Human telomeric protein TRF2 associates with genomic double-strand breaks as an early response to DNA damage

- 23 January 2005
This work shows that TRF2 associates with photo-induced DSBs in nontelomeric DNA in human fibroblasts within 2 s of irradiation and inhibits DSB-induced phosphorylation of ATM signaling targets, and implicates TRf2 in an initial stage of DSB recognition and processing that occurs before association of ATM with D SBs and activation of the ATM-dependent DSB response network.

The Bloom syndrome helicase BLM interacts with TRF2 in ALT cells and promotes telomeric DNA synthesis.

- 1 December 2002
The results identify BLM as the first protein found to affect telomeric DNA synthesis exclusively in human ALT cells and suggest that BLM facilitates recombination-driven amplification of telomeres in ALt cells.

Among a heterogeneous sample of children with ASD, the molecular diagnostic yields of CMA and WES were comparable, and the combined molecular diagnostic yield was higher in children with more complex morphological phenotypes in comparison with the children in the essential category.
Mirror extreme BMI phenotypes associated with gene dosage at the chromosome 16p11.2 locus

The reciprocal impact of these 16p11.2 copy-number variants indicates that severe obesity and being underweight could have mirror aetiologies, possibly through contrasting effects on energy balance.
PhenoTips: Patient Phenotyping Software for Clinical and Research Use
- M. Gîrdea, Sergiu Dumitriu, M. Brudno
- Computer Science, MedicineHuman Mutation
- 1 August 2013
By collecting, classifying, and analyzing phenotypic information during the patient encounter, PhenoTips allows for streamlining of clinic workflow, efficient data entry, improved diagnosis, standardization of collected patient phenotypes, and sharing of anonymized patient phenotype data for the study of rare disorders.
Delineating the 15q13.3 microdeletion phenotype: a case series and comprehensive review of the literature
- Chelsea Lowther, G. Costain, A. Bassett

- 1 February 2015
The 15q13.3 microdeletion syndrome is predominantly characterized by neuropsychiatric expression, and there are implications for pre- and postnatal detection, genetic counseling, and anticipatory care.
Recurrent focal copy-number changes and loss of heterozygosity implicate two noncoding RNAs and one tumor suppressor gene at chromosome 3q13.31 in osteosarcoma.
- Ivan Pašić, A. Shlien, D. Malkin
- BiologyCancer Research
- 2010
The findings identify osteo3q13.31 as a novel region of cooperatively acting tumor suppressor genes that may function as a unit, given significant correlation in their expression despite the great genetic distances between them.
Pathogenic rare copy number variants in community-based schizophrenia suggest a potential role for clinical microarrays.

- 15 November 2013
Consideration of a potential role for clinical microarray testing in schizophrenia, as is now the suggested standard of care for related developmental disorders like autism, is suggested.
