Familial Hypercholesterolemia: The Lipids or the Genes? [PDF]
Nutrition & Metabolism, 2011 Familial Hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common cause of premature cardiovascular disease and is often undiagnosed in young people. Although the disease is diagnosed clinically by high LDL cholesterol levels and family history, to date there are no single internationally accepted criteria for the diagnosis of FH.

Molecular Evolution and Expression Divergence of Aconitase (ACO) Gene Family in Land Plants
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2016 Aconitase (ACO) is a key enzyme that catalyzes the isomerization of citrate to isocitrate in the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) and glyoxylate cycles. The function of ACOs has been well studied in model plants, such as Arabidopsis.

Improved soybean oil quality by targeted mutagenesis of the fatty acid desaturase 2 gene family.
Plant Biotechnology Journal, 2014 Soybean oil is high in polyunsaturated fats and is often partially hydrogenated to increase its shelf life and improve oxidative stability. The trans-fatty acids produced through hydrogenation pose a health threat.

Characterizing gene family evolution [PDF]
Biological Procedures Online, 2008 Gene families are widely used in comparative genomics, molecular evolution, and in systematics. However, they are constructed in different manners, their data analyzed and interpreted differently, with different underlying assumptions, leading to sometimes divergent conclusions.

Genome-wide identification and characterization of stress-associated protein (SAP) gene family encoding A20/AN1 zinc-finger proteins in Medicago truncatula [PDF]
Archives of Biological Sciences, 2018 Stress associated proteins (SAPs) play important roles in developmental processes, responses to various stresses and hormone stimulation in plants. However, little is known about the SAP gene family in Medicago truncatula.

The porcine cerebellin gene family [PDF]
Gene, 2021 Cerebellins (CBLN1-4), together with C1qTNF proteins, belong to the CBLN subfamily of C1q proteins. Cerebellin-1 (CBLN1) is active in synapse formation and functions at the parallel fiber-Purkinje cell synapses. Cerebellins form tripartite complexes with neurexins and the glutamate-receptor-related proteins GluD1 and GluD2, playing a role as trans ...
