(Para)Normalizing the Patriarchy: How Supernatural Pregnancy Storylines Shape Perceptions of Motherhood and Bodily Autonomy for Women in Angel, 1999-2004
Creators: name: Strassburger, Haley
Publisher: name: Georgia State University
Year: 2023

description:
Bridging ideas presented in contemporary media analysis and feminist theory, the research presented herein investigates the representations of pregnancy within Angel in order to draw conclusions about the lasting impacts of these story arcs for both the women who fall victim to these violent possessions and pregnancies and the male characters who bear witness as well. Extending this analysis outside of the interpersonal conflicts that emerge between these fictional characters, this thesis argues that these pregnancy storylines serve as a shibboleth of death that extends past the minutiae of these characters lives and deaths to influence their legacies, or lack thereof. This usage of shibboleth highlights the mere mention of pregnancy as an automatic signifier of death for the women of Angel; both on screen and beyond, women are held captive by their reproductive capabilities and exploited for the gains of their male counterparts even after their deaths.

description: In this paper, we present a framework for assessing the effect of non-stationary Gaussian noise and radio frequency interference (RFI) on the signal to noise ratio, the number of false positives detected per true positive and the sensitivity of standard pulsar search pipelines. The results highlight the necessity to develop algorithms that are able to identify and remove non-stationary variations from the data before RFI excision and searching is performed in order to limit false positive detections. The results also show that the spectrum whitening algorithms currently employed, severely affect the efficiency of pulsar search pipelines by reducing their sensitivity to long period pulsars.

description: In this paper have developed a novel hybrid hierarchical attention-based bidirectional recurrent neural network with dilated CNN (HARDC) method for arrhythmia classification. This solves problems that arise when traditional dilated convolutional neural network (CNN) models disregard the correlation between contexts and gradient dispersion. The proposed HARDC fully exploits the dilated CNN and bidirectional recurrent neural network unit (BiGRU-BiLSTM) architecture to generate fusion features. As a result of incorporating both local and global feature information and an attention mechanism, the model's performance for prediction is improved.By combining the fusion features with a dilated CNN and a hierarchical attention mechanism, the trained HARDC model showed significantly improved classification results and interpretability of feature extraction on the PhysioNet 2017 challenge dataset. Sequential Z-Score normalization, filtering, denoising, and segmentation are used to prepare the raw data for analysis. CGAN (Conditional Generative Adversarial Network) is then used to generate synthetic signals from the processed data. The experimental results demonstrate that the proposed HARDC model significantly outperforms other existing models, achieving an accuracy of 99.60\%, F1 score of 98.21\%, a precision of 97.66\%, and recall of 99.60\% using MIT-BIH generated ECG. In addition, this approach substantially reduces run time when using dilated CNN compared to normal convolution. Overall, this hybrid model demonstrates an innovative and cost-effective strategy for ECG signal compression and high-performance ECG recognition. Our results indicate that an automated and highly computed method to classify multiple types of arrhythmia signals holds considerable promise.

description: Telomerase is reactivated in the majority of cancers. For instance, in gliomas, it is common that the TERT promoter is mutated. Research on telomere promoter GC islands have been focused primarily on proximal TERT promoter but little is known about the distal promoter. Therefore, in this study, we investigated the proximal and distal TERT promoter, in terms of DNA methylation. We did bisulfite sequencing in zebrafish tissue samples for the distal tert promoter. In the zebrafish brain tissues, we identified a hypomethylation site in the tert promoter, and found that this hypomethylation was associated with aging and shortened telomeres. Through site directed mutagenesis in glioma cell lines, we changed 10 GC spots individually, cloned into a reporter vector, and measured promoter activity. Finally, we silenced DNMT3B and measured telomerase activity along with vidaza and adriamycin treatments. Site directed mutagenesis of glioma cell lines revealed that each of the 10 GC spots are critical for telomerase activity. Changing GC to AT abolished promoter activity in all spots when transfected into glioma cell lines. Then, through silencing of DNMT3B, we observed a reduction in hTERT expression levels, while hTR remained the same, and a major increase in senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity. Finally, we propose a model regarding the efficacy of two chemotherapeutic drugs, adriamycin and azacytidine, on gliomas. Here, we show that distal TERT promoter is critical; changing even one GC to AT abolishes TERT promoter activity. DNMT3B, a de novo methyltransferase, together with GC islands in distal TERT promoter plays an important role in regulation of telomerase expression and senescence.

