Recurrent duplications of the annexin A1 gene (ANXA1) in autism spectrum disorders
Correia, C.T.; Conceição, I.C.; Oliveira, B.; Coelho, J.; Sousa, I.; Sequeira, A.F.; Almeida, J.; Café, C.; Duque, F; Mouga, S.; Roberts, W.; Gao, K.Validating the potential pathogenicity of copy number variants (CNVs) identified in genome-wide studies of autism spectrum disorders (ASD) requires detailed assessment of case/control frequencies, inheritance patterns, clinical correlations, and functional impact. Here, we characterize a small recurrent duplication in the annexin A1 (ANXA1) gene, identified by the Autism Genome Project (AGP) study.
Synaptic Transmission: Looking for Clues to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD) Eti...
Oliveira, B.A.; Correia, C.A.; Conceição, I.C.; Café, C.; Almeida, J.; Mouga, S.; Duque, F.; Oliveira, G.; Vicente, A.M.Copy Number Variants (CNVs) play an important role in susceptibility to ASD, often mediated by the deletion or duplication of genes involved in synaptic structure and function. Increasing evidence suggests a central role for defects in synaptic structure and function in the pathogenesis of non-syndromic ASD. In this study we tested the hypothesis of an enrichment in CNVs encompassing synaptic transmission genes...

Oliveira, B.A.; Conceição, I.C.; Correia, C.A.; Café, C.; Almeida, J.; Mouga, S.; Duque, F.; Oliveira, G.; Vicente, A.M.This work was supported by the fellowships SFRH/BD/79081/2011 to BO, SFRH/BPD/74739/2010 to ICC and SFRH/BPD/64281/2009 to CC from Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologia (FCT; Portugal). ; Copy Number Variants (CNVs) play an important role in susceptibility to Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), in particular when deleting or duplicating genes involved in synaptic structure and function such as glutamatergic syna...
The evolution of a conjugative plasmid and its ability to increase bacterial fi...
Dionisio, F.; Conceição, I.C.; Marques, A.C.R.; Fernandes, L.; Gordo, I.Conjugative plasmids are extra-chromosomal DNA elements that are capable of horizontal transmission and are found in many natural isolated bacteria. Although plasmids may carry beneficial genes to their bacterial host, they may also cause a fitness cost. In this work, we studied the evolution of the R1 plasmid and we found that, in spite of the R1 plasmid conferring an initial cost to its host, after 420 genera...
