Epigenetics and triplet-repeat neurological diseases [PDF]
The term ‘junk DNA’ has been reconsidered following the delineation of the functional significance of repetitive DNA regions. Typically associated with centromeres and telomeres, DNA repeats are found in nearly all organisms throughout their genomes ...

ClC-1 chloride channels: state-of-the-art research and future challenges
The voltage-dependent ClC-1 chloride channel belongs to the CLC channel/transporter family. It is a homodimer comprising two individual pores which can operate independently or simultaneously according to two gating modes, the fast and the slow gate of ...

Molecular cloning of ion channels in Felis catus that are related to periodic paralyses in man: a contribution to the understanding of the genetic susceptibility to feline neck ventroflexion and paralysis [PDF]
Neck ventroflexion in cats has different causes; however, the most common is the hypokalemia associated with flaccid paralysis secondary to chronic renal failure.

Characterization and identification of hidden rare variants in the human genome [PDF]
BackgroundBy examining the genotype calls generated by the 1000 Genomes Project we discovered that the human reference genome GRCh37 contains almost 20,000 loci in which the reference allele has never been observed in healthy individuals and around 70 ...

Abstract Chloride intracellular channels (CLICs) are important in cardiac cellular physiology. We aimed to determine the pathophysiological roles of CLICs in the heart. For this, we analyzed CLIC expression in cardiomyocytes in a mouse transverse aortic constriction (TAC) model to induce cardiac hypertrophy and failure, as well as in ventricular ...
