Two Different Brain Injury Patterns Associated with Compound Heterozygosis of the PIGO Gene in a Term Newborn: A Case Report [PDF]
The glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) is a glycol–lipid that anchors several proteins to the cell surface. The GPI-anchor pathway is crucial for the correct function of proteins involved in cell function, and it is fundamental in early neurogenesis and ...

Prox1-Heterozygosis Sensitizes the Pancreas to Oncogenic Kras-Induced Neoplastic Transformation
The current paradigm of pancreatic neoplastic transformation proposes an initial step whereby acinar cells convert into acinar-to-ductal metaplasias, followed by progression of these lesions into neoplasias under sustained oncogenic activity and ...

A de novo variant of the COL3A1 gene: causality of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome [PDF]
To establish diagnosis of vascular Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (VEDS) through genetic testing. This syndrome is characterized by muscle and arterial ruptures and a tendency to easy brusing, thin skin with visible veins and acrogeric facial features that may ...

Polyembryony, heterozygosis and chimeras in citrus
Abstract does not appear. First page follows. Introduction The genus Citrus is characterized by remarkable genetic variability, both in seed reproduction and within clonal varieties. An F1 hybrid progeny usually exhibits great genetic diversity (Swingle, 1913a), suggesting the F2 generation from a cross between races differing in ...

Heterozigose para mutação no gene CYP21A2 considerada como deficiência de 21-hidroxilase na triagem neonatal [PDF]
Steroid 21-hydroxylase deficiency (21-OHD) accounts for more than 90% of congenital adrenal hyperplasia. CAH newborn screening, in general, is based on 17-hydroxyprogesterone dosage (17-OHP), however it is complicated by the fact that healthy preterm ...

Audiological Phenotypes of Connexin Gene Mutation Patterns: A Glance at Different GJB2/GJB6 Gene Mutation Profiles [PDF]
GJB2 mutations are the most common cause of autosomal-recessive non-syndromic sensorineural hearing loss (SNHL). The available evidence shows large phenotypic variability across different genotypes and allelic variants.

Loss of heterozygosis on chromosome 18q21-23 and muscle-invasive bladder cancer natural history.
Loss of heterozygosis (LOH) on chromosome (Chr) 18q21-23 was reported to be one of the most common genetic alterations identified in bladder cancer. The current study aimed to determine the prognostic role of LOH on Chr 18q21-23 in patients diagnosed ...

Heterozygosis for hemoglobin Porto Alegre identified by a combination of laboratory diagnostic methodologies [PDF]
Hemoglobin (Hb) Porto Alegre is a beta globin chain mutant [beta 9 (A6) Ser>Cys] that was initially described in a Caucasian Brazilian family in 1963(1). It was subsequentlyidentified in other families in Brazil and in other places such as Cuba and the Canary Islands.
