  • Patent number: 10969933
    Abstract: A device may receive data associated with executing a model. The data may be associated with a solver used during execution of the model. The device may determine a presentation order of a plurality of model items based on the data associated with executing the model. The solver may be used to determine values associated with the plurality of model items. The presentation order of the plurality of model items may be determined based on a plurality of factors. The plurality of factors may be associated with the values. The device may generate a graphical interface that indicates the presentation order of the plurality of model items. The device may provide the graphical interface. The graphical interface may provide, for display, a list of the plurality of model items. The list may be provided in association with the presentation order.

  • Patent number: 9523698
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing the presence of hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP) or predicting the risk of developing HSP in a human subject, comprising detecting the presence or absence of a defect in a gene encoding a polypeptide comprising the sequence of FIG. 9 (SEQ ID NO: 19), in a nucleic acid sample of the subject, whereby the detection of the defect is indicative that the subject has or is at risk of developing HSP.

  • Publication number: 20160215347
    Abstract: A novel gene (EPM2A) that is deleted or mutated in people with Lafora's disease is described. The EPM2A gene encodes a protein having an active catalytic site of a protein tyrosine phosphatase. Many different sequence mutations as well as several microdeletions in EPM2A have been found that co-segregate with Lafora's disease.

  • Patent number: 8143005
    Abstract: The present invention relates to epilepsy. More particularly, the present invention relates to idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) and to the identification of three genes mapping to chromosome 2, which show mutations in patients with epilepsy. The invention further relates to nucleic acid sequences, and protein sequences of these loci (SCNA) and to the use thereof to assess, diagnose, prognose or treat epilepsy, to predict an epileptic individual's response to medication and to identify agents which modulate the function of the SCNA. The invention also provides screening assays using SCN1A, SCN2A and/or SCN3A which can identify compounds which have therapeutic benefit for epilepsy and related neurological disorders.

  • Patent number: 7364852
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a human PAB II gene containing transcribed polymorphic GCG repeat, which comprises a sequence as set forth in SEQ ID NO:3, which includes introns and flanking genomic sequence. The allelic variants of GCG repeat of the human PAB II gene are associated with a disease related with protein accumulation in nucleus, such as polyalanine accumulation, a disease related with swallowing difficulties, such as oculopharyngeal muscular dystrophy. The present invention also relates to a method for the diagnosis of a disease with protein accumulation in nucleus, which comprises the steps of: a) obtaining a nucleic acid sample of said patient; and b) determining allelic variants of GCG repeat of the gene of claim 1, and wherein long allelic variants are indicative of a disease related with protein accumulation in nucleus.
