    Functional CDKN2A assay identifies frequent deleterious alleles misclassified as variants of uncertain significance

    Hirokazu Kimura, Raymond M Paranal ... Nicholas J Roberts
    Over 40% of CDKN2A variants of uncertain significance identified in patients with pancreatic cancer are functionally deleterious and can be reclassified as likely pathogenic with implications for care of patients and their relatives.

    A critical region of A20 unveiled by missense TNFAIP3 variations that lead to autoinflammation

    Elma El Khouri, Farah Diab ... Irina Giurgea
    Enhanced proteasomal degradation of TNFAIP3 proteins carrying missense variations is one of the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying HA20.

    Pathogenic PS1 phosphorylation at Ser367

    Masato Maesako, Jana Horlacher ... Oksana Berezovska
    PS1 phosphorylation at Ser367 is the potential hyperactivity-driven culprit of pathogenic change in PS1 conformation in vitro and in vivo.

    Atmospheric particulate matter aggravates CNS demyelination through involvement of TLR-4/NF-kB signaling and microglial activation

    Bing Han, Xing Li ... Yuan Zhang
    An atmospheric trigger, the respirable particulate matter boost microglia pathogenic activities in the context of CNS demyelination by activating TLR-4/NF-kB signaling axis in animal models of immune- and toxicity-induced demyelination, as well as myelinogenesis during postnatal development.

    Enrichment of SARM1 alleles encoding variants with constitutively hyperactive NADase in patients with ALS and other motor nerve disorders

    Jonathan Gilley, Oscar Jackson ... Michael P Coleman
    Rare SARM1 alleles encoding SARM1 variants that have constitutively high NADase activity and sensitise cultured neurons to mild stress are risk alleles for ALS and other, related motor disorders.

    Reported transgenerational responses to Pseudomonas aeruginosa in Caenorhabditis elegans are not robust

    Daniel Patrick Gainey, Andrey V Shubin, Craig P Hunter
    The failure to replicate key findings from an important report on transgenerational inheritance in Caenorhabditis elegans raises concerns about the robustness and ecological significance of the previously reported results.

    Exposure to live saprophytic Leptospira before challenge with a pathogenic serovar prevents severe leptospirosis and promotes kidney homeostasis

    Suman Kundu, Advait Shetty, Maria Gomes-Solecki
    Potential commensalism between saprophytic and pathogenic Leptospira within a vertebrate host protects against severe leptospirosis and improves kidney homeostasis which helps Leptospira interrogans complete its enzootic cycle.

    Defective AMH signaling disrupts GnRH neuron development and function and contributes to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism

    Samuel Andrew Malone, Georgios E Papadakis ... Paolo Giacobini
    Mouse in vivo and in vitro analysis and human genetic screening highlight the role of anti-Müllerian hormone (AMH) signaling in GnRH neuronal development and function, and identify mutations in AMH and AMHR2 in CHH patients.

    Monitoring site-specific conformational changes in real-time reveals a misfolding mechanism of the prion protein

    Ishita Sengupta, Jayant Udgaonkar
    Multi-site FRET measurements of moPrP oligomerization at low pH indicate that major conformational changes take place as monomers reversibly transform into large oligomers, which subsequently disassemble reversibly into small oligomers.
