With its 2,214 amino acids and its dynamic lifestyle as an endosomal recycling receptor, SORL1 is rife with opportunities for mutations that could thwart its function. The size and splendor of this ...
In genomes, three letters or bases of DNA encode an amino acid. Amino acids are then strung together by the cell to create proteins. There is some redundancy in that genetic code, but there are single ...
“Most diagnosed SYNGAP1-Related Disorder (SRD) patients have protein truncating variants (PTV) as opposed to missense variants. Virtually all PTVs are assumed to have the same impact at the molecular ...
Dr. Courtney states, “When the SYNGAP1 gene encodes a truncation, caused by a nonsense, frame-shift or other mutation, loss of SynGAP1 protein results in disease. But what happens when there is a ...
About 10 years ago, Žiga Avsec was a PhD physics student who found himself taking a crash course in genomics via a university module on machine learning. He was soon working in a lab that studied rare ...
Relationship Among DNA Damage Response Gene Alterations, Molecular Subtypes, and Survival Outcomes in Patients With Metastatic Bladder Cancer Treated on CALGB 90601 Sequencing data from 56,965 ...
Researchers have performed a wide-scale characterization of missense variants from 1,330 disease-associated genes. The study identifies features associated with pathogenic and benign variants that ...
