    ROHHAD and Prader-Willi syndrome (PWS): clinical and genetic comparison

    Rapid-onset obesity with hypothalamic dysfunction, hypoventilation, and autonomic dysregulation (ROHHAD) is a very rare and potentially fatal pediatric disorder, the cause of which is presently unknown. ROHHAD...

    Rapid-Onset Obesity with Hypothalamic Dysfunction, Hypoventilation, and Autonomic Dysregulation (ROHHAD): exome sequencing of trios, monozygotic twins and tumours

    Rapid-onset Obesity with Hypothalamic Dysfunction, Hypoventilation, and Autonomic Dysregulation (ROHHAD) is thought to be a genetic disease caused by de novo mutations, though causative mutations have yet to be i...

    Isolation and characterization of the leucine-rich proteoglycan nyctalopin gene (cNyx) from chick

    We describe the isolation and molecular characterization of the chick ortholog of nyctalopin (NYX), the gene responsible for X-linked complete congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB1, also known as cCSNB). C...

    Mutations in NYX, encoding the leucine-rich proteoglycan nyctalopin, cause X-linked complete congenital stationary night blindness

    During development, visual photoreceptors, bipolar cells and other neurons establish connections within the retina enabling the eye to process visual images over approximately 7 log units of illumination1. Within...

    Loss-of-function mutations in a calcium-channel α1-subunit gene in Xp11.23 cause incomplete X-linked congenital stationary night blindness

    X-linked congenital stationary night blindness (CSNB) is a recessive non-progressive retinal disorder characterized by night blindness, decreased visual acuity, myopia, nystagmus and strabismus1,2,3. Two distinct...

    Restriction fragment length polymorphisms associated with immunoglobulin heavy chain gamma genes in Tunisians

    DNA polymorphisms in the human immunoglobulin gamma (γ) region have been studied in random Arabo-Berber Tunisians and in a large Tunisian Berber kindred. Haplotypes have then been designated, based on variatio...
