April 2026 in “Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences” In this study, Tmem30b was identified as a key regulator of outer hair cell structure in mice, and its modulation may offer a therapeutic approach for certain types of hearing loss.
April 2026 in “Human Genome Variation” In this study, researchers identified a recurrent MBTPS2 splice-site variant as a mutational hotspot in IFAP syndrome across diverse families, with phenotype severity suggesting the influence of additional modifiers.

February 2016 in “Scientific reports” This study found that dual inhibition of BACE1 and BACE2 in mice affects melanosome maturation and causes dose-dependent hair depigmentation without altering retinal morphology.
August 2025 in “International Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics” This case report presents a rare subtype of hypomyelinating leukodystrophy linked to a PYCR2 gene mutation, emphasizing exome sequencing's value in diagnosing undiagnosed childhood HLDs with atypical symptoms.
This study indicates that CD4 protein may have a functional role in basal cell-like keratinocytes through TCR/CD3-independent signaling, affecting their proliferation, differentiation, and migration.
July 2005 in “The American Journal of Human Genetics” The AR gene is linked to male-pattern baldness, TNFSF4 to heart disease, SLC19A3 to BBGD, MCT8 to a syndrome, and segmental duplications to genetic variation.
7 citations
,
