Integrative analysis of Lunatic Fringe variants associated with spondylocostal dysostosis type‐III
Molecular categorization of Lunatic Fringe (LFNG) variants which cause spondylocostal dysostosis type‐III. Each category is characterized by the variants’ effect on subcellular localization and enzymatic functionality. We hypothesize that the summative effect of variants on these two characteristics may contribute to a genotype–phenotype correlation ...

Animal models for studying neural crest development: is the mouse different? [PDF]
The neural crest is a uniquely vertebrate cell type and has been well studied in a number of model systems. Zebrafish, Xenopus and chick embryos largely show consistent requirements for specific genes in early steps of neural crest development.

Lysosomal storage diseases as a complex pathophysiological and clinical problem - part one [PDF]
Lysosomal storage diseases (LSDs) are a group of rare genetic diseases that are characterized by the accumulation of undecomposed molecules in lysosomes due to deficits in specific enzymes. One of the most common subtypes of LSDs is mucopolysaccharidoses

Clinical and radiographic features of pycnodysostosis : a case report [PDF]
Pycnodysostosis is a rare disorder that was first described in 1962; however, it was only in 1996 that the defective gene was discovered, which led to a better understanding of this disease.
