Zaffran, S.  et al. 2001

biniou (FoxF), a central component in a regulatory network controlling visceral mesoderm development and midgut morphogenesis in Drosophila

The subdivision of the lateral mesoderm into a visceral (splanchnic) and a somatic layer is a crucial event during early mesoderm development in both arthropod and vertebrate embryos. In Drosophila,...

Villard, L.  et al. 2001

Segregation of a totally skewed pattern of X chromosome inactivation in four familial cases of Rett syndrome without MECP2 mutation: implications for the disease

BACKGROUND: Rett syndrome is a neurodevelopmental disorder affecting only girls; 99.5% of Rett syndrome cases are sporadic, although several familial cases have been reported. Mutations in the MECP2...

Gentil, BJ.  et al. 2001

The giant protein AHNAK is a specific target for the calcium- and zinc-binding S100B protein: potential implications for Ca2+ homeostasis regulation by S100B

Transformation of rat embryo fibroblast clone 6 cells by ras and temperature-sensitive p53val(135) is reverted by ectopic expression of the calcium- and zinc-binding protein S100B. In an attempt to...

Magdinier, F.  et al. 2001

Selective association of the methyl-CpG binding protein MBD2 with the silent p14/p16 locus in human neoplasia

DNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes is a common feature of human cancer. The cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor gene p16/Ink4A is hypermethylated in a wide range of malignant tissues and the...

Etchevers, HC.  et al. 2001

The cephalic neural crest provides pericytes and smooth muscle cells to all blood vessels of the face and forebrain

Most connective tissues in the head develop from neural crest cells (NCCs), an embryonic cell population present only in vertebrates. We show that NCC-derived pericytes and smooth muscle cells are...

Briault, S.  et al. 2000

Mapping of X chromosome inversion breakpoints [inv(X)(q11q28)] associated with FG syndrome: a second FG locus [FGS2]?

FG syndrome is an X-linked condition comprising mental retardation, congenital hypotonia, macrocephaly, distinctive facial changes, and constipation or anal malformations. In a linkage analysis, we...
Am. J. Med. Genet. - issue: 2 - volume: 95 - pages: 178-181.

Villard, L.  et al. 2000

Two affected boys in a Rett syndrome family: clinical and molecular findings

BACKGROUND: The authors report a family in which two boys had severe neonatal encephalopathy of unknown origin. They both presented with the same condition and died of severe apnea before they were 1...
Neurology - issue: 8 - volume: 55 - pages: 1188-1193.

Lossi, AM.  et al. 2000

Exclusion of nine candidate genes for their involvement in X-linked FG syndrome (FGS1) in three families

Am. J. Med. Genet. - issue: 5 - volume: 94 - pages: 386-388.

Laugier-Anfossi, F.  et al. 2000

Molecular characterization of a new human T-box gene (TBX22) located in xq21.1 encoding a protein containing a truncated T-domain

We are conducting a systematic transcriptional mapping of the Xq12-q21 region of the human X chromosome in order to identify new genes potentially involved in X-linked mental retardation phenotypes....

Magdinier, F.  et al. 2000

Regional methylation of the 5' end CpG island of BRCA1 is associated with reduced gene expression in human somatic cells

In mammalians, demethylation of specific promoter regions often correlates with gene activation; inversely, dense methylation of CpG islands leads to gene silencing, probably mediated by methyl-CpG...

The NK-2 homeobox gene scarecrow (scro) is expressed in pharynx, ventral nerve cord and brain of Drosophila embryos

Members of the NK homeobox family have been widely conserved during evolution. Here we describe the sequence and expression of a novel Drosophila NK-2 homeobox gene, named scarecrow (scro), which...

Evidence that a dodecamer duplication in the gene HOPA in Xq13 is not associated with mental retardation

A recent study suggested that a dodecamer duplication in exon 42 of the HOPA gene in Xq13 may be a significant factor in the etiology of X-linked mental retardation. In an effort to investigate this...
