Article Abstract
Disco-interacting protein 2 is a highly conserved three-domain protein with two tandem Adenylate-forming domains. It is proposed to influence the processes involved in neuronal development by influencing lipid metabolism and remains to be characterized. In this study, we show that Disco-interacting protein 2a null mice do not exhibit overt phenotype defects. However, the body composition differences were observed in these mice under different dietary regimens. The neutral lipid composition of two different diets was characterized, and it was observed that the new-born mice grow relatively slower than the wild-type mice with delayed appearance of features such as dentition when fed with high-triacylglycerol NIN-formulation diet. The high-diacylglycerol Safe-formulation diet was found to accumulate more fat mass in mice than those fed with high-triacylglycerol NIN-formulation diet beyond 10 months. These findings point to a proposed relationship between dietary components (particularly the lipid composition) and body composition along with the growth of neonates in mice lacking the gene Disco-interacting protein 2a.

Background: Recurrent 10p15.3 microdeletion syndrome is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by abnormal facial features, global developmental delay (DD)/intellectual disability (ID), short stature, hand/foot malformation, and congenital heart defects (CHDs). However, the specific genetic defects that contribute to the cardiac phenotype remain unclear.

Background: Trinucleotide repeat expansions are an emerging class of genetic variants associated with various movement disorders. Unbiased genome-wide analyses can reveal novel genotype-phenotype associations and provide a diagnosis for patients and families.
Objective: The aim was to identify the genetic cause of a severe progressive movement disorder phenotype in 2 affected brothers.

Diacylglycerol (DAG) is a relatively simple and primitive form of lipid, which does not possess a phospholipid headgroup. Being a central metabolite of the lipid metabolism network, DAGs are omnipresent in all life forms. While the role of DAG has been established in membrane and storage lipid biogenesis, it can impart crucial physiological functions including membrane shapeshifting, regulation of membrane protein activity, and transduction of cellular signalling as a lipid-based secondary messenger.

Article Synopsis
- Selenium is a crucial nutrient that can have negative health effects at both low and high levels, prompting research into how it affects DNA methylation and related diseases in a specific population (American Indians).
- In a study involving 1,357 participants, researchers measured urinary selenium levels and conducted DNA methylation analysis, identifying five key CpG sites significantly associated with these levels.
- The results showed only minor changes in DNA methylation linked to urinary selenium, indicating that its health impacts might involve mechanisms beyond just DNA methylation alterations.
