Abstract Very-early-onset inflammatory bowel disease (VEO-IBD) is a heterogeneous phenotype associated with spectrum of rare Mendelian disorders. Here, we perform whole-exome-sequencing and genome-wide genotyping in 145 patients (median age-at-diagnosis 3.5 years), whom no disorders were clinically suspected. In five detect primary immunodeficiency or enteropathy, clinical consequences ( XIAP, CYBA, SH2D1A, PCSK1 ). We also present case study VEO-IBD patient mosaic de novo, pathogenic allele...
Abstract Metabolic phenotypes are pivotal for many areas, but disentangling how evolutionary history and environmental adaptation shape these is an open problem. Especially microbes, which metabolically diverse often interact in complex communities, few can be determined directly. Instead, potential commonly inferred from genomic information, rarely were model-predicted employed beyond the species level. Here, we propose sensitivity correlations to quantify similarity of predicted metabolic...
Methylmalonyl-coenzyme A (CoA) mutase (MMUT)-type methylmalonic aciduria is a rare inherited metabolic disease caused by the loss of function MMUT enzyme. Patients develop symptoms resembling those primary mitochondrial disorders, but underlying causes dysfunction remain unclear. Here, we examined environmental and genetic interactions in deficiency using combination computational modeling cellular models to decipher pathways interacting with MMUT. Immortalized fibroblast (hTERT BJ5ta)...
The use of microfluidic technology represents a strong opportunity for providing sensitive, low-cost and rapid diagnosis at the point-of-care such might therefore support better, faster more efficient treatment patients home in healthcare settings both developed developing countries. In this work, we consider luminescence-based assays as an alternative to well-established fluorescence-based systems because luminescence does not require light source or expensive optical components is...
