A nonsense mutation is the substitution of a single base pairthat leads to the appearance of a stop codon where previously there was a codon specifying an amino acid. The presence of this premature stop codon results in the production of a shortened, and likely nonfunctional, protein. What is...
A Mendelian trait is one thatis controlled by a single locus in an inheritance pattern. In such cases, a mutation in a single gene can cause a disease that is inherited according to Mendel's principles. Dominant diseases manifest in heterozygous individuals. What are the four exceptions to Men...
Restricting screening to a second-tier testing to predefined mutation panels, even broad ones, results in some missed CF cases and demonstrates the limited utility of this approach in states that have diverse multiethnic populations.GENETICS in MEDICINE advance online publication, 4 May 2017; doi:...
Scleroderma, Lupus erythematosus, and Pemphigus are examples of what kind of diseases? Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a loss-of-function mutation in a chloride channel, which causes a thickening of the mucus, leading to respiratory failure. This disease...

Recently, denaturing HPLC (DHPLC) appears to be more sensitive than other methods in mutation detection, as exemplified in the detection of TSC1 (13), TSC2 (14), BRCA1 (15,16), BRCA2 (15), CFTR (13), EXT1 (17), EXT2 (17), and HPRT (18). Comparison of fluorescent single-stran...
Emphysema is a type of COPD that can also cause a barrel chest. After physical activity, the two major signs and symptoms of emphysema areshortness of breathandchronic cough. Other symptoms may include: Higher oxygen rate at rest Breathing difficulty ...
genes to investigate functions of the transporters, it cannot be excluded that the observed phenotypes may be due to an adaptation of the plant to a specific mutation. In conclusion, it is always necessary to integrate multiple sources of evidence to demonstrate hormone transport by a transporter....

Although we did not make a functional study, this variant is a null variant and classified as a likely pathogenic variant due to ACMG criteria.
