Abstract

The causative relationship between several of the syndromic forms of craniosynostosis and mutations in the fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGFR) loci is now well established. However, within the group of patients with craniosynostosis, there are several families and sporadic cases whose clinical features differ in variable degrees from the classically described syndromes of craniosynostosis. In this communication we present novel FGFR2 mutations associated with a spectrum of craniosyostosis phenotypes in 4 sporadic cases and in one family in which craniosynostosis segregates. The mutation and phenotype data presented emphasise the clinical variability of mutations at this locus and underline the plasticity of the phenotype-genotype relationship in this important group of congenital malformation syndromes. Mutations found were tyrosine 105 to cysteine, glycine 338 to glutamic acid, serine 351 to cysteine and glycine 384 to arginine. These are the first reported mutations in the first immunoglobulin-like loop (tyrosine 105 to cysteine) and the transmembrane domain (glycine 384 to arginine) of FGFR2, providing further insights into the mechanism of abnormal receptor function in FGFR2 mutations.

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.
