Candidate genes for domestication and resistance to cold climate according to whole genome sequencing data of Russian cattle and sheep breeds by N. S. Yudin, D. M. Larkin

“…We showed that the studied Russian cattle and sheep breeds have at least 10 genes in common, apparently involved in the processes of adaptation/selection, including adaptation to a cold climate, including the ASTN2, PM20D1, TMEM176A, and GLIS1 genes. Based on the intersection with the list of selected genes in at least two Arctic/Antarctic mammal species, 20 and 8 genes, have been identified in cattle and sheep, respectively, that are potentially involved in cold adaptation. …”

Case report: Novel ACTN4 variant of uncertain significance in a pediatric case of steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome requesting kidney transplantation by Ignacio Alarcón, Carolina Peralta, Francisco Cammarata-Scalisi, Maykol Araya Castillo, Francisco Cano, Francisco Cano, Angélica Rojo, María Luisa Ceballos, María Luisa Ceballos, Paola Krall, Paola Krall

“…He requested to be considered for kidney transplantation and the VUS in ACTN4 was re-analyzed to assess potential risks, resulting in a reclassification as likely pathogenic (PM1+PM2+PM4 criteria). At 14 years old, he received a deceased donor kidney allograft without recurrence during the subsequent 5 months.ConclusionsIdentifying VUS is a recurring challenge in routine clinical genetics, particularly for patients with rare diseases or atypical phenotypes in underrepresented populations. …”
