      Kayserili, Hülya; Uz, Elif; Niessen, Carien; Vargel, İbrahim; Alanay, Yasemin; Tuncbilek, Gökhan; Yigit, Gokhan; Uyguner, Oya; Candan, Sukru; Okur, Hamza; Kaygin, Serkan; Balci, Sevim; Mavili, Emin; Alikasifoglu, Mehmet; Haase, Ingo; Wollnik, Bernd; Akarsu, Nurten Ayse (Oxford Univ Press, 2009)
      Genetic control of craniofacial morphogenesis requires a complex interaction of numerous genes encoding factors essential for patterning and differentiation. We present two Turkish families with a new autosomal recessive ...
    • Cpg Methylation In The Fhit Regulatory Region: Relation To Fhit Expression In Murine Tumors 

      Han, SY; Iliopoulos, D; Druck, T; Guler, G; Grubbs, CJ; Pereira, M; Zhang, ZQ; You, M; Lubet, RA; Fong, LYY; Huebner, K (Nature Publishing Group, 2004)
      To determine if: (1) 5' CpG island methylation is related to Fhit inactivation; (2) there are tumor or carcinogen-specific methylation patterns, we examined 35 CpG sites in the promoter, exon and intron 1 of the mouse Fhit ...
    • Decreased Catalytic Activity And Altered Activation Properties Of Pde6C Mutants Associated With Autosomal Recessive Achromatopsia

U.; Meuthen, Ingo; Callen, David F.; Kerwin, Janet; Lindsay, Susan; Meindl, Alfons; Gupta, Mohan L; Jr.; Pellman, David; Engle, Elizabeth C. (Cell Press, 2010)
      We report that eight heterozygous missense mutations in TUBB3, encoding the neuron-specific beta-tubulin isotype III, result in a spectrum of human nervous system disorders that we now call the TUBB3 syndromes. Each mutation ...
    • Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms On The Ryd5 Gene In Nasal Polyposis 

      Ozdas, Sibel; Izbirak, Afife; Ozdas, Talih; Ozcan, Kursat Murat; Erbek, Selim S.; Koseoglu, Sabri; Dere, Huseyin (Mary Ann Liebert, Inc, 2015)
      Nasal polyposis (NP) is a chronic inflammatory disease. Several genes play major roles in the pathophysiology of the disease. We analyzed RYD5 gene polymorphisms to determine the effect of these variants or their genetic ...
    • Worldwide Distribution And Broader Clinical Spectrum Of Muscle-Eye-Brain Disease 

      Taniguchi, K; Kobayashi, K; Saito, K; Yamanouchi, H; Ohnuma, A; Hayashi, YK; Manya, H; Jin, DK; Lee, M; Parano, E; Falsaperla, R; Pavone, P; Van Coster, R; Talim, B; Steinbrecher, A; Straub, V; Nishino, I; Topaloglu, H; Voit, T; Endo, T; Toda, T (Oxford Univ Press, 2003)
      Muscle-eye-brain disease (MEB), an autosomal recessive disorder prevalent in Finland, is characterized by congenital muscular dystrophy, brain malformation and ocular abnormalities. Since the MEB phenotype overlaps ...
    • X-Linked Recessive Inheritance Of Radial Ray Deficiencies In A Family With Four Affected Males 

      Galjaard, RJH; Kostakoglu, N; Hoogeboom, JJM; Breedveld, GJ; van der Linde, HC; Hovius, SER; Oostra, BA; Sandkuijl, LA; Akarsu, AN; Heutink, P (Nature Publishing Group, 2001)
      Radial ray deficiencies are frequently associated with additional clinical anomalies and have a heterogeneous aetiology. X-linked forms are extremely rare. We report a family in which four male relatives show bilateral ...