description: We present an implementation of a channelizer (F-engine) running on a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). While not the first GPU implementation of a channelizer, we have put significant effort into optimizing the implementation. We are able to process four antennas each with 2 Gsample/s, 10-bit dual-polarized input and 8-bit output, on a single commodity GPU. This fully utilizes the available PCIe bandwidth of the GPU. The system is not as optimized for a single high-bandwidth antenna, but handles 6.2 Gsample/s, limited by single-core CPU performance.

description: The present analysis was to summarize the evidence of the effects of sesame and its derivatives supplementation on cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors by performing a meta-analysis of randomized controlled trials (RCTs). Electronic databases were searched from their inception to July 2020. Two investigators independently assessed articles for inclusion, extracted data, and statistical analysis. The quality of included articles was assessed according to the Cochrane risk of bias tool. Major outcomes were synthesized using a random effect model and presented as weighted mean difference and 95% confidence interval. Heterogeneity, subgroup analyses, sensitivity analysis, meta-regression, and publication bias were also conducted. The GRADE approach was used to evaluate the quality of evidence. Overall, 16 trials involving 908 participants were included for statistical pooling. Compared with the control group, sesame intake significantly decreased the levels of total cholesterol, triglycerides, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, body weight, body mass index, hip circumference, and waist circumference (P < 0.05). These results were stable in sensitivity analysis, and no significant publication bias was detected. Our findings provided evidence that sesame consumption may reduce the risk of CVD by improving blood lipids, blood pressure, and body weight management. Further large-scale, well-designed RCTs are required to confirm these results.

description: Van der Waals (vdW) heterostructures combining layered ferromagnets and other two-dimensional (2D) crystals are promising building blocks for the realization of ultra-compact devices with integrated magnetic, electronic and optical functionalities. Their implementation in various technologies depends strongly on the development of a bottom-up scalable synthesis approach allowing to realize highly uniform heterostructures with well-defined interfaces between different 2D layered materials. It also requires that each material component of the heterostructure remains functional, which ideally includes ferromagnetic order above room temperature for 2D ferromagnets. Here, we demonstrate large-area growth of Fe$_{5-x}$GeTe$_{2}$/graphene heterostructures achieved by vdW epitaxy of Fe$_{5-x}$GeTe$_{2}$ on epitaxial graphene. Structural characterization confirmed the realization of a continuous vdW heterostructure film with a sharp interface between Fe$_{5-x}$GeTe$_{2}$ and graphene. Magnetic and transport studies revealed that the ferromagnetic order persists well above 300 K with a perpendicular magnetic anisotropy. In addition, epitaxial graphene on SiC(0001) continues to exhibit a high electronic quality. These results represent an important advance beyond non-scalable flake exfoliation and stacking methods, thus marking a crucial step toward the implementation of ferromagnetic 2D materials in practical applications.

description: In recent years, a revised set of solar abundances has led to a discrepancy in the sound-speed profile between helioseismology and theoretical solar models. Conventional solutions require additional mechanisms for energy transport within the Sun. Vincent et al. have recently suggested that dark matter with a momentum or velocity dependent cross section could provide a solution. In this work, we consider three models of dark matter with such cross sections and their effect on the stellar structure. In particular, the three models incorporate dark matter particles interacting through an electromagnetic dipole moment: an electric dipole, a magnetic dipole or an anapole. Each model is implemented in the \texttt{DarkStec} stellar evolution program, which incorporates the effects of dark matter capture and heat transport within the solar interior. We show that dark matter with an anapole moment of $\sim1\mathrm{GeV}^{-2}$ or magnetic dipole moment of $\sim10^{-3}μ_p$ can improve the sound-speed profile, small frequency separations and convective zone radius with respect to the Standard Solar Model. However, the required dipole moments are strongly excluded by direct detection experiments.

