    Supplemental information to Mammadova-Bach et al., “Laminin α1 orchestrates VEGFA functions in the ecosystem of colorectal carcinogenesis” Supplemental material and methods Cloning of the villin-LMα1 vector The plasmid pBS-villin-promoter containing the 3.5 Kb of the murine villin promoter, the first non coding exon, 5.5 kb of the first intron and 15 nucleotides of the second villin exon, was generated by S. Robine (Institut Curie, Paris, France). The EcoRI site in the multi cloning site was destroyed by fill in ligation with T4 polymerase according to the manufacturer`s instructions (New England Biolabs, Ozyme, Saint Quentin en Yvelines, France). Site directed mutagenesis (GeneEditor in vitro Site-Directed Mutagenesis system, Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France) was then used to introduce a BsiWI site before the start codon of the villin coding sequence using the 5’ phosphorylated primer: 5’CCTTCTCCTCTAGGCTCGCGTACGATGACGTCGGACTTGCGG3’. A double strand annealed oligonucleotide, 5’GGCCGGACGCGTGAATTCGTCGACGC3’ and 5’GGCCGCGTCGACGAATTCACGC GTCC3’ containing restriction site for MluI, EcoRI and SalI were inserted in the NotI site (present in the multi cloning site), generating the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. The SV40 polyA region of the pEGFP plasmid (Clontech, Ozyme, Saint Quentin Yvelines, France) was amplified by PCR using primers 5’GGCGCCTCTAGATCATAATCAGCCATA3’ and 5’GGCGCCCTTAAGATACATTGATGAGTT3’ before subcloning into the pGEMTeasy vector (Promega, Charbonnières-les-Bains, France). After EcoRI digestion, the SV40 polyA fragment was purified with the NucleoSpin Extract II kit (Machery-Nagel, Hoerdt, France) and then subcloned into the EcoRI site of the plasmid pBS-villin-promoter-MES. Site directed mutagenesis was used to introduce a BsiWI site (5’ phosphorylated AGCGCAGGGAGCGGCGGCCGTACGATGCGCGGCAGCGGCACG3’) before the initiation codon and a MluI site (5’ phosphorylated 1 CCCGGGCCTGAGCCCTAAACGCGTGCCAGCCTCTGCCCTTGG3’) after the stop codon in the full length cDNA coding for the mouse LMα1 in the pCIS vector (kindly provided by P.

  • RARE CHROMOSOME DISORDERS the Term, ‘Rare Chromosome Disorders’, Refers to Conditions Which
    INFORMATION SHEET Page 1 COMPLEX LEARNING DIFFICULTIES AND DISABILITIES RESEARCH PROJECT (CLDD) RARE CHROMOSOME DISORDERS The term, ‘rare chromosome disorders’, refers to conditions which: 1. occur due to missing, duplicated or re-arranged chromosome material 2. have a low prevalence rate (thus not including chromosomal disorders such as Down syndrome). Chromosomes are structures found in the nuclei of cells in human bodies. Each chromosome contains thousands of genes which determine how we grow and develop. A typically developing person will have 23 pairs of chromosomes with one member of each pair being inherited from each parent, giving a total of 46 individual chromosomes. Two of these are the sex chromosomes which determine whether we are female (XX) or male (XY). The remaining 44 chromosomes are grouped in 22 pairs, numbered 1 to 22. The arms of a chromosome are called ‘p’ (shorter arm) and ‘q’ (long arm) (see Figure 1); these arms are separated into numerical regions, which in turn are divided into bands and sub-bands. p q Figure 1. Diagram of a chromosome Individually, rare chromosome disorders are extremely uncommon, with some being actually unique; however, collectively rare chromosome disorders make up at least one in every 200 live births, with babies either having symptoms from birth or early childhood, or being carriers of a chromosomal abnormality and experiencing the effects when they try to reproduce in later life (Searle and Hultén, 2009). Recent advances in technology and medical expertise has meant that chromosomes can be viewed at ever increasing magnifications, which is resulting in the detection of more complex defects.

