Delta-like and Gtl2 are reciprocally expressed differentially methylated linked imprinted genes on mouse chromosome 12
(2000)The distal portion of mouse chromosome 12 is imprinted. To date, however, Gtl2 is the only imprinted gene identified on chromosome 12. Gtl2 encodes multiple alternatively spliced transcripts with no apparent open reading ...

Human papillomavirus association with head and neck cancers: Understanding virus biology and using it in the development of cancer diagnostics
(2008)The link between human papillomaviruses (HPVs) and human cervical cancers has long been established. However, HPVs are now being detected in another type of cancer not previously associated with this virus, head and neck ...

Identification of biomarkers that distinguish human papillomavirus (HPV)-positive versus HPV-negative head and neck cancers in a mouse model
(2006)Head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) is a leading cause of cancer mortality worldwide. Recent reports have associated a subset of HNSCC with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPVs), particularly HPV16, the same ...

Article
Role of Rb-dependent and Rb-independent functions of papillomavirus E7 oncogene in head and neck cancer
(2007)Infection with high-risk human papillomaviruses (HPV) and in particular the expression of the viral proteins E6 and E7 have been associated with the etiology of a subset of head and neck squamous cell cancer (HNSCC). ...

Substitution of cysteine for glycine-α1-691 in the proα1(I) chain of type I procollagen in a proband with lethal osteogenesis imperfecta destabilizes the triple helix at a site C-terminal to the substitution
(1991)Skin fibroblast from a proband with lethal osteogenesis imperfecta synthesized a type I procollagen containing a cysteine residue in the α1(I) helical domain. Assay of thermal stability of the triple helix by proteinase ...

Medullary cystic kidney disease with hyperuricemia and gout in a large Cypriot family: No allelism with nephronophthisis type 1
(1998)We describe a large Cypriot family with an interstitial type of nephropathy, inherited as an autosomal dominant trait that led to end stage renal failure between 51 to 78 years of age (mean 62.2 years). Twenty-three people ...

Article
Outcome of kidney transplantation in autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease type 1
(2003)Background. Autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease (ADMCKD) is an inherited, distinct, chronic, tubulointerstitial, cystic-type nephropathy, often described together with juvenile nephronophthisis as a single ...

Article
Co-Inheritance of Functional Podocin Variants with Heterozygous Collagen IV Mutations Predisposes to Renal Failure
(2015)BACKGROUND/AIMS: A subset of patients who present with proteinuria and are diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) have inherited heterozygous COL4A3/A4 mutations and are also diagnosed with thin basement ...

Changing stem cell dynamics during papillomavirus infection: Potential roles for cellular plasticity in the viral lifecycle and disease
(2017)Stem cells and cellular plasticity are likely important components of tissue response to infection. There is emerging evidence that stem cells harbor receptors for common pathogen motifs and that they are receptive to local ...

Renal graft outcome in autosomal dominant medullary cystic kidney disease type 1
(2013)Background: Medullary cystic kidney disease (MCKD) is an inherited interstitial nephritis, leading to endstage renal disease (ESRD) between the fourth and seventh decade of life. MCKD shares clinical and morphological ...

Mutation analysis of coding sequences for type I procollagen in individuals with low bone density
(1994)Mutations in one of the two genes encoding type I procollagen (COL1A1 and COL1A2) are frequently the cause of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a disorder characterized by brittle bones. Here we tested whether patients with ...

Article
Predicting bird song from space
(2013)Environmentally imposed selection pressures are well known to shape animal signals. Changes in these signals can result in recognition mismatches between individuals living in different habitats, leading to reproductive ...

HIV-specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes, HLA-A11, and chemokine-related factors may act synergistically to determine HIV resistance in CCR5 Δ32-negative female sex workers in Chiang Rai, northern Thailand
(2001)Understanding how highly HIV-exposed individuals remain HIV uninfected may be useful for HIV vaccine design and development of new HIV prevention strategies. To elucidate mechanisms associated with resistance to HIV ...

Mutation in a gene for type I procollagen (COL1A2) in a woman with postmenopausal osteoporosis: Evidence for phenotypic and genotypic overlap with mild osteogenesis imperfecta
(1991)Mutations in the two genes for type I collagen (COL1A1 or COL1A2) cause osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a heritable disease characterized by moderate to extreme brittleness of bone early in life. Here we show that a 52-year-old ...

Polarized distribution of Bcr-Abl in migrating myeloid cells and co-localization of Bcr-Abl and its target proteins
(1999)Bcr-Abl plays a critical role in the pathogenesis of Philadelphia chromosome-positive leukemia. Although a large number of substrates and interacting proteins of Bcr-Abl have been identified, it remains unclear whether ...

An error in dystrophin mRNA processing in golden retriever muscular dystrophy, an animal homologue of Duchenne muscular dystrophy
(1992)Golden retriever muscular dystrophy (GRMD) is a spontaneous, X-linked, progressively fatal disease of dogs and is also a homologue of Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD). Two-thirds of DMD patients carry detectable deletions ...
