主要方法:

从受影响患者收集临床数据.
整体外基因组测序 (WES) 来识别遗传突变.
桑格测序以确认已识别的突变.

主要成果:

在UFC1 (c.19 C>T,p.Arg7*和c.164G>A,p.Arg55Gln) 中发现了一种新型化合物异构突变.
无意义突变 (p.Arg7*) 导致过早的蛋白质切断,并触发无意义介导的RNA衰变.
分子建模表明误解突变 (p.Arg55Gln) 可能会影响UFC1蛋白折叠. 神经发育迟缓,小头症和是已确认的表型.
根据ACMG指南,这些突变被归类为可能致病的.

Sex-linked Disorders

Sex-linked Disorders

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.

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...
