Allelic variants of the CYP2D6 gene, a member of the cytochrome P450 gene superfamily, have been implicated in susceptibility to lung carcinogenesis. Human breast CYP2D6 and CYP2D7P (from a pseudogene) mRNAs were previously reported to be expressed as a series of splice variants. In this study, the expression of full-length and splice variants of these mRNAs in human lung tissue and tumors are reported for the first time and are compared in order to probe the potential for differential CYP2D6 regulation in lung normal tissue and tumors. The splice variant profiles differed within the same individual, but no consistent differences were detected.

Effective Newborn Screening for Type 1 and 3 Primary Hyperoxaluria.

Introduction: Newborn screening (NBS) programs for a defined set of eligible diseases have been enormously successful, but genomic NBS allowing for detection of additional treatable disorders has not been broadly implemented. All 3 types of primary hyperoxaluria (PH1-3) are rare autosomal recessive diseases caused by distinct defects of glyoxylate metabolism that are diagnosed genetically with certainty. Early diagnosis and treatment are mandatory to avoid renal failure or sequalae associated with persistent hyperoxaluria.

Background And Hypothesis: Unlike X-linked or autosomal recessive Alport Syndrome, no clear genotype/phenotype correlation has yet been demonstrated in patients carrying a single variant of COL4A3 or COL4A4.
Methods: We carried out a multicenter retrospective study to assess the risk factors involved in renal survival in patients presenting a single pathogenic variant on COL4A3 or COL4A4.
Results: 97 patients presenting a single pathogenic variant of COL4A3 or COL4A4 were included.

The CDKN2A gene, responsible for encoding the tumor suppressors p16(INK4A) and p14(ARF), is frequently inactivated in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Herein, an uncharacterized long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) (ENSG00000267053) on chromosome 19p13.12 was found to be overexpressed in NSCLC cells with an active, wild-type CDKN2A gene.

Background And Objectives: Tibial muscular dystrophy (TMD) is an autosomal dominant, slowly progressive late-onset distal myopathy. TMD was first described in 1991 by Udd et al. in Finnish patients, who were later found to harbor a heterozygous unique 11-bp insertion/deletion in the last exon of the gene-the Finnish founder variant (FINmaj).

The pathogenicity of cholestatic liver diseases (CLDs) remains insufficiently characterized, hindering definitive diagnosis and timely treatment. The aim of this study was to improve the pathogenicity prediction of novel bile acid (BA) transporter variants in patients with CLDs. We analyzed the clinical characteristics and genetic profiles of a CLD cohort (n = 57) using multiple in silico tools and in vitro functional assays.
