More than 20 years after the link between IGHMBP2 and SMARD1 was revealed, and 10 years after the discovery of the association between IGHMBP2 and CMT2S, the pathogenic mechanism of these diseases is still not well defined. The discovery that IGHMBP2 functions as an RNA/DNA helicase was an important step, but it did not reveal the pathogenic mechanism. Helicases are enzymes that use ATP hydrolysis to catalyse the separation of nucleic acid strands. They are involved in numerous cellular processes, including DNA repair and transcription; RNA splicing, transport, editing and degradation; ribosome biogenesis; translation; telomere maintenance; and homologous recombination. IGHMBP2 appears to be a multifunctional factor involved in several cellular processes that regulate gene expression. It is difficult to determine which processes, when dysregulated, lead to pathology. Here, we summarise our current knowledge of the clinical presentation of IGHMBP2-related diseases. We also overview the available models, including yeast, mice and cells, which are used to study the function of IGHMBP2 and the pathogenesis of the related diseases. Further, we discuss the structure of the IGHMBP2 protein and its postulated roles in cellular functioning. Finally, we present potential anomalies that may result in the neurodegeneration observed in IGHMBP2-related disease and highlight the most prominent ones.</p>","PeriodicalId":19151,"journal":{"name":"Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology","volume":"50 4","pages":"e13005"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141907233","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Nanopore sequencing yielded high-confidence results in a rapid timeframe, typically within hours of sequencing, and extended the analysis to all 98 CpGs of the MGMT CpG-island.</p><p><strong>Conclusions: </strong>This study presents nanopore sequencing as a valid and efficient method for determining MGMT promotor methylation status. It offers a comprehensive view of the MGMT promoter methylation landscape, which enables the identification of potentially clinically relevant subgroups of patients. Further exploration of the clinical implications of patient stratification using nanopore sequencing of MGMT is warranted.</p>","PeriodicalId":19151,"journal":{"name":"Neuropathology and Applied Neurobiology","volume":"50 3","pages":"e12984"},"PeriodicalIF":5.0,"publicationDate":"2024-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141087819","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