description: We use both continuum and lattice models to study the energy-momentum dispersion and the dynamics of a wave packet for an electron moving in graphene in the presence of spin-orbit couplings and either a single potential barrier or a periodic array of potential barriers. Both Kane-Mele and Rashba spin-orbit couplings are considered. A number of special things occur when the Kane-Mele and Rashba couplings are equal in magnitude. In the absence of a potential, the dispersion then consists of both massless Dirac and massive Dirac states. A periodic potential is known to generate additional Dirac points; we show that spin-orbit couplings generally open gaps at all those points, but if the two spin-orbit couplings are equal, some of the Dirac points remain gapless. We show that the massless and massive states respond differently to a potential barrier; the massless states transmit perfectly through the barrier at normal incidence while the massive states reflect from it. In the presence of a single potential barrier, we show that there are states localized along the barrier. Finally, we study the time evolution of a wave packet in the presence of a periodic potential. We discover special points in momentum space where there is almost no spreading of a wave packet; there are six such points in graphene when the spin-orbit couplings are absent.

title:  Casa. Il primo mondo dell’essere umano
Creators: name: Russo , Maria Teresa
Publisher: name: Roma TrE-Press

description: Con la pandemia la casa è diventata “il luogo dove si resta”, uno spazio condiviso o, al contrario, sinonimo di solitudine. La casa è diventata mondo, ospitando personaggi, immagini, discorsi, ma anche paure, aspettative, speranze. L’invasione dei social, lo smart working e la didattica a distanza sembrano aver incrinato l’antica linea di separazione tra privato e pubblico, per cui il privato non sembra più riuscire a custodire l’intimo e sempre più spesso viene fotografato, commentato, esibito in luoghi virtuali. Chiuso e aperto: se la porta di casa rappresenta la possibilità di chiudere per preservare l’intimità, è però anche un invito a entrare, perché rende possibile accogliere e ospitare. La pandemia e i frequenti divieti ci hanno resi guardinghi e timorosi sebbene resti intatta la nostalgia di relazioni, di incontri con amici e parenti. La casa, infatti, rimane comunque il luogo pacifico e sicuro per antonomasia, centro reale e di legami sinceri.

During the pandemic, home became ‘the place where you stay’, a shared space or, on the contrary, a synonym for solitude. Home has become a world, hosting people, images, speeches, but also fears, expectations and hopes. The invasion of social networks, remote working and distance learning seem to have broken down the old dividing line between private and public, so that the private sphere no longer seems to be able to protect the intimate, which is increasingly photographed, talked about and exhibited in virtual places. Closed and open: if the door of the house represents the possibility of closing it to preserve intimacy, it is also an invitation to enter. The pandemic and frequent bans have made us cautious and fearful, even though the nostalgia for relationships and meetings with friends and relatives remains intact. Home, in fact, remains the peaceful and safe place par excellence, the real centre of sincere relationships.

description: Migration is considered as the movement of people from one geographical region to another, which may be on temporary or permanent basis. People continuously migrated to urban centers due to pushing rural problem and pulling urban attractions respectively. The movement poses some challenges in the rural migrants as well as in the urban residents even though; there are benefits derivable from it. On this perspective, this study was focused on the Assessment on Socio-Economic challenges of Rural- Urban Migrants in Addis Ababa (The Case of Gullele Sub City). Both qualitative and quantitative research approach was used in order to carry out this research. Based on the descriptive research design the study used questionnaires, observation and interviews as research data collection instrument. Target populations were taken from Gullele sub city. In this sub city 205 sample were used from three woredas purposively those woredas were 2, 5 and 10. This specific woredas were selected based on the fact that the migrants are highly concentrated in those locations and a place where very high informal street business undertaken. The research is important by proving information related to social, economic and demographic challenges of rural-urban migration which has a direct relation to planning and implementation agencies as well as institutions. From the data collected and result of the analysis, the study show that majority surveyed respondents of Gullele sub city were found young adults that are productive both social and economically. Most of them had educational level of primary education. The majority of them were also single. The surveys also show that a higher proportion of surveyed migrantsof the subcity were male migrants these migrants came from different areas with expectation of enjoying better life. However, Miserable life due to the failure to completely adapt and mitigate the urban life constraints such as the high cost of living due to increasing price of food and house rent, inflation, poor housing access, and poor sanitation (toilet and drinking water at working place particularly day time) were the typical manifestations of vulnerability conditions. They were also exposed to working for too long hours without any shelter, getting small payments, lack of access to education, and inability to fulfill necessities of life for human being.

