A deleterious mutation in the ALMS1 gene in a naturally occurring model of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in the Sphynx cat

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases, 16(108).

By: K. Meurs n , B. Williams n, D. DeProspero n, D. Malarkey*, S. Friedenberg*, A. Ezzell *, B. Keene n, D. Adin n, T. DeFrancesco n , S. Tou n 

author keywords: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy; ALMS1; Feline; Mitogenic; Sphynx
MeSH headings : Animals; Cardiomyopathy, Hypertrophic / genetics; Cats / genetics; Cell Cycle Proteins / genetics; Exons; Mice; Mutation / genetics
topics (OpenAlex): Cardiomyopathy and Myosin Studies; Congenital heart defects research; Congenital Heart Disease Studies
TL;DR: This study demonstrates a novel form of cardiomyopathy associated with ALMS1 in the cat, and suggests that variants in genes involved with cardiac development and cell regulation, like the AL MS1 gene, may deserve further consideration for association with familial hypertrophic cardiopathy.

Trivedi, S., Clark, J. C., Deprospero, D., Royal, K., & See, M. T. (2021, July 1). Translational Animal Science, Vol. 7.

By: S. Trivedi n, J. Clark n, D. Deprospero n, K. Royal n  & M. See n 

author keywords: career development course; pre-professional identity development; pre-veterinary advising; pre-veterinary curriculum; self-efficacy; vicarious experiences
topics (OpenAlex): Veterinary Practice and Education Studies; Problem and Project Based Learning; Diverse Educational Innovations Studies
TL;DR: The results of the study showed that students experienced significant gains in self-appraisal, gathering occupational information, and planning and problem-solving as well as experienced a decrease in five misperceptions about veterinary admissions. (via Semantic Scholar)

Myxomatous mitral valve disease in Miniature Schnauzers and Yorkshire Terriers: 134 cases (2007–2016)

DeProspero, D. J., O’Donnell, K. A., DeFrancesco, T. C., Keene, B. W., Tou, S. P., Adin, D. B., … Meurs, K. M. (2021, November 10). Journal of the American Veterinary Medical Association, Vol. 12, pp. 1428–1432.

By: D. DeProspero n, K. O’Donnell n, T. DeFrancesco n , B. Keene n, S. Tou n , D. Adin n, C. Atkins n, K. Meurs n 

MeSH headings : Animals; Dog Diseases / epidemiology; Dogs; Heart Valve Diseases / veterinary; Humans; Mitral Valve; Mitral Valve Prolapse / epidemiology; Mitral Valve Prolapse / veterinary; Prospective Studies
topics (OpenAlex): Cardiovascular Conditions and Treatments; Veterinary Oncology Research; Microbial infections and disease research
TL;DR: Features of the disease among Miniature Schnauzers and Yorkshire Terriers were similar, but there were also a few discernable differences between these 2 breeds and from historical findings for dogs with MMVD of other breeds. (via Semantic Scholar)

Neuromuscular Disorders, 30(5), 353–359.

By: N. Olby n , S. Friedenberg*, K. Meurs n , D. DeProspero n, J. Guevar n, J. Lau  n, O. Yost n, L. Guo *, G. Shelton *

author keywords: Canine; Centronuclear myopathy; Myotubularin myopathy
MeSH headings : Animals; Dogs; Male; Myopathies, Structural, Congenital / genetics; Myopathies, Structural, Congenital / pathology; Myopathies, Structural, Congenital / physiopathology; Pedigree; Phenotype; Protein Tyrosine Phosphatases, Non-Receptor / genetics
