Sex-linked Disorders01:43

Sex-linked Disorders

102.5K
Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

Inborn Errors of Metabolism01:20

Inborn Errors of Metabolism

209
Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a protein metabolism disorder characterized by high blood levels of the amino acid phenylalanine. This results from a mutation in the gene responsible for phenylalanine hydroxylase, an enzyme that converts phenylalanine into tyrosine. When this enzyme is deficient, phenylalanine builds up in the blood, leading to symptoms such as vomiting, rashes, seizures, growth deficiency, and severe mental retardation. An early diagnosis and a diet restricting phenylalanine intake...

Translation

Lesson: Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
Translation Produces the Building Blocks of...

Exon Recombination02:32

Exon Recombination

3.6K
The evolution of new genes is critical for speciation. Exon recombination, also known as exon shuffling or domain shuffling, is an important means of new gene formation. It is observed across vertebrates, invertebrates, and in some plants such as potatoes and sunflowers. During exon recombination, exons from the same or different genes recombine and produce new exon-intron combinations, which might evolve into new genes. 
Exon shuffling follows “splice frame rules.” Each exon...

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance02:30

Genomic Imprinting and Inheritance

34.8K
Diploid organisms inherit genetic material through chromosomes from both parents. Copies of the same gene are known as alleles. In most cases, both alleles are simultaneously expressed and allow various cellular processes to function optimally. If one of the alleles is missing or mutated, the expression of the other allele can compensate; however, this is not true for all genes.
The expression of some genes depends on which parent passed the gene to the offspring, through a phenomenon known as...

Summary

Autosomal-recessive ZNF341 deficiency causes hyper-IgE syndrome (HIES) by impairing STAT3 regulation. This genetic condition presents similarly to dominant STAT3 deficiency but is typically milder, offering new insights into HIES pathogenesis.

Area of Science:

  • Immunology
  • Genetics
  • Molecular Biology

Background:

  • Typical hyper-IgE syndromes (HIES) are linked to STAT3 or IL6ST gene variants.
  • Autosomal-recessive ZNF341 deficiency is a rare cause of HIES, with limited reported cases.
  • ZNF341 deficiency shares features with autosomal-dominant STAT3 deficiency but is generally milder.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review current knowledge on ZNF341 gene and deficiency.
  • To explore the pathophysiological mechanisms of ZNF341 deficiency in HIES.
  • To discuss potential additional roles of ZNF341 beyond STAT3 regulation.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of ZNF341 deficiency and HIES.
  • Analysis of clinical and immunological phenotypes in ZNF341-deficient patients.
  • Examination of STAT3 expression and regulation in ZNF341-deficient cells.

Main Results:

  • ZNF341 deficiency leads to reduced basal STAT3 levels and impaired STAT3 autoinduction in lymphocytes.
  • This dysregulation of STAT3 is considered the likely mechanism for HIES in ZNF341 deficiency.
  • Patients exhibit phenotypes similar to STAT3 deficiency but with lower Natural Killer (NK) cell counts and milder symptoms.

Conclusions:

  • ZNF341 plays a crucial role in regulating STAT3 activity, essential for normal immune function.
  • Impaired STAT3 autoinduction, not just reduced basal levels, is key to the HIES phenotype in ZNF341 deficiency.
  • Further research into ZNF341's functions may reveal additional therapeutic targets for immune disorders.