description: A 2011 review associated eating out with increased energy intake. Popular outlets, nutrient composition, and menus may have changed since 2011. This study aimed to investigate relative contributions of foods prepared outside of home to total energy, total and saturated fat, sugars, and sodium intakes. Studies were included if they were observational cohort or cross-sectional, investigated the contributions that foods prepared out of home made to energy, nutrient intakes and/or nutrient densities of adults aged 18–64 years, published between 2009 and 2019. Socio-demographic differences were explored. Data were extracted guided by the STROBE Statement for cohort and cross-sectional studies. A descriptive, qualitative synthesis was conducted. Study quality was assessed using the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Checklists for Analytical Cross-sectional and Cohort Studies. Evidence strength was assessed using GRADE. Twenty-six studies were included. Higher consumption of foods purchased outside home increased intakes of energy and nutrients of public health concern, particularly in males and younger adults. Heterogeneity of definitions of foods prepared outside of home made comparison difficult. Studies frequently used self-reported consumption data, prone to misreporting. Foods prepared outside of home are associated with poorer diets. Policy and practice initiatives are required to address this.

description: Wisconsin H-Alpha Mapper (WHAM) observations of H-Alpha and [S II]$\lambda6716$ emission are used to trace the vertical distribution and physical conditions of the warm ionized medium (WIM) along the Sagittarius-Carina arm. CO emission, tracing cold molecular gas in the plane of the Galaxy, is used as a guide to isolate H-Alpha and [S II] emission along individual spiral arms. Exponential scale heights of electron density squared (or emission measure) are determined using H-Alpha emission above (below) the midplane to be $330 \pm 80$ pc ( $550 \pm 230$ pc) along the near Sagittarius arm, $300 \pm 100$ pc ($250 \pm 30$ pc) along the near Carina arm, and $>1000$ pc along the far Carina arm. The emission measure scale height tends to increase as a function of Galactocentric radius along the Sagittarius-Carina arm for $R_G > 8$ kpc. Physical conditions of the ionized gas are analyzed using the [S II]/H-Alpha line ratio, which more closely traces H-Alpha Intensity than height above the plane, z, suggesting a stronger relationship with the in-situ electron density. We interpret this result as further evidence for the majority of the observed diffuse emission originating from in-situ ionized gas as opposed to scattered light from classical H II regions in the plane.

description: We present a high-density relativistic reflection analysis of 21 spectra of six black hole X-ray binaries in the hard state with data from \textit{NuSTAR} and \textit{Swift}. We find that 76\% of the observations in our sample require a disk density higher than the 10$^{15}$~cm$^{-3}$ assumed in the previous reflection analysis. Compared with the measurements from active galactic nuclei, stellar mass black holes have higher disk densities. Our fits indicate that the inner disk radius is close to the innermost stable circular orbit in the hard state. The coronal temperatures are significantly lower than the prediction of a purely thermal plasma, which can be explained with a hybrid plasma model. If the disk density is fixed at 10$^{15}$~cm$^{-3}$, the disk ionization parameter would be overestimated while the inner disk radius is unaffected.

Year: 2017

description: Communities have their own capitals to contribute their resource in local economic development and they have also their own cultural and behavioral resources of interface with their immediate nature and nurture. From the standpoint of local economic development, there is a strong reliance on local resources, leaders and institutions to respond to locally based economic crises and opportunities. In light of this, the main objective of this study has made an effort to assess community participation in sustainable local economic development and the specific objective of this study were to examine and evaluate participation, roles and responsibilities, factors affecting effective participation, the challenges and opportunities of community participation in local economic development. For its methodological convenience mixed approach research design meaning that both qualitative and quantitative research approaches are used. Under qualitative method non probability purposive sampling techniques have been employed and in quantitative method probability sampling techniques have been employed. The study participants have been sub city, kebele, and ketena and mender level development committees were participated in the in FGD session. Moreover, the members of ketena, kebele, sub city and town level active participants from the communities were participated in survey questions. Besides, the town level community participation development offices heads, sub city level community participation officers, the sub city level community participation development offices heads and officers participated in the interview session. The major finding indicates, community participation and local economic development are two intertwined issues. Community participation plays a very great role in identifying development queries and challenges that were raised in compliant handling. Local economic development has become one of the key development interventions and focuses on economic challenges which manifest the communities in unique localities. Despite widespread recognition of the need of community participation in sustainable local economic development, in reality community participation builds a sense of community ownership, assures sustainability and responsibility for project activities. At last the results obtained were job opportunities were create, saving culture was developed, partnership of different institutions were developed, training and consultations were more encouraged. Finally, the community participation in sustainable local economic developed created strong social, community capital and developed sense of ownership with a very great confidence. Key words: Community capitals, community participation and local economic development and sustainable local economic development

