SHANK3 overexpression causes manic-like behaviour with unique pharmacogenetic properties

TL;DR: This article found that incorrect gene dosage of SHANK3 (a gene linked to some human neuropsychiatric disorders, including autism spectrum disorder) is associated with behavioural abnormalities including mania, possibly because of actin regulation problems in excitatory/inhibitory synapses.
Journal ArticleDOI

An AT-Hook Domain in MeCP2 Determines the Clinical Course of Rett Syndrome and Related Disorders

TL;DR: It is discovered that MeCP2 contains three AT-hook-like domains over a stretch of 250 amino acids, like HMGA DNA-bending proteins; one conserved AT- hook is disrupted in MeCP1-R270X, lending further support to the notion that one of Me CP2's key functions is to alter chromatin structure.
Journal ArticleDOI

Exercise and Genetic Rescue of SCA1 via the Transcriptional Repressor Capicua

TL;DR: A mild exercise regimen in a mouse model of SCA1 found a considerable improvement in survival accompanied by up-regulation of epidermal growth factor and consequential down- regulation of Capicua, which is an ATXN1 interactor, which might have long-term beneficial effects in other ataxias and neurodegenerative diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

True process variation aware optical proximity correction with variational lithography modeling and model calibration

TL;DR: This work derives a variational lithography model (VLIM) that can simulate across the process window without much run-time overhead compared to the conventional lithography models, and introduces the variational edge placement error (VEPE) metrics based on the model.
