Genetic and transcriptomic determinants of disseminated coccidioidomycosis identify a founder variant in NLRX1 and ancestry-specific rare variants in immune response genes

Samantha L. Niles-Jensen, Sarah J. Spendlove, Alexis V Stephens…·Valerie A. Arboleda

This study identifies genetic and transcriptomic factors associated with severe coccidioidomycosis, finding a founder variant in NLRX1 linked to African ancestry and increased disease risk.

KAT6A mutations drive transcriptional dysregulation of cell cycle and Autism risk genes in an Arboleda-Tham Syndrome cerebral organoid model

Aileen A. Nava, Connor T. Jops, Celine K. Vuong…·Valerie A. Arboleda

This study shows KAT6A mutations cause transcriptional dysregulation of cell cycle and autism risk genes in cerebral organoids, leading to delayed neural differentiation and altered gene expression patterns.