description: Polarization singularities including bound states in the continuum (BICs) and circularly polarized states have provided promising opportunities in the manipulation of light waves. Previous studies show that BICs in photonic crystal slabs are protected by $C_{2}T$ symmetry and hence normally exist on the high-symmetry lines of momentum space. Here, we propose an approach based on graph theory to study these polarization singularities in momentum space, especially in the region off the high-symmetry lines. With a polarization graph, it is demonstrated for the first time that BICs can stably exist off the high-symmetry lines of momentum space for both one-dimensional and two-dimensional photonic crystal slabs. Furthermore, two kinds of interesting processes, including the merging involved with this newly found BICs both on and off the high-symmetry lines, are observed by merely changing the thickness of photonic crystal slab. Our findings provide a new perspective to explore polarization singularities in momentum space and render their further applications in light-matter interaction and light manipulation.

description: Previous studies on the association between alcohol intake and risk of fracture have reached conflicting findings. The aim of this systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies was to summarize earlier studies on the association of alcohol intake with risk of fracture. A systematic search of PubMed, Scopus, and ISI Web of Science was conducted up to November 2020. Prospective cohort studies that had considered alcohol consumption as the exposure variable and fracture as the main outcome or as one of the outcome variables were included in this systematic review. Publications in which odds ratios (ORs), rate or risk ratios (RRs), or hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence intervals (CIs) were reported, were included in the meta-analysis. In total, 40 prospective cohort studies including 5,084,303 participants and 170,916 subjects with fracture were included in this systematic review; of them 38 studies with a total sample size of 5,053,117 participants and 169,560 cases of fracture were included in the meta-analysis. Using a random-effects meta-analysis, we found a significant positive association between alcohol consumption and risk of total fractures (RR: 1.35; 95% CI: 1.01, 1.81) and any fractures (RR: 1.24; 95% CI: 1.11, 1.38). However, no significant association was observed between alcohol intake and risk of hip fractures (RR: 1.19; 95% CI: 0.96, 1.48), osteoporotic fractures (RR: 2.01; 95% CI: 0.76, 5.34), vertebral fractures (RR: 0.98; 95% CI: 0.68, 1.40), and wrist fractures (RR: 0.99; 95% CI: 0.85, 1.16). In conclusion, we found that alcohol consumption was positively associated with risk of total fractures and any fractures. However, we did not observe any significant association between alcohol consumption and risk of hip, osteoporotic, vertebral, and wrist fractures.

description: We study the topological susceptibility in 2+1 flavor QCD above the chiral crossover transition temperature using Highly Improved Staggered Quark action and several lattice spacings, corresponding to temporal extent of the lattice, $N_τ=6,8,10$ and $12$. We observe very distinct temperature dependences of the topological susceptibility in the ranges above and below $250$ MeV. While for temperatures above $250$ MeV, the dependence is found to be consistent with dilute instanton gas approximation, at lower temperatures the fall-off of topological susceptibility is milder. We discuss the consequence of our results for cosmology wherein we estimate the bounds on the axion decay constant and the oscillation temperature if indeed the QCD axion is a possible dark matter candidate.

description: Working in a quenched setup with Wilson twisted mass valence fermions, we explore the possibility to compute non-perturbatively the step scaling function using the coordinate (X-space) renormalization scheme. This scheme has the advantage of being on-shell and gauge invariant. The step scaling method allows us to calculate the running of the renormalization constants of quark bilinear operators. We describe here the details of this calculation. The aim of this exploratory study is to identify the feasibility of the X-space scheme when used in small volume simulations required by the step scaling technique. Eventually, we translate our final results to the continuum MSbar scheme and compare against four-loop analytic formulae finding satisfactory agreement.

description: Galactic binaries, and notably double white dwarfs systems, will be a prominent source for the future LISA and Einstein Telescope detectors. Contrarily to the black holes observed by the current LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA network, such objects bear intense magnetic fields, that are naturally expected to leave some imprints on the gravitational wave emission. The purpose of this work is thus to study those imprints within the post-Newtonian (PN) framework, particularly adapted to double white dwarfs systems. To this end, we construct an effective action that takes into account the whole electromagnetic structure of a star, and then specify it to dipolar order. With this action at hand, we compute the acceleration and Noetherian quantities for generic electric and magnetic dipoles, at a relative 2PN order. Finally, focusing on physically relevant systems, we show that the magnetic effects on the orbital frequency, energy and angular momentum is significant, confirming previous works conclusions.

