We will sequence the RNA of lymphoblast samples, transformed with EBV, which have poikiloderma syndrome with mutations in c16orf57. The aim of the experiment is to characterise RNA structural effects in this disease.
Clericuzio-type poikiloderma with neutropenia (PN, Mendelian Inheritance in Man (MIM) accession 604173) is a rare genodermatosis associated to mutations in the MPN1 gene. The aim of this experiment was to investigate the the effect of MPN1 mutations on pre-mRNA transcripts maturation. We compared th...

Dominant missense mutations in the human serine protease FAM111A underlie perinatally lethal gracile bone dysplasia and Kenny-Caffey syndrome 1-3, yet how FAM111A mutations lead to disease is not known. We show that FAM111A proteolytic activity suppresses DNA replication and transcription by displac...
