Translational Regulation of the Human PERK by Upstream Open Reading Frames
Fernandes, Rafael; Rodrigues, Rosário; Lopes, Pedro; Romão, LuísaUpstream open reading frames (uORFs) are cis-acting elements located within the 5’ leader sequence (5’UTR) of transcripts, which can regulate translation of the correspondent main open reading frame (mORF). During endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, the accumulation of unfolded proteins activates the ER-resident PKR-like ER kinase (PERK), which results in phosphorylation of eIF2α to inhibit global mRNA translati...

Cardoso, Maria Luís; Bandeira, Anabela; Lopes, Altina; Rodrigues, Márcia; Venâncio, Margarida; Marques, Jorge Sales; Janeiro, Patrícia; Ferreira, InêsA síndrome de Smith-Lemli-Opitz (SLOS) é uma síndrome polimalformativa de transmissão autossómica recessiva causada por um défice metabólico da biossíntese do colesterol, que se caracteriza por dismorfias craniofaciais, anomalias congénitas de vários órgãos (salientando-se as do esqueleto e do aparelho urogenital), restrição de crescimento intra-uterino (RCIU), alterações comportamentais e atraso mental. É caus...
A rare de novo unbalanced complex rearrangement involving chromosomes 12, 18 an...
Alves, Cristina; Marques, Bárbara; Brito, Filomena; Silva, Marisa; Rodrigues, Rosário; Duarte, Guida; Sousa, Ana Berta; Bicho, AnabelaComplex chromosomal rearrangements (CCRs) are rare structural abnormalities that involve three or more breakpoints located on two or more chromosomes and are often associated with developmental delay, mental retardation and congenital anomalies. Here, we report the case of a rare de novo CCR in a girl who was 9 months old when first reported to us. At 15 months old, her clinical features included marked hypoton...
