Polymorphisms in the C-terminal domain of MECP2 in mentally handicapped boys: implications for genetic counselling

Numerous recent reports have proposed that mutations in the C-terminal domain of the MECP2 gene could be a frequent cause of mental retardation in males. We have identified two mutations in this...

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...

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...
