1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Recently, we defined a minimal overlapping region for causal Xp11.22 copy number gains in males with intellectual disability (ID), and identified HECT, UBA and WWE domain-containing protein-1 (HUWE1) as the primary dosage-sensitive gene, whose overexpression leads to ID. In the present study, we used this minimal interval to search for HUWE1 copy number variations by quantitative polymerase chain reaction in a large cohort of Brazilian males with idiopathic ID. We detected two unrelated sporadic individuals with syndromic ID carrying unique overlapping duplications encompassing HUWE1. Breakpoint junction analysis showed a simple tandem duplication in the first patient, which has probably arisen by microhomology-mediated break-induced repair mechanism. In the second patient, the rearrangement is complex having an insertion of an intrachromosomal sequence at its junction. This kind of rearrangement has not been reported in Xp11.22 duplications and might have emerged by a replication- or recombination-based mechanism. Furthermore, the presence of infantile seizures in the second family suggests a potential role of increased KDM5C expression on epilepsy. Our findings highlight the importance of microduplications at Xp11.22 to ID, even in sporadic cases, and reveal new clinical and molecular insight into HUWE1 copy number gains.
