Characterization of the murine lbx2 promoter, identification of the human homologue, and evaluation as a candidate for alstrom syndrome. [PDF]
The murine Lbx2 gene is a member of the ladybird family of homeobox genes, which is expressed in the developing urogenital system, eye, and brain. Using transgenic mice, we demonstrate that 9 kb of the 5\u27 flanking region of mouse Lbx2 is able to ...

Arrayed primer extension technology simplifies mutation detection in Bardet-Biedl and Alstrom syndrome. [PDF]
Bardet-Biedl syndrome (BBS; OMIM no. 209 900) and Alstrom syndrome (ALMS; OMIM no. 203 800) are rare, multisystem genetic disorders showing both a highly variable phenotype and considerable phenotypic overlap; they are included in the emerging group ...

Mutation of ALMS1, a large gene with a tandem repeat encoding 47 amino acids, causes Alstrom syndrome [PDF]
Alstrom syndrome (OMIM 203800) is an autosomal recessive disease, characterized by cone-rod retinal dystrophy, cardiomyopathy and type 2 diabetes mellitus, that has been mapped to chromosome 2p13 (refs 1-5).

Hypertension precedes metabolic syndrome in the alms1 (alstrom syndrome 1) knockout rat [PDF]
We previously found that Alstrom syndrome 1 protein (ALMS1) is expressed in the kidney where it regulates thick ascending limb (TAL) NaCl reabsorption by controlling NKCC2 endocytosis.
