Long-term induced Escherichia coli L-forms lose their rod shape and usually hold significant mutations that affect cell division and growth. Besides this, the genetic background of L-form bacteria is still poorly understood. In the present study...

... is converted to hydroxyl radicals ( • OH) via the Fenton reaction. H 2 O 2 and • OH radicals oxidize macromolecules, altering cellular signaling and oxidatively damaging DNA. This leads to gene mutations. The • OH radicals start lipid oxidation of alkyl (R • ) groups, which are oxidized to alkoxyl...

To determine the diagnosis and pathogenic mutations of this pedigree, whole exome sequencing, Sanger sequencing and real-time quantitative PCR were performed to detect all the four family members. Our results showed that a new form of compound heterozygous mutation in the PRKN gene, consisting of heterozygous...

...) of a single generation (of 3 alive generations) in this family. On pedigree analysis and sequencing of their mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA), a novel homoplasmic mutation of the mitochondrial tRNA Cys gene (5802A>G) was identified in these individuals. This mutation correlated with a destabilized conserved base...

... gene ( BRCA1 ) and the breast cancer 2 gene ( BRCA2 ) are the two most-studied BC susceptibility genes. Genetic testing for disease-causing mutations in BRCA1, BRCA2 , and other BC susceptibility genes is strongly recommended for members of families having a BC family history. The present study found...

Mutations in the EPAS1 coding sequence are associated with several kinds of human diseases, including syndromic congenital heart...

..., impracticality of repeated biopsies, and cancer biomarker fallibility. Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) has recently been investigated as a non-invasive way to gain representative gene mutations in tumors, in addition to monitoring disease progression and response to treatment. We analyzed ctDNA mutations...

...Zhiying Ou; Guangjian Liu; Wenping Liu; Yehua Deng; Ling Zheng; Shu Zhang; Guangqiang Feng Primary congenital glaucoma (PCG) is an inherited blinding eye disease. The CYP1B1 gene was identified as a causal gene for PCG, and many mutations have been found, but no studies have focussed...

.... It eventually leads to tunnel vision and legal or total blindness. Here, we aimed to reveal the causal gene and mutation contributing to the development of autosomal recessive RP (arRP) in a consanguineous family. A novel homozygous mutation, c.4845delT (p.K1616Rfs*46), in the ATP-binding cassette subfamily...

Several mutations have been identified from the MODY patients and, among these, point mutations can be very instructive site-specific measures of protein function and structure. Thus, in the present study, we probed the functional effects of the two MODY point...
