J Clin Endocrinol Metab. 2020;105(2):dgaa465. doi: 10.1210/clinem/dgaa465. PMID: 32685970This study aimed to identify potential (epi)genetic causes of short stature in 20 SGA children (13 boys; 7 girls) treated with rhGH. Exome sequencing, single-nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array (both performed in the whole cohort) and genome-wide methylation analysis (performed in a random subset of 10 ...

Brief Summary: These authors performed exhaustive saturation genome editing (SGE) of BAP1 (BRCA1-associated protein 1), the disruption of which is linked to tumorigenesis and altered neurodevelopment. 18,108 unique variants were characterized, of which 6,196 were found to have abnormal functions. These were then used to evaluate phenotypic associations in the UK Biobank. BAP1 variants were also characterized in a large population-ascertained tumor collection,...