description: Alterations to the LRRK2 gene have been associated with Parkinson’s disease and alcohol consumption in animals and humans. Furthermore, these disorders are strongly related to anxiety disorders (ADs). Thus, we investigated how the LRRK2 gene might influence anxiety in humans and mice. We elaborated a systematic review based on the PRISMA Statement of studies that investigated levels of anxiety in animal or human models with alterations in the LRRK2 gene. The search was conducted in the PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science databases, and in reference lists with descriptors related to ADs and the LRRK2. From the 62 articles assessed for eligibility, 16 were included: 11 conducted in humans and seven, in mice. Lrrk2 KO mice and the LRRK2 G2019S, LRRK2 R1441G, and LRRK2 R1441C variants were addressed. Five articles reported an increase in anxiety levels concerning the LRRK2 variants. Decreased anxiety levels were observed in two articles, one focusing on the LRRK2 G2019S and the other, on the Lrrk2 KO mice. Eight other articles reported no differences in anxiety levels in individuals with Lrrk2 alterations compared to their healthy controls. This study discusses a possible influence between the LRRK2 gene and anxiety, adding information to the existing knowledge respecting the influence of genetics on anxiety.

Human Resources Management Practice In Selected Civil Service Bureaus of Addis Ababa City Government
Creators: name: Berhanu, Girum

description: Unlike the Dergue regime, the current ruling party EPRDF decentralizes its power to the federal and regional governments. In the same line, each regional government also formally decentralizes adequate decision-making power to lower administrations level. This aims at promoting decentralization and getting the people together. Consequently, each regional government level has among other things, the right to use its public administration, recruit, transfer and promote. This research attempts to assess the implementation of HRM functions in Addis Ababa City Government under a decentralized context in Ethiopia using questionnaires collected from ten selected sectors and secondary data from official HRM documents of the AACSA and that of MCSC. The finding reveals better performance of HRM practice compared to centralized administrative system. However, promotion, performance assessment and reward system are not performed well as there are some indications from the findings. Moreover, to some extent the current wage structure and the minimum requirement criteria set by the CSA hinders sectors effort to attract the best candidates. Similarly, selection is often distorted by interference. The study also depicts the need for additional training, as the performance in some sectors level is not satisfactory. Besides, in some instance lack of equal access to training and need assessment is also improper. The execution of BSC also shows that the need to make the working environment more conducive. Likewise, in some sectors the uniform salary scale the country follows does not attract various professionals and hence not fully improve service delivery. Finally, the support of the CSA to the sector bureaus is minimal. Despite the above stated problems in the region, there is a positive link between decentralization and HRM as it gives each level of government to exercise their power in making decision on HRM issues without waiting another decision maker. Moreover, conducting training, creating strong link between performance and reward, making the performance assessment system more open and carrying out continuous follow up should make the decentralization process more sustainable

description: Global developmental delay (GDD) is a lifelong disability that affects 1–3% of the population around the globe. It is phenotypically variable and highly heterogeneous in terms of the underlying genetics. Patients with GDD are intellectually disabled (ID) manifesting cognitive impairment and deficient adaptive behavior. Here, we investigated a two-looped consanguineous family segregating severe ID, seizure, and progressive microcephaly. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain showed mild brain atrophy and myelination defect. Whole exome sequencing (WES) was performed on the DNA samples of two patients and a novel homozygous missense variant (Chr11:g0.93528085; NM_004268.5_c.871T > C; p. Trp291Gly) was identified in the MED17 gene. Sanger sequencing revealed that the identified variant is heterozygous in both parents and healthy siblings. This variant is conserved among different species, causes a non-conserved amino acid change, and is predicted deleterious by various in silico tools. The variant is not reported in population variant databases. MED17 (OMIM: 613668) encodes for the mediator of RNA polymerase II transcription complex subunit 17. Structure modeling of MED17 protein revealed that Trp291 is involved in different inter-helical interactions, providing structural stability. Replacement of Trp291Gly, a less hydrophobic amino acid loses the inter-helical interaction leading to a perturb variant of MED17 protein.
