TLDR
This X-linked Malformation and Infantile Lethality Syndrome has provisionally been named Ogden Syndrome, in honor of the hometown where the first family resides.
Abstract
This is a lethal X-linked disorder of infancy comprising a distinct combination of distinctive craniofacial features producing an aged appearance, growth failure, hypotonia, global developmental delays, cryptorchidism, and acquired cardiac arrhythmias. The first family was identified in Ogden, Utah, with five affected boys in two generations of family members. A mutation was identified as a c.109T>C(p.Ser37Pro) variant in NAA10, a gene encoding the catalytic subunit of the major human N-terminal acetyltransferase (NatA). This same mutation was identified in a second unrelated family, with three affected boys in two generations. This X-linked Malformation and Infantile Lethality Syndrome has provisionally been named Ogden Syndrome, in honor of the hometown where the first family resides.

SIFT: predicting amino acid changes that affect protein function

TL;DR: SIFT is a program that predicts whether an amino acid substitution affects protein function so that users can prioritize substitutions for further study and can distinguish between functionally neutral and deleterious amino acid changes in mutagenesis studies and on human polymorphisms.

N-Terminal Acetylation of Cellular Proteins Creates Specific Degradation Signals

TL;DR: Using the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, it is found that the Nt-acetylated Met residue could act as a degradation signal (degron), targeted by the Doa10 ubiquitin ligase.
