Abstract

Ectrodactyly (split hand/split foot malformation, SHSF) is a human limb malformation characterized by absent central digital rays, deep median cleft, and syndactyly of remaining digits. The disorder is genetically heterogeneous, with at least two loci thus far determined: an autosomal locus at 7q21 designated SHFM1 and an X-linked locus at Xq26 designated SHFM2. Cytogenetic analysis of sporadic SHSF patients and linkage studies in extended pedigrees both suggest more than one autosomal locus exists. We report a novel SHSF locus suggested by a stillborn infant with ectrodactyly and other malformations who inherited an unbalanced translocation resulting in monosomy 4p15.1-4pter and trisomy for 10q25.2-qter. To investigate 10q25 as a possible split hand/split foot locus, microsatellite markers spanning 52 cM of 10q were utilized for linkage analysis of a large autosomal dominant SHSF pedigree in which the region encompassing SHFM1 previously was excluded as containing the causative mutation. The marker D10S583 was fully informative in the family, giving a maximum LOD score of 4.21 at recombination theta = 0.00. Recombination haplotypes define the 9 cM region between D10S541 and D10S574 as inclusive for this second autosomal SHSF l...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
