Lung cancer is a lethal malignancy lacking effective therapies. Emerging evidence suggests that epigenetic enzyme mutations are closely related to the malignant phenotype of lung cancer. Here, we iden...
Gain-of-function mutations in the STAT1 gene have been initially associated with chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis. However, further research has shown that STAT1 GOF variants may increase susceptibil...
The JAK/STAT signaling pathway plays a key role in cytokine signaling and is involved in development, immunity, and tumorigenesis for nearly any cell. At first glance, the JAK/STAT signaling pathway a...
Somatic mutations occurring on key enzymes are extensively studied and targeted therapies are developed with clinical promises. However, context-dependent enzyme function through distinct substrates c...
Loss-of-function variants in SCN1A cause Dravet syndrome, the most common genetic developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (DEE). However, emerging evidence suggests separate entities of SCN1A-relat...
Individuals carrying the recurrent SCN1A p.R1636Q variant were identified through diagnostic testing. Whole cell voltage-clamp electrophysiological recording in HEK-293 T cells was performed to compar...
All four individuals had an early onset DEE characterized by focal tonic seizures and additional seizure types starting in the first few weeks of life. Electrophysiological analysis showed a mixed gai...
The recurrent SCN1A p.R1636Q variant causes a clinical entity with a wider clinical spectrum than previously reported, characterized by neonatal onset epilepsy and absence of prominent movement disord...
Orbital cavernous venous malformation (OCVM) is a sporadic vascular anomaly of uncertain etiology characterized by abnormally dilated vascular channels. Here, we identify a somatic missense mutation, ...
Activated phosphoinositide 3 kinase (PI3K) -delta syndrome (APDS) is an inborn error of immunity with variable clinical phenotype of immunodeficiency and immune dysregulation and caused by gain-of-fun...
To explore unique B cell subsets and the pathomechanisms driving B cell dysregulation beyond the transitional B cell stage in APDS....
Clinical and immunological data was collected from 24 patients with APDS. In five cases, we performed an in-depth analysis of B cell phenotypes and cultured purified naïve B cells to evaluate their su...
The patients had increased B cell sizes and higher proportions of IgM...
The present study suggests additional mechanistic insight into B cell pathology of APDS: (1) decreased peripheral B cell numbers may be due to the increased death of naïve B cells; (2) larger B cell s...
Gain-of-function mutations of dynamin-2, a mechano-GTPase that remodels membrane and actin filaments, cause centronuclear myopathy (CNM), a congenital disease that mainly affects skeletal muscle tissu...
