To read the full abstract: Endocrinology. 2019;160:13631376.Pregnancy-associated plasma protein A2 (PAPP-A2) is a metalloproteinase which, by cleaving IGFBP-3 and IGFBP-5, releases free IGF-I from the ternary complexes and regulates its bioavailability. PAPPA2 gene mutations (p.D643fs25* and p.Ala1033Val) have recently been described in various members of two unrelated fam...

Abstract Link: Nat Genet. 2019 Jan;51(1):96105.In brief: Gain-of-function mutations altering DNMT3A are identified as a new cause of microcephalic dwarfism. Modelling of the disease in mice show that the mutations abrogate DNMT3A binding to H3K36me2 and H3K36me3 and lead to aberrant DNA methylation of Polycomb-marked regions and therefore repression ...

To read the full abstract: Mol Cell Endocrinol 2018; 15;473:166-177Signal transducers and activators of transcription (STAT) proteins are transcription factors transiently activated by different ligands such as cytokines, growth factors, or peptides, which trigger intracellular tyrosine phosphorylation along the JAK-STAT signaling pathway. Phosphorylated STAT induces...
