal neural conduction in the auditory pathway despite normal outer hair cell function, exhibiting substantial genetic heterogeneity and phenotypic variability. We report the case of a 29-year-old male patient with hearing loss, bilateral enlargement of the vestibular aqueduct (EVA), and vestibular system dysfunction. Based on these features, which are tipically indicative of Pendred syndrome, a molecular investigation including the SLC26A4 gene was performed.
