Cellular SLC35B4 promotes internalization during influenza A virus entry [PDF]
SLC35B4, a nucleotide sugar transporter that mediates the transport of UDP-GlcNAc and UDP-xylose, was found to be required for the replication of influenza A virus (IAV) of the H5N1 subtype in our genome-wide siRNA library screen. We found that defective

Cases report: Mosaic structural variants of the EXT1 gene in previously genetically unconfirmed multiple osteochondromas [PDF]
Multiple osteochondromas (MO) is a rare autosomal dominant skeletal disorder characterized by the development of multiple benign tumors known as osteochondromas. The condition is predominantly caused by loss-of-function variants in the EXT1 or EXT2 genes,

Surgical Approach and Considerations for Compressive Thoracic Intraspinal Osteochondroma in Familial Hereditary Multiple Exostosis [PDF]
Introduction: Hereditary multiple exostosis or hereditary multiple osteochondromas is a very rare clinical condition. Usually, these lesions tend to occur in the pediatric population, remaining silent until adulthood.

A novel mutation in ext2 caused hereditary multiple exostoses through reducing the synthesis of heparan sulfate [PDF]
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is a rare skeletal disorder characterized by the formation of multiple benign cartilage-capped tumors, usually in the metaphyseal region of the long bones.

Proteomic Analysis of Complement Proteins in Membranous Nephropathy
Introduction: Membranous nephropathy (MN) is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in Caucasian adults. Phospholipase A2 receptor (PLA2R)– and exostosin 1 (EXT1)/exostosin 2 (EXT2)–associated MN represent the most common primary and secondary forms

Mice deficient in Ext2 lack heparan sulfate and develop exostoses [PDF]
Hereditary multiple exostoses (HME) is a genetically heterogeneous human disease characterized by the development of bony outgrowths near the ends of long bones. HME results from mutations in EXT1 and EXT2,genes that encode glycosyltransferases that synthesize heparan sulfate chains. To study the relationship of the disease to mutations in these genes,

Mutations in the EXT1 and EXT2 Genes in Hereditary Multiple Exostoses [PDF]
Hereditary multiple exostoses (EXT; MIM 133700) is an autosomal dominant bone disorder characterized by the presence of multiple benign cartilage-capped tumors (exostoses). Besides suffering complications caused by the pressure of these exostoses on the surrounding tissues, EXT patients are at an increased risk for malignant chondrosarcoma, which may ...
