Abstract Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common types of malignancy of the urinary system. The pathogenesis and effective diagnosis of ccRCC have become popular topics for research in the previous decade. In the current study, an integrated bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify core genes associated in ccRCC. An expression dataset (GSE105261) was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and included 26 ccRCC and 9 normal kideny samples. Assessment of the microarray dataset led to the recognition of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which was subsequently used for pathway and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis. -

Abstract Vision relies on the ability of the eye to receive, process, and send signals to the brain for interpretation. To perform these functions, the eye must properly form during embryogenesis which requires the interaction of genes encoding proteins with various functions during development such as cellular differentiation, migration, and proliferation. In this thesis, I investigate ocular formation and disease. One project assesses the role of gdf11 in a zebrafish animal model to study the eye formation. I also explore the effect of human GDF11 sequence variants in ocular disorders. The second project involves mapping a genomic interval responsible for an autosomal recessive disorder known as Manitoba Oculotrichoanal syndrome. -
Saracatinib Is an Efficacious Clinical Candidate for Fibrodysplasia Ossificans Progressiva

Currently, no effective therapies exist for fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), a rare congenital syndrome in which heterotopic bone is formed in soft tissues owing to dysregulated activity of the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) receptor kinase ALK2 (also known as ACVR1). From a screen of known biologically active compounds, we identified saracatinib as a potent ALK2 kinase inhibitor. In enzymatic and cell-based assays, saracatinib preferentially inhibited ALK2, compared with other receptors of the BMP/TGF-β signaling pathway, and induced dorsalization in zebrafish embryos consistent with BMP antagonism. We further tested the efficacy of saracatinib using an inducible ACVR1Q207D-transgenic mouse line, which provides a model of heterotopic ossification (HO), as well as an inducible ACVR1R206H-knockin mouse, which serves as a genetically and physiologically faithful FOP model. In both models, saracatinib was well tolerated and potently inhibited the development of HO, even when administered transiently following soft tissue injury. -
Identification of Two Novel Mutations in the NOG Gene Associated With
Journal of Human Genetics (2015) 60, 27–34 & 2015 The Japan Society of Human Genetics All rights reserved 1434-5161/15 www.nature.com/jhg ORIGINAL ARTICLE Identification of two novel mutations in the NOG gene associated with congenital stapes ankylosis and symphalangism Akira Ganaha1,3, Tadashi Kaname2,3, Yukinori Akazawa1,3, Teruyuki Higa1,3, Ayano Shinjou1,3, Kenji Naritomi2,3 and Mikio Suzuki1,3 In this study, we describe three unrelated Japanese patients with hearing loss and symphalangism who were diagnosed with proximal symphalangism (SYM1), atypical multiple synostosis syndrome (atypical SYNS1) and stapes ankylosis with broad thumb and toes (SABTT), respectively, based on the clinical features. Surgical findings in the middle ear were similar among the patients. By next-generation and Sanger sequencing analyses, we identified two novel mutations, c.559C4G (p.P178A) and c.682T4A (p.C228S), in the SYM1 and atypical SYNS1 families, respectively. No pathogenic changes were found in the protein-coding regions, exon–intron boundaries or promoter regions of the NOG, GDF5 or FGF9 genes in the SABTT family. Such negative molecular data suggest there may be further genetic heterogeneity underlying SYNS1, with the involvement of at least one additional gene. Stapedotomy resulted in good hearing in all patients over the long term, indicating no correlation between genotype and surgical outcome. Given the overlap of the clinical features of these syndromes in our patients and the molecular findings, the diagnostic term ‘NOG-related-symphalangism spectrum disorder (NOG-SSD)’ is advocated and an unidentified gene may be responsible for this disorder. Journal of Human Genetics (2015) 60, 27–34; doi:10.1038/jhg.2014.97; published online 13 November 2014 INTRODUCTION However, as the GDF5 protein interacts with the NOG protein,14,15 Proximal symphalangism (SYM1) with conductive hearing loss was the diagnostic category of NOG-SSD does appear to be promising. -

Hereditary Hemorrhagic Telangiectasia: Diagnosis and Management From
REVIEW ARTICLE Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia: Ferrata Storti diagnosis and management from Foundation the hematologist’s perspective Athena Kritharis,1 Hanny Al-Samkari2 and David J Kuter2 1Division of Blood Disorders, Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey, New Brunswick, NJ and 2Hematology Division, Massachusetts General Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA, USA ABSTRACT Haematologica 2018 Volume 103(9):1433-1443 ereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler- Weber-Rendu syndrome, is an autosomal dominant disorder that Hcauses abnormal blood vessel formation. The diagnosis of hered- itary hemorrhagic telangiectasia is clinical, based on the Curaçao criteria. Genetic mutations that have been identified include ENG, ACVRL1/ALK1, and MADH4/SMAD4, among others. Patients with HHT may have telangiectasias and arteriovenous malformations in various organs and suffer from many complications including bleeding, anemia, iron deficiency, and high-output heart failure. Families with the same mutation exhibit considerable phenotypic variation. Optimal treatment is best delivered via a multidisciplinary approach with appropriate diag- nosis, screening and local and/or systemic management of lesions. Antiangiogenic agents such as bevacizumab have emerged as a promis- ing systemic therapy in reducing bleeding complications but are not cur- ative. Other pharmacological agents include iron supplementation, antifibrinolytics and hormonal treatment. This review discusses the biol- ogy of HHT, management issues that face
