KCNJ11 mutations cause sever neuropsychological deficits
(BMJ, 2016)KCNJ11 encodes Kir6.2, the pore-forming subunit of the ATP-sensitive potassium channel present in brain regions including the hypothalamus, neocortex and cerebellum. Its neurological function is uncertain. KCNJ11 activating ... -
Keratoacanthoma management: results of a survey of UK dermatologists and surgeons.
(Wiley, 2017-07-30)Distinction of keratoacanthoma (KA) from squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) is challenging. Management is controversial, with some advocating prompt surgical excision and others monitoring to allow for spontaneous resolution(1) ... -
KIAA1109 Variants Are Associated with a Severe Disorder of Brain Development and Arthrogryposis.
(Cell Press, 2018-01-04)Whole-exome and targeted sequencing of 13 individuals from 10 unrelated families with overlapping clinical manifestations identified loss-of-function and missense variants in KIAA1109 allowing delineation of an autosomal-recessive ... -
Kufs disease due to mutation of CLN6: clinical, pathological and molecular genetic features.
(Oxford Journals, 2018-12-15)Kufs disease is the major adult form of neuronal ceroid lipofuscinosis, but is rare and difficult to diagnose. Diagnosis was traditionally dependent on the demonstration of characteristic storage material, but distinction ... -
Landscape of Familial Isolated and Young-Onset Pituitary Adenomas: Prospective Diagnosis in AIP Mutation Carriers.
(Endocrine Society, 2015-09)Familial isolated pituitary adenoma (FIPA) due to aryl hydrocarbon receptor interacting protein (AIP) gene mutations is an autosomal dominant disease with incomplete penetrance. Clinical screening of apparently unaffected ... -
Langerhans Cell Sarcoma: A Case Report Demonstrating Morphological and Immunophenotypical Variability within a Single Lesion.
(Hindawi, 2017-05)Langerhans cells are antigen presenting dendritic cells and tumours arising from these are rare. The tumours arising from these dendritic cells are divided into two categories according to a WHO classification: Langerhans ... -

Large Copy-Number Variants in UK Biobank Caused by Clonal Hematopoiesis May Confound Penetrance Estimates
(Elsevier Science, 2020-08-06)Large copy-number variants (CNVs) are strongly associated with both developmental delay and cancer, but the type of disease depends strongly on when and where the mutation occurred, i.e., germline versus somatic. We used ... -
