Nucleic acid-sensing Toll-like receptors (TLR) 3, 7/8, and 9 are key innate immune sensors whose activities must be tightly regulated to prevent systemic autoimmune or autoinflammatory disease virus-associated immunopathology. Here, we report a systematic scanning-alanine mutagenesis screen of all cytosolic luminal residues the TLR chaperone protein UNC93B1, which identified both negative positive regulatory regions affecting TLR3, TLR7, TLR9 responses. We subsequently two families harboring...
ATP synthase, H+ transporting, mitochondrial F1 complex, δ subunit (ATP5F1D; formerly ATP5D) is a of synthase and plays an important role in coupling proton translocation production. Here, we describe two individuals, each with homozygous missense variants ATP5F1D, who presented episodic lethargy, metabolic acidosis, 3-methylglutaconic aciduria, hyperammonemia. Subject 1, for c.245C>T (p.Pro82Leu), recurrent decompensation starting the neonatal period, subject 2, c.317T>G (p.Val106Gly),...
SMARCC2 (BAF170) is one of the invariable core subunits ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling BAF (BRG1-associated factor) complex and plays a crucial role in embryogenesis corticogenesis. Pathogenic variants genes encoding other components have been associated with intellectual disability syndromes. Despite its significant biological role, not directly human disease previously. Using whole-exome sequencing web-based gene-matching program, we identified 15 individuals variable degrees...

To test the hypothesis that ROSAH (retinal dystrophy, optic nerve oedema, splenomegaly, anhidrosis and headache) syndrome, caused by dominant mutation in
Sonic hedgehog signaling regulates processes of embryonic development across multiple tissues, yet factors regulating context-specific Shh remain poorly understood. Exome sequencing families with polymicrogyria (disordered cortical folding) revealed individuals biallelic deleterious variants in TMEM161B , which encodes a multi-pass transmembrane protein unknown function. Tmem161b null mice demonstrated holoprosencephaly, craniofacial midline defects, eye and spinal cord patterning changes...
Abstract Sphingolipids are a diverse family of lipids with critical structural and signalling functions in the mammalian nervous system, where they abundant myelin membranes. Serine palmitoyltransferase, enzyme that catalyses rate-limiting reaction sphingolipid synthesis, is composed multiple subunits including an activating subunit, SPTSSA. both essential cytotoxic their synthesis must therefore be tightly regulated. Key to homeostatic regulation ORMDL proteins bound serine...
The mechanistic pathways that give rise to the extreme symptoms exhibited by rare disease patients are complex, heterogeneous, and difficult discern. Understanding these mechanisms is critical for developing treatments address underlying causes of diseases rather than merely presenting symptoms. Moreover, same dysfunctional series interrelated implicated in recessive may also lead milder potentially preventable carriers general population. Seizures a common phenotype can result from diverse...
Genomics and "medical sequencing" will revolutionize clinical laboratory diagnostics as the foundation for new era of personalized medicine. However, medical profession lags far behind technology business communities in recognizing preparing this change. Pathologists must take lead application genomics technologies, including whole-genome sequencing, to As a critical first step leading change, we have established first-in-the-nation resident curriculum Our goal is catalyze adoption similar...
