The Nature of Radiation-induced Inherited Recessive Gene Mutations in Drosophila Melanogaster
The nature of gene mutations induced by ionizing radiation in germ cells and transmitted to offspring remains one of the most important problems in radiation genetics of higher eukaryotes. The data accumulated in this field were obtained by different authors under different experimental conditions which does not give a complete insight about the nature of radiation-induced inherited mutations at different genome levels (chromosome, gene, DNA).
Commentary on NOBOX Mutations in Premature Ovarian Insufficiency
NOBOX is an ovarian specific transcription factor that plays an important role in follicular growth and survival. Nineteen NOBOX variants have been previously associated with premature ovarian insufficiency (POI). Disease severity in patients with heterozygous and homozygous mutations largely overlap however, hampering genotype-phenotype correlations. We recently reported the first case of biallelic truncating mutations (NM_001080413.3 (NOBOX):c.826C>T, p.(Arg276*) and NM_001080413.3(NOBOX):c.1421del, p.(Gly474Alafs*76)) of NOBOX in two Belgian sisters with POI.
Involvement of D-Loop Mutations in the Occurrence of Ovarian Carcinoma
Cancer mortality is proportionally higher in Africa than elsewhere in the world. In Senegal, ovarian cancer is responsible for 2.8% of deaths and is one of the most fatal gynaecological cancers. This work is therefore being carried out in order to better understand the impact of D-Loop mutations in the evolution of ovarian cancer in Senegalese women.
Dihydropteroate Synthase (DHPS) Gene Mutations in Human Pneumocystosis
Extraordinary journey began on June 18, 1981, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in United States reported a cluster of Pneumocystis carinii pneumonia (now known as Pneumocystis jirovecii (P. jirovecii) pneumonia or Pneumocystis pneumonia in five gay men in Los Angeles.
SARS-CoV-2 Mutations, Diagnosis and Their Concern
The first case is described in Wuhan city of China in December 2019 and the disease (COVID-19) continues to pose threat to global health all over the world affecting more than approximately 476 million confirmed cases and 6 million deaths. Reliable and effective methods are taken a critical role such as real-time reverse transcriptase (RT)-PCR test as a gold standard method, serological tests, and reverse transcriptase loopmediated isothermal amplification (RT-LAMP) method is chosen firstly.
