LMX1B transactivation and expression in nail-patella syndrome [PDF]
Lmx1b, a member of the LIM homeodomain protein family, is essential for the specification of dorsal limb fates at the zeugopodal and autopodal level in vertebrates. We and others have shown that a skeletal dysplasia, nail-patella syndrome (NPS), results from mutations in LMX1B.

The tetrapod limb develops asymmetrically along several axes. Lmx1b is responsible for dorsalization of the distal limb; knockout (KO) mice show ventral‐ventral limb patterning and reduction of the scapula, a dorsal structure of the limb girdle. However, the mechanism and downstream targets of Lmx1b are still unknown.

Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is a rare autosomal-dominant disorder characterized by the classic tetrad of absent or hypoplastic finger and toe nails, absent or hypoplastic patella, skeletal deformities involving the elbow joints, and iliac horns.

Nail-patella syndrome--a novel mutation in the LMX1B gene [PDF]
Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is an autosomal-dominant pleiotropic disorder characterized by dyplasia of finger nails, skeletal anomalies and frequently renal disease. In the reported case, genetic analysis revealed a new missense mutation in the homeodomain of LMX1B, presumed to abolish DNA binding (c.725T>C, p.Val242Ala).

A Case Report of Nail-Patella Syndrome
Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is a hereditary rare disease that can involve fingernail, patella, elbow, and iliac bones. In this article, we report a case of a girl-9 and 1 quarter years old who had asthmatic contractures in both elbows, thumbnail ...

Lmx1b and FoxC Combinatorially Regulate Podocin Expression in Podocytes [PDF]
Podocin is a key protein of the kidney podocyte slit diaphragm protein complex, an important part of the glomerular filtration barrier. Mutations in the human podocin gene NPHS2 cause familial or sporadic forms of renal disease owing to the disruption of filtration barrier integrity.

A novel small deletion of LMX1B in a large Chinese family with nail-patella syndrome
Background Nail-patella syndrome (NPS) is an autosomal dominant developmental disorder most commonly characterized by dyplasia of nail or patella, the radial head or the humeral head hypoplasia, and, frequently ocular abnormalities and renal disease.

Evidence for gliadin antibodies as causative agents in schizophrenia. [PDF]
Antibodies to gliadin, a component of gluten, have frequently been reported in schizophrenia. Highly immunogenic B cell epitopes along its length are homologous to numerous proteins relevant to schizophrenia, including members of the DISC1 interactome ...