  • Spectrum of PEX1 and PEX6 Variants in Heimler Syndrome
    European Journal of Human Genetics (2016) 24, 1565–1571 Official Journal of The European Society of Human Genetics www.nature.com/ejhg ARTICLE Spectrum of PEX1 and PEX6 variants in Heimler syndrome Claire EL Smith1, James A Poulter1, Alex V Levin2,3,4, Jenina E Capasso4, Susan Price5, Tamar Ben-Yosef6, Reuven Sharony7, William G Newman8,9, Roger C Shore10, Steven J Brookes10, Alan J Mighell1,11,12 and Chris F Inglehearn*,1,12 Heimler syndrome (HS) consists of recessively inherited sensorineural hearing loss, amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) and nail abnormalities, with or without visual defects. Recently HS was shown to result from hypomorphic mutations in PEX1 or PEX6,both previously implicated in Zellweger Syndrome Spectrum Disorders (ZSSD). ZSSD are a group of conditions consisting of craniofacial and neurological abnormalities, sensory defects and multi-organ dysfunction. The finding of HS-causing mutations in PEX1 and PEX6 shows that HS represents the mild end of the ZSSD spectrum, though these conditions were previously thought to be distinct nosological entities. Here, we present six further HS families, five with PEX6 variants and one with PEX1 variants, and show the patterns of Pex1, Pex14 and Pex6 immunoreactivity in the mouse retina. While Ratbi et al. found more HS-causing mutations in PEX1 than in PEX6, as is the case for ZSSD, in this cohort PEX6 variants predominate, suggesting both genes play a significant role in HS. The PEX6 variant c.1802G4A, p.(R601Q), reported previously in compound heterozygous state in one HS and three ZSSD cases, was found in compound heterozygous state in three HS families.

  • Lab 17. Chromosomes and Karyotypes: How Do Two Physically Healthy Parents Produce a Child with Down Syndrome and a Second Child
    Lab 17. Chromosomes and Karyotypes: How Do Two Physically Healthy Parents Produce a Child With Down Syndrome and a Second Child With Cri Du Chat Syndrome? Introduction Mendel’s model of inheritance is the basis for modern genetics. This important model can be broken down into four main ideas. First, and foremost, the fundamental unit of inheritance is the gene and alternative versions of a gene (alleles) account for the variation in inheritable characters. Second, an organism inherits two alleles for each character, one from each parent. Third, if the two alleles differ, then one is fully expressed and determines the nature of the specific trait (this version of the gene is called the dominant allele) while the other one has no noticeable effect (this version of the gene is called the recessive allele). Fourth, the two alleles for each character segregate (or separate) during gamete production. Therefore, an egg or a sperm cell only gets one of the two alleles that are present in the somatic cells of the organism. This idea is known as the law of segregation. It was brilliant (or lucky) that Mendel chose plant traits that turned out to have a relatively simple genetic basis. Each trait that he studied is determined by only one gene, and each of these genes only consists of two alleles. These conditions, however, are not met by all inheritable traits. The relationship between traits and genes is not always a simple one. In this investigation, you will use what you know about the relationship between traits and genes to explain how two children from the same family inherited two different genetic disorders.

Amelogenesis imperfecta (AI) has been described as a complex group of hereditary conditions that disturbs the developing enamel and exists independent of any related systemic disorder. This clinical case report describes the diagnosis and management of hypoplastic amelogenesis imperfecta in a 5-year-old child. The treatment objectives were to improve aesthetics, improve periodontal health, prevent further loss of tooth structure, and improve the child’s confidence. The treatment plan was to restore the affected teeth with full coverage restorations. Treatment involved placement of composite strip crowns on maxillary anterior teeth and stainless steel crowns on the posterior teeth followed by fluoride varnish application in the upper and lower arches. A 6-month follow-up showed great aesthetic and psychological improvements in the patient.

Abstract: Homocysteine (HCY), a physiological amino acid formed when proteins break down, leads to a pathological condition called hyperhomocysteinemia (HHCY), when it is over a definite limit. It is well known that an increase in HCY levels in blood, can contribute to arterial damage and several cardiovascular disease, but the knowledge about the relationship between HCY and brain disorders is very poor. Recent studies demonstrated that an alteration in HCY metabolism or a deficiency in folate or vitamin B12 can cause altered methylation and/or redox potentials, that leads to a modification on calcium influx in cells, or into an accumulation in amyloid and/or tau protein involving a cascade of events that culminate in apoptosis, and, in the worst conditions, neuronal death. The present review will thus summarize how much is known about the possible role of HHCY in neurodegenerative disease.
