Conventional ECG-based algorithms could contribute to sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk stratification but demonstrate moderate predictive capabilities. Deep learning (DL) models use the entire digital signal and potentially improve power. We aimed train validate a 12 lead DL algorithm for SCD assessment.

The murine Abcg1 gene is reported to consist of 15 exons that encode a single mRNA (herein referred as Abcg1-a) and protein. We now demonstrate (i) the contains two additional coding downstream exon 1, (ii) transcription involves use multiple promoters, (iii) RNA undergoes alternative splicing reactions. As result, three mRNAs are expressed putative protein isoforms differ at their amino terminus. ABCG1 transcripts induced in vivo tissues response liver X receptor ligand T0901317....

Abstract MicroRNA (miRNA) expression is tightly regulated by several mechanisms, including transcription and cleavage of the miRNA precursor RNAs, to generate a mature miRNA, which thought be directly correlated with activity. MiR-34 tumour-suppressor important in cell survival, that transcriptionally upregulated p53 response DNA damage. Here, we show for first time there pool miR-34 cells lacks 5′-phosphate inactive. Following exposure DNA-damaging stimulus, inactive rapidly activated...

The functional consequences of missense variants are often difficult to predict. This becomes especially relevant when DNA sequence changes used determine a diagnosis or prognosis. To analyze the 12 in patients with mild forms ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T), we employed site-directed mutagenesis mutated (ATM) cDNA followed by stable transfections into single A-T cell line isolate effects each allele on cellular phenotype. After induction transfected cells CdCl2, monitored for successful ATM...

Introduction: At least 50% of individuals who suffer sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) experience warning symptoms before their SCA. We have previously reported chest pain and dyspnea as the most common potentially predictive symptoms. Combining with clinical features could improve sensitivity specificity for prediction imminent SCA (ISCA). Hypothesis: A combination profiles can predict ISCA. Methods: From two community-based studies in Oregon California, we conducted a case-control study. Cases...

ATM plays a critical role in cellular responses to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). We describe new ATM–mediated DSB–induced damage response pathway involving microRNA (miRNA): irradiation (IR)-induced DSBs activate ATM, which leads the downregulation of miR-335, miRNA that targets CtIP, is an important trigger end resection homologous recombination repair (HRR). demonstrate CREB responsible for large portion miR-335 expression by binding promoter region miR-335. greatly reduced after IR,...

<h3>Importance</h3> Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) is a major public health problem. Owing to lack of population-based studies in multiracial/multiethnic communities, little information available regarding race/ethnicity-specific epidemiologic factors SCA. <h3>Objective</h3> To evaluate the association race/ethnicity with burden, outcomes, and clinical profile individuals experiencing <h3>Design, Setting, Participants</h3> A 5-year prospective, cohort study out-of-hospital SCA was conducted...

A recent challenge for investigators studying the progressive neurological disease ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) is to identify mutations whose effects might be alleviated by mutation-targeted therapies. We studied ATM in eight families of Japanese A-T patients (JPAT) and were able all 16 mutations. The probands compound heterozygotes seven families, one (JPAT2) was homozygous a frameshift mutation. All mutations—four frameshift, two nonsense, four large genomic deletions, six affecting...

The ability to use a vital cell marker study mouse embryogenesis will open new avenues of experimental research. Recently, the transgenic mice, containing multiple copies jellyfish gene encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP), has begun realize this potential. Here, we show that signals produced by single-copy, targeted GFP in-frame fusions with two different murine Hox genes, Hoxa1 and Hoxc13, are readily detectable using confocal microscopy. Since is expressed early Hoxc13 late in...

The study of rare human syndromes characterized by radiosensitivity has been instrumental in identifying novel proteins and pathways involved DNA damage responses to ionizing radiation. In the present study, a mutation mitochondrial poly-A-polymerase (MTPAP), not previously recognized for its role response, was identified exome sequencing subsequently associated with cellular radiosensitivity. Cell lines derived from two patients homozygous MTPAP missense were radiosensitive, this could be...

Abstract We studied 10 Mennonite patients who carry the c.6200C&gt;A missense mutation (p.A2067D) in ATM gene, all of whom exhibited a phenotypic variant ataxia‐telangiectasia (A‐T) that is characterized by early‐onset dystonia and late‐onset mild ataxia, as previously described. This report provides pathogenetic evidence for this on cellular functions. Several have developed cancer subsequently experienced life‐threatening adverse reactions to radiation (radiotoxicity) and/or chemotherapy....
