Research Colloquium
Background: Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM), can arise from various causes, including hemodynamic pathology, infections, immunologic abnormalities, toxic injuries, and genetic factors. Determining the prevalence of NICM is challenging due to varying definitions and diagnostic criteria, selection bias, and geographic variation. MYBPC3 is the primary gene known to cause restrictive cardiomyopathy, dilated cardiomyopathy, and left ventricular non-compaction. This gene encodes cMyBP-C, a structural protein of the heart muscle that interacts with actin, myosin, and titin to maintain sarcomeric integrity. While loss-of-function mutations are common, MYBPC3 missense variants of uncertain significance (VUS) are also prevalent. Individuals with MYBPC3 missense VUS predicted to disrupt …

The chromosomes in multicellular eukaryotes are organized into a series of topologically independent loops called TADs. In flies, TADs are formed by physical interactions between neighboring boundaries. Fly boundaries exhibit distinct partner preferences, and pairing interactions between boundaries are typically orientation-dependent. Pairing can be head-to-tail or head-to-head. The former generates a stem-loop TAD, while the latter gives a circle-loop TAD. The TAD that encompasses the Drosophila even skipped (eve) gene is formed by the head-to-tail pairing of the nhomie and homie boundaries. To explore the relationship between loop topology and the physical and regulatory landscape, we flanked the nhomie boundary …

A Trna Modification Pattern That Facilitates Interpretation Of The Genetic Code, Isao Masuda, Ya-Ming Hou
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Faculty Papers
Interpretation of the genetic code from triplets of nucleotides to amino acids is fundamental to life. This interpretation is achieved by cellular tRNAs, each reading a triplet codon through its complementary anticodon (positions 34–36) while delivering the amino acid charged to its 3′-end. This amino acid is then incorporated into the growing polypeptide chain during protein synthesis on the ribosome. The quality and versatility of the interpretation is ensured not only by the codon-anticodon pairing, but also by the post-transcriptional modifications at positions 34 and 37 of each tRNA, corresponding to the wobble nucleotide at the first position of the …
Genetic Analysis Of Hereditary Gingival Fibromatosis Associated Sos1 Missense Variants Of Uncertain Significance In Caenorhabditis Elegans, Himani Patel
Theses
Hereditary gingival fibromatosis (HGF) is a disease that can present as benign overgrowth of gingival tissue in the mouth. The overgrowth can enclose the entire mouth and teeth in severe cases or present itself in a concentrated area. Researchers have identified that mutations in the SOS1 gene can be responsible for HGF. This disease can impair basic functions related to the mouth. Eating, smiling, speaking can all be affected. Additionally, excess inflammation can cause periodontal disease because of the difficulty in maintaining proper oral health. Periodontal disease can lead to severe bone loss which can lead to complete loss of …

Kinase fusion genes are the most active fusion gene group in human cancer fusion genes. To help choose the clinically significant kinase so that the cancer patients that have fusion genes can be better diagnosed, we need a metric to infer the assessment of kinases in pan-cancer fusion genes rather than relying on the sample frequency expressed fusion genes. Most of all, multiple studies assessed human kinases as the drug targets using multiple types of genomic and clinical information, but none used the kinase fusion genes in their study. The assessment studies of kinase without kinase fusion gene events can …
