The First Report of a Homozygous TUBG1 Splice Variant: Expanding the Genetic Spectrum of Tubulinopathies and Confirming the Dominant-Negative Effect

This paper reports the first case of a homozygous TUBG1 splice variant in two siblings with tubulinopathy symptoms, expanding the known mutational spectrum and suggesting a recessive inheritance mechanism.

Study of the protective OAS1 rs10774671-G allele against severe COVID-19 in Moroccans suggests a North African origin for Neanderthals

The paper examines the OAS1 rs10774671-G allele's protective effect against severe COVID-19 in Moroccans and suggests a Neanderthal origin in North Africa.
