To read the full abstract: J Clin Invest. 2020;130:1479–1490.This detailed genetic and molecular analysis of a three-generation family reveals a new form of autosomal dominant tumor susceptibility syndrome entitled familial multinodular goiter (MNG) with schwannomatosis. Biallelic alterations of the DGCR8 gene were found in all affected patients: First, all patients harbored the same heterozygous germline mutation p.E518K. Secondly...

Science 2020 Sep; 369(6509): eaba3066https://bit.ly/3wMzM8xBy integrating sex-specific Genotype-Tissue Expression (GTEx) data with gene function and transcription factor binding annotations, these authors describe mechanisms contributing to sex differences in the human transcriptome.Many complex human traits and diseases exhibit sex-specific characteristics. These sex differences have b...
