TAT Antibody

1. Data analysis did not reveal a genotype-phenotype correlation, but stressed the need of early diagnosis: All patients improved the oculocutaneous lesions after dietary treatment but neurological symptoms prevailed. The discovery of founder mutations in isolated populations, and the benefits of early intervention, should increase diagnostic awareness in newborns. PMID: 28255985
2. Sequencing of TAT indicated two new homozygous mutations p.L312P (c.935T>C) and p.T408M (c.1223C>T) for the proband and his asymptomatic sister. PMID: 27285949
3. Two known mutations and one novel mutation was found in the TAT gene of Tunesian Richner-Hanhart syndrome patients. The geographical distribution of RHS mutations shows regional specificities. PMID: 23954227
4. A paternal inherited frameshift mutation c.1213delCinsAG at codon 405 causing a premature stop codon, and a maternally inherited deletion of 193kb encompassing the complete TAT gene yield the first complete TAT deletion in tyrosinaemia type II described. PMID: 21636300
5. tumor suppressive mechanism of TAT was associated with its proapoptotic role in a mitochondrial-dependent manner by promoting cytochrome-c release and activating caspase-9 and PARP. PMID: 20209601
6. two novel missense mutations were identified - (C151Y) and (L273P) within exon 5 and exon 8, respectively in tyrosinemia type II in three unrelated consanguinous Tunisian families PMID: 16574453
7. a silent exonic transversion in TAT causes complete missplicing by exon 11 skipping in oculocutaneous tyrosinaemia type II PMID: 16917729
8. Genetically modified adenoviral vector with the protein transduction domain of Tat improves gene transfer to CAR-deficient cells. PMID: 18721127
9. a heterozygous insertion mutation (c.446_447insA; p.D149DfsX28) was found in exon 4 leading to a frameshift and finally resulting in a premature stop codon and a heterozygous missense mutation (c.658C>T; p.P220S) was identified in exon 5. PMID: 18945316
