FMRP stalls ribosomal translocation on mRNAs linked to synaptic function and autism

TLDR
A brain polyribosome-programmed translation system is developed, revealing that FMRP reversibly stalls ribosomes specifically on its target mRNAs and suggests multiple targets for clinical intervention in FXS and ASD.

Balancing Act: Maintaining Amino Acid Levels in the Autistic Brain

TL;DR: A recent study identifies a form of ASD resulting from a failure of the brain to properly import amino acids as a result of mutated genes in autism.

Posttranscriptional Gene Regulation of the GABA Receptor to Control Neuronal Inhibition.

TL;DR: It is proposed that local (co)-translational control mechanism might control transmission of inhibitory synapses through known aspects of posttranscriptional regulation and protein dynamics of the GABA receptor (GABAR).

ESCRT-III Membrane Trafficking Misregulation Contributes To Fragile X Syndrome Synaptic Defects.

TL;DR: Genetic correction of Shrub levels in the FXS model prevents synaptic membrane trafficking defects and strongly restores innervation, revealing a new molecular mechanism underpinning theFXS disease state.

Low Levels of HDL in Fragile X Syndrome Patients.

TL;DR: The mutation responsible for FXS is a large expansion of the CGG repeats in the promoter region of the FMR1 gene resulting in the transcriptional silencing of the gene in the pathophysiology of Fragile X syndrome was hypothesized.

Controlling the false discovery rate: a practical and powerful approach to multiple testing

TL;DR: In this paper, a different approach to problems of multiple significance testing is presented, which calls for controlling the expected proportion of falsely rejected hypotheses -the false discovery rate, which is equivalent to the FWER when all hypotheses are true but is smaller otherwise.

Systematic and integrative analysis of large gene lists using DAVID bioinformatics resources.

TL;DR: By following this protocol, investigators are able to gain an in-depth understanding of the biological themes in lists of genes that are enriched in genome-scale studies.

Biometery: The principles and practice of statistics in biological research

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a model for the analysis of variance in a single-classification and two-way and multiway analysis of Variance with the assumption of correlation.

Linear Models and Empirical Bayes Methods for Assessing Differential Expression in Microarray Experiments

TL;DR: The hierarchical model of Lonnstedt and Speed (2002) is developed into a practical approach for general microarray experiments with arbitrary numbers of treatments and RNA samples and the moderated t-statistic is shown to follow a t-distribution with augmented degrees of freedom.
