- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome
[作者:Weksberg, R; Shuman, C; Beckwith, JB,期刊:European Journal of Human Genetics, 页码:8-14 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2010年18-1]
- Beckwith-Wiedemann syndrome (BWS) is a model disorder for the study of imprinting, growth dysregulation, and tumorigenesis. Unique observations in this disorder point to an important embryonic developmental window releva...
- Functional analysis of Ectodysplasin-A mutations causing selective tooth agenesis
[作者:Mues, G; Tardivel, A; Willen, L; Kapadia, H; Seaman, R; Frazier-Bowers, S; Schneider, P; D'Souza, RN,期刊:European Journal of Human Genetics, 页码:19-25 , 文章类型: Article,,卷期:2010年18-1]
- Mutations of the Ectodysplasin-A (EDA) gene are generally associated with the syndrome hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (MIM 305100), but they can also manifest as selective, non-syndromic tooth agenesis (MIM300606). We...
- Novel IL31RA gene mutation and ancestral OSMR mutant allele in familial primary cutaneous amyloidosis
