Article Abstract
Randomized clinical trials (RCTs) have a key role in progressing biomedical research and guiding clinical decision making, but premature termination remains high (up to 30%), raising concerns regarding funding expenditure and resource allocation. This brief report sought to identify variables associated with RCTs' premature termination and completion.

Dent disease is a rare X-linked recessive inherited renal tubular disorder characterized by low molecular weight proteinuria (LMWP), hypercalciuria, nephrocalcinosis, and other clinical features, and can lead to progressive renal failure. It is primarily caused by mutations in the gene. This article reports the case of a 10-year-old male patient of Chinese descent who was incidentally found to have asymptomatic proteinuria during a routine health examination.

Aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases (aaRSs) catalyze the aminoacylation of tRNA with their cognate amino acids, an essential step in protein biosynthesis. While biallelic mutations in aaRSs often result in severe multi-organ dysfunction accompanied by developmental delays, monoallelic mutations typically cause milder, tissue-specific symptoms. However, a de novo monoallelic nonsense mutation (R534*) in the asparaginyl-tRNA synthetase (AsnRS)-resulting in a premature stop codon and 15-residue C-terminal truncation-has been identified in multiple families and is associated with severe neurodevelopmental symptoms.

While these include missense mutations and a few insertions, deletions, or duplications, none result in open reading frame shifts, and all alter γ-secretase function to increase the long/short Aβ ratio. Methods We identified a novel heterozygous nonsense variant, c.

We show that this purine preference is critical for gene expression because it prevents premature transcription termination in species that exhibit runaway transcription. In contrast to coupled transcription-translation , runaway RNA polymerases that outpace trailing ribosomes have exposed nascent RNA and are vulnerable to the termination factor Rho .

Importance: Previous work found that 25% to 30% of randomized clinical trials (RCTs) with protocols approved in 2012 or between 2000 and 2003 were discontinued prematurely, most commonly due to inadequate participant recruitment. To minimize research waste, RCTs should be registered and their results made available.
Objectives: To assess the fate of RCTs approved by ethics committees in 2016 in terms of nonregistration, discontinuation, and nonpublication, and to examine RCT characteristics associated with discontinuation due to poor recruitment and nonpublication of RCT results.
