Article Abstract
Hypopigmentation along Blaschko's lines is a hallmark of a poorly defined group of mosaic syndromes whose genetic causes are unknown. Here we show that postzygotic inactivating mutations of RHOA cause a neuroectodermal syndrome combining linear hypopigmentation, alopecia, apparently asymptomatic leukoencephalopathy, and facial, ocular, dental and acral anomalies. Our findings pave the way toward elucidating the etiology of pigmentary mosaicism and highlight the role of RHOA in human development and disease.

Background: Genetic predisposition is particularly common in children with the kidney cancer, Wilms tumor. In 10% of these children, this manifests as a family history of Wilms tumor or bilateral disease. The frequency and spectrum of underlying changes have not been systematically investigated.

Improving ale or lager yeasts by conventional breeding is a non-trivial task. Domestication of lager yeasts, which are hybrids between Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Saccharomyces eubayanus, has led to evolved strains with severely reduced or abolished sexual reproduction capabilities, due to, e.g.

The establishment of reproductive barriers such as postzygotic ybrid ncompatibility (HI) remains the key to speciation. Gene duplication followed by differential functionalization has long been proposed as a major model underlying HI, but little supporting evidence exists. Here, we demonstrate that a newborn F-box gene, , of the nematode specifically inactivates an essential phosphoglucomutase encoded by in its sister species and their hybrids.

Key Clinical Message: Not only germline but also postzygotic mutations in the or genes can lead to capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) syndrome. As it is not always possible to clinically distinguish between constitutional variants and postzygotic mosaicism, a sufficiently high sequencing depth must be used in genetic diagnostics to detect both.
Abstract: Capillary malformation-arteriovenous malformation (CM-AVM) syndrome, with or without Parkes Weber syndrome, is a rare autosomal dominant disease caused by pathogenic or variants.
