Rapid access to genetic discoveries underlying human disease
This month Cold Spring Harbor Molecular Case Studies unveils a new article type, Rapid Communications, for the dissemination of novel genetic variants and/or novel phenotypes in known genes discovered in patients fromgenetic and genomic sequencing.With the regular identification of novel variants in patients with rare diseases, an efficient mechanism to define the spectrum of variation and the ...
متن کاملRapid diagnostic test for the major mutation underlying Batten disease.
Batten disease is the most common progressive neurodegenerative disorder of childhood in western countries. A novel cDNA responsible for Batten disease has recently been identified. We have developed a rapid diagnostic solid phase minisequencing test to detect the major 1.02 kb deletion which is responsible for 81% of affected chromosomes in Batten disease worldwide. In Finland, 90% of Batten c...
متن کاملA Drosophila Genetic Resource of Mutants to Study Mechanisms Underlying Human Genetic Diseases
Invertebrate model systems are powerful tools for studying human disease owing to their genetic tractability and ease of screening. We conducted a mosaic genetic screen of lethal mutations on the Drosophila X chromosome to identify genes required for the development, function, and maintenance of the nervous system. We identified 165 genes, most of whose function has not been studied in vivo. In...
متن کاملGenetics of hypertension: discoveries from the bench to human populations.
Hypertension is a complex trait that is influenced by both heritable and environmental factors. The search for genes accounting for the susceptibility to hypertension has driven parallel efforts in human research and in research using experimental animals in controlled environmental settings. Evidence from rodent models of genetic hypertension and human Mendelian forms of hypertension and hypot...
متن کاملMonument to the discoveries.
A week ago I was standing with my wife by the River Tagus in Lisbon, next to the Monument to the Discoveries. The monument is at the spot where Vasco da Gama set out to discover the southeast passage from Europe to Asia, past the Cape of Good Hope. Vasco’s discovery marked the beginning of the Portuguese maritime empire. At the furthest tip of Europe, Portugal was perfectly situated to found su...
