Mutations in TBC1D24 have been linked to a variety of epileptic syndromes and recently syndromic hearing impairment DOORS syndrome nonsyndromic DFNB86. All mutations reported so far were inherited the recessive mode. In dominant family segregated with late-onset, progressive, impairment, linkage analysis revealed 2.07 Mb candidate region on chromosome 16p13.3 that contains TBC1D24. Whole-exome sequencing identified heterozygous p.Ser178Leu variant as only mutation segregating loss within...
Expediting the torpid kinetics of acidic oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a crucial yet formidable challenge toward advancing proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) for commercialization. The cutting-edge Pd-based nanomaterials ORR are hindered by their low intrinsic activities and significant CO poisoning, stemming from simultaneously optimizing surface adsorption various adsorbates. Herein, we introduce an ultrathin PdRhCu ternary metallene (PdRhCu metallene) boosting in PEMFC....
Exploring high-performance non-precious metal-based electrocatalysts for the sluggish oxygen evolution reaction (OER) process is fundamentally significant development of multifarious renewable energy conversion and storage systems.

Nonsyndromic hearing loss has been shown to have high genetic heterogeneity. In this report, we aimed disclose the causes of subjects from ten Chinese deaf families who did not pathogenic common genes/mutation. Next-generation sequencing (NGS) 142 known deafness genes was performed in probands followed by cosegregation analysis all family members. We identified novel variants six including p.D1806E/p.R1588W, p.R964W/p.R1588W, and p.G17C/p.G1449D CDH23; p.T584M/p.D1939N LOXHD1; p.P1225L...
Apoptosis of cochlear hair cells is a key step towards age-related hearing loss. Although numerous genes have been implicated in the genetic causes late-onset, progressive loss, few show direct links to proapoptotic process. By genome-wide linkage analysis and whole exome sequencing, we identified heterozygous p.L183V variant THOC1 as probable cause progressive, non-syndromic loss large family with autosomal dominant inheritance. Thoc1, member conserved multisubunit THO/TREX...
There is a pressing need to further our understanding of the mechanisms underlying depression symptoms in patients with post-stroke (PSD) order inform targeted therapeutic approaches. While previous research has demonstrated reorganization functional brain network PSD, it remains uncertain whether, or not also occurs structural network. We therefore aim investigate PSD as compared non-depression (PSND) patients. In addition, considers relationship between metrics and measurements. Thirty-one...
