Natural history of adult patients with GM2 gangliosidosis

TL;DR: The natural history of adult patients with GM2 gangliosidosis is clarified to clarify the nature of childhood onset and first symptoms during adolescence/adulthood.
Journal ArticleDOI

Clinical presentation and outcome in infantile Sandhoff disease: a case series of 25 patients from Iranian neurometabolic bioregistry with five novel mutations

TL;DR: Clinical course and demographic features in a case series of infantile Sandhoff disease, a GM2 gangliosidosis that is classified as a lysosomal storage disorder, are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI

Incidence and carrier frequency of Sandhoff disease in Saskatchewan determined using a novel substrate with detection by tandem mass spectrometry and molecular genetic analysis

TL;DR: The estimated carrier frequency of Sandhoff disease in Saskatchewan at 1:15 is more than 3 times higher than the carrier frequency in the global sample provided by the 1000 Genomes project at 1.57.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genotype-phenotype correlation of gangliosidosis mutations using in silico tools and homology modeling.

TL;DR: The method developed in this study holds promise as a tool that can be broadly applicable to other lysosomal diseases and monogenic diseases.

Improved methods for building protein models in electron density maps and the location of errors in these models.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe strategies and tools that help to alleviate this problem and simplify the model-building process, quantify the goodness of fit of the model on a per-residue basis and locate possible errors in peptide and side-chain conformations.
Journal ArticleDOI

A method and server for predicting damaging missense mutations.

TL;DR: A new method and the corresponding software tool, PolyPhen-2, which is different from the early tool polyPhen1 in the set of predictive features, alignment pipeline, and the method of classification is presented and performance, as presented by its receiver operating characteristic curves, was consistently superior.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human Splicing Finder: an online bioinformatics tool to predict splicing signals

TL;DR: Human Splicing Finder is designed, a tool to predict the effects of mutations on splicing signals or to identify splicing motifs in any human sequence, and it is shown that the mutation effect was correctly predicted in almost all cases.
Journal ArticleDOI

One Fold with Many Functions: The Evolutionary Relationships between TIM Barrel Families Based on their Sequences, Structures and Functions

TL;DR: The eightfold barrel structure, first observed in triose-phosphate isomerase, occurs ubiquitously in nature and is an extreme example of the "one fold-many functions" paradigm, which illustrates the difficulty of assigning function through a structural genomics approach for some folds.
Journal ArticleDOI

Single base-pair substitutions in exon-intron junctions of human genes: nature, distribution, and consequences for mRNA splicing.

TL;DR: A meta‐analysis of 478 disease‐associated splicing mutations, in 38 different genes, reveals that exon skipping was the preferred phenotype when the immediate vicinity of the affected exon–intron junctions was devoid of alternative splice‐sites, and estimates that some 1.6% of disease‐causing missense substitutions in human genes are likely to affect the mRNA splicing phenotype.
