Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation of a partial candidate gene for Menkes disease by positional cloning.

TL;DR: Partial sequence of the cDNA shows a unique open reading frame containing putative metal binding motifs which have been found in heavy metal resistance genes in bacteria, which is a strong candidate for the Menkes disease gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ligand-regulated transport of the Menkes copper P-type ATPase efflux pump from the Golgi apparatus to the plasma membrane: a novel mechanism of regulated trafficking.

TL;DR: It is suggested that MNK continuously recycles between the Golgi and the plasma membrane and elevated copper shifts the steady‐state distribution from the Gol Gi to the plasma membranes, revealing a novel system of regulated protein trafficking which ultimately leads to the efflux of an essential yet potentially toxic ligand.
Journal ArticleDOI

Parkin protects against the toxicity associated with mutant alpha-synuclein: proteasome dysfunction selectively affects catecholaminergic neurons.

TL;DR: Parkin is capable of rescuing the toxic effects of mutant alpha-synuclein or proteasome inhibition in these cells, and parkin and alpha- synuclein are linked by common effects on a pathway associated with selective cell death in catecholaminergic neurons.
Journal ArticleDOI

Refining analyses of copy number variation identifies specific genes associated with developmental delay

TL;DR: An expanded CNV morbidity map was created from 29,085 children with developmental delay in comparison to 19,584 healthy controls, identifying 70 significant CNVs and an integrated analysis of CNV and single-nucleotide variant (SNV) data pinpointed 10 genes enriched for putative loss of function.
Journal ArticleDOI

Targeted sequencing identifies 91 neurodevelopmental-disorder risk genes with autism and developmental-disability biases

Holly A.F. Stessman, +60 more
- 01 Apr 2017 - 
TL;DR: Twenty-five genes showing a bias for autism versus intellectual disability and a network associated with high-functioning autism are highlighted, and clinical follow-up for NAA15, KMT5B, and ASH1L highlighted new syndromic and nonsyndromic forms of disease.
