Mouse Phenome Project: understanding human biology through mouse genetics and genomics.
THE HUMAN GENOME PROJECT IS generating vast amounts of new information at breakneck speed and causing a fundamental shift in disease research. Now with the availability of a nearly complete, high-accuracy sequence of the mouse genome (7), a new and powerful paradigm for biomedical research is established. The remarkable similarity of mouse and human genomes, in both synteny and sequence, uncond...
متن کاملUnderstanding Genetics
XYY chromosome constitution, for example. It ends with a fine summary and discussion of the ethical considerations in newborn screening for chromosome abnormalities, written by the well-known cytogeneticist John Hammerton. This book should be added to the shelf of every clinical geneticist and will in addition be of interest to pediatricians, child developmentalists, and child psychiatrists and...
متن کاملEmbryonic viability, lipase deficiency, hypertriglyceridemia and neonatal lethality in a novel LMF1-deficient mouse model
BACKGROUND Lipase Maturation Factor 1 (LMF1) is an ER-chaperone involved in the post-translational maturation and catalytic activation of vascular lipases including lipoprotein lipase (LPL), hepatic lipase (HL) and endothelial lipase (EL). Mutations in LMF1 are associated with lipase deficiency and severe hypertriglyceridemia indicating the critical role of LMF1 in plasma lipid homeostasis. The...
متن کاملA knock-out mouse model for methylmalonic aciduria resulting in neonatal lethality.
Methylmalonic aciduria is a human autosomal recessive disorder of organic acid metabolism resulting from a functional defect in the activity of the enzyme methylmalonyl-CoA mutase. Based upon the homology of the human mutase locus with the mouse locus, we have chosen to disrupt the mouse mutase locus within the critical CoA binding domain using gene-targeting techniques to create a mouse model ...
متن کاملGenetics of neonatal hyperinsulinism.
Congenital hyperinsulinism (HI) is a clinically and genetically heterogeneous entity. The clinical heterogeneity is manifested by severity ranging from extremely severe, life threatening disease to very mild clinical symptoms, which may even be difficult to identify. Furthermore, clinical responsiveness to medical and surgical management is extremely variable. Recent discoveries have begun to c...
