    Pathogenic mutations in the chromokinesin KIF22 disrupt anaphase chromosome segregation

    Alex F Thompson, Patrick R Blackburn ... Jason Stumpff
    Pathogenic mutations in KIF22, which dominantly cause bone dysplasia, improperly activate the motor during anaphase in dividing cells leading to chromosome recongression.

    A novel and accurate full-length HTT mouse model for Huntington’s disease

    Sushila A Shenoy, Sushuang Zheng ... Chenjian Li
    A novel BAC226Q mouse recapitulating robust, age-dependent, progressive Huntington’s disease (HD)-like phenotypes will be a valuable tool for studying disease mechanisms, identifying biomarkers, and testing gene-targeting therapeutic approaches for HD.

    Latent gammaherpesvirus exacerbates arthritis through modification of age-associated B cells

    Isobel C Mouat, Zachary J Morse ... Marc S Horwitz
    Latent gammaherpesvirus infection predisposes mice to develop more severe disease following induction of arthritis by elevating pathogenic interferon-gamma-expressing age-associated B cells.

    Induction of the IL-1RII decoy receptor by NFAT/FOXP3 blocks IL-1β-dependent response of Th17 cells

    Dong Hyun Kim, Hee Young Kim ... Won-Woo Lee
    Cellular immunological and biochemical analyses reveal how decoy IL-1RII is induced by human CD4+ T cells upon TCR-stimulation and regulates the Th17-Treg balance by modulating IL-1β responsiveness in IL-1RI+ cells.

    Genetic identification of a common collagen disease in Puerto Ricans via identity-by-descent mapping in a health system

    Gillian Morven Belbin, Jacqueline Odgis ... Eimear E Kenny
    A health-system embedding method for genomic discovery and clinical characterization of disease highlights the importance of documenting a wider spectrum of genetic disorders in diverse populations.

    KDM5A mutations identified in autism spectrum disorder using forward genetics

    Lauretta El Hayek, Islam Oguz Tuncay ... Maria H Chahrour
    Successful autism spectrum disorder gene discovery using forward genetics identifies KDM5A, which encodes a histone H3 lysine 4 demethylase, as a disease gene.

    Distinct impact of IgG subclass on autoantibody pathogenicity in different IgG4-mediated diseases

    Yanxia Bi, Jian Su ... Fubin Li
    The IgG4 subclass, previously considered anti-inflammatory due to its weak effector function, could either reduce or exacerbate autoantibody pathogenicity in the context of different IgG4-mediated autoimmune diseases.

    Multi-syndrome, multi-gene risk modeling for individuals with a family history of cancer with the novel R package PanelPRO

    Gavin Lee, Jane W Liang ... Danielle Braun
    A comprehensive package for pedigree-based risk modeling, with a highly optimized computational back-end, extends existing models beyond syndrome-specific approaches and incorporates data from panel studies by allowing for an arbitrary number of gene and syndrome associations.

    Cytoplasmic retention and degradation of a mitotic inducer enable plant infection by a pathogenic fungus

    Paola Bardetti, Sónia Marisa Castanheira ... José Pérez-Martín
    Degradation of a mitotic inducer coordinates the transition of two successive cell cycle arrests during the infective process of a plant pathogenic fungus.

    Pathogenic LRRK2 control of primary cilia and Hedgehog signaling in neurons and astrocytes of mouse brain

    Shahzad S Khan, Yuriko Sobu ... Suzanne R Pfeffer
    Striatal cholinergic interneurons and astrocytes lose cilia and show dysregulation of Hedgehog signaling in mice with a Parkinson's disease-associated, G2019S LRRK2 mutation or upon loss of PPM1H phosphatase specific for LRRK2-phosphorylated Rab GTPases.
