Clinical and Genetic Characteristics of Splicing Variant in CYP27A1 in an Iranian Family with Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis [PDF]
Background Cerebrotendinous xanthomatosis (CTX) is a rare congenital lipid-storage disorder, leading to a progressive multisystem disease. CTX with autosomal recessive inheritance is caused by a defect in the CYP27A1 gene.

Host CYP27A1 expression is essential for ovarian cancer progression. [PDF]
There is an urgent need for more effective strategies to treat ovarian cancer. Elevated cholesterol levels are associated with a decreased progression free survival time (PFS) while statins are protective.
