The Use of “Retardation” in FRAXA, FMRP, FMR1 and Other Designations
The European Fragile X Network met in Wroclaw, Poland, November 2021, and agreed to work towards the eradication of the word “retardation” in regard to the naming of the fragile X gene (FRAXA) and protein (FMRP).

The official unified nomenclature adopted by the HGNC calls for the use of the acronyms, CCN1–6, and discontinuation in the use of CYR61, CTGF, NOV and WISP 1–3 respectively [PDF]
An examination of the confusion generated around the use of different acronyms for CCN proteins has been performed by the editors of the HUGO Gene Nomenclature Committee upon the request of the International CCN Society Scientific Committee. After careful consideration of the various arguments, and after polling the community of researchers who have ...

β-Lactoglobulin and Glycodelin: Two Sides of the Same Coin?
The two lipocalins, β-lactoglobulin (βLg) and glycodelin (Gd), are possibly the most closely related members of the large and widely distributed lipocalin family, yet their functions appear to be substantially different.
