DOI: 10.1002/ana.26019
Abstract: The Mediator multiprotein complex functions as a regulator of RNA polymerase II–catalyzed gene transcription. In this study, exome sequencing detected biallelic putative disease‐causing variants in MED27, encoding Mediator complex subunit 27, in 16 patients from… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ana.26366
Abstract: OBJECTIVE Dominant spinocerebellar ataxias (SCA) are characterized by genetic heterogeneity. Some mapped and named loci remain without a causal gene identified. Here we applied next generation sequencing (NGS) to uncover the genetic etiology of the… read more here.

DOI: 10.1002/ana.26477
Abstract: NOTCH1 belongs to the NOTCH family of proteins that regulate cell fate and inflammatory responses. Somatic and germline NOTCH1 variants have been implicated in cancer, Adams‐Oliver syndrome, and cardiovascular defects. We describe 7 unrelated patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1007/s00415-019-09640-2
Abstract: Neurometabolic disorders are often inherited and complex disorders that result from abnormalities of enzymes important for development and function of the nervous system. Recently, biallelic mutations in NAXE ( APOA1BP ) were found in patients… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ajhg.2018.12.007
Abstract: ZMIZ1 is a coactivator of several transcription factors, including p53, the androgen receptor, and NOTCH1. Here, we report 19 subjects with intellectual disability and developmental delay carrying variants in ZMIZ1. The associated features include growth… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ajhg.2018.12.014
Abstract: SOX4, together with SOX11 and SOX12, forms group C of SRY-related (SOX) transcription factors. They play key roles, often in redundancy, in multiple developmental pathways, including neurogenesis and skeletogenesis. De novo SOX11 heterozygous mutations have… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s10038-021-00957-3
Abstract: Heterozygous variants in CLTC, which encode the clathrin heavy chain protein, cause neurodevelopmental delay of varying severity, and often accompanied by dysmorphic features, seizures, hypotonia, and ataxia. To date, 28 affected individuals with CLTC variants… read more here.

DOI: 10.1038/s41588-021-00886-z
Abstract: SPTBN1 encodes βII-spectrin, the ubiquitously expressed β-spectrin that forms micrometer-scale networks associated with plasma membranes. Mice deficient in neuronal βII-spectrin have defects in cortical organization, developmental delay and behavioral deficiencies. These phenotypes, while less severe,… read more here.

DOI: 10.3390/genes13061025
Abstract: Despite two decades of paraganglioma-pheochromocytoma research, the fundamental question of how the different succinate dehydrogenase (SDH)-related tumor phenotypes are initiated has remained unanswered. Here, we discuss two possible scenarios by which missense (hypomorphic alleles) or… read more here.
