Overview: Actin-Binding Protein Function and Its Relation to Disease Pathology
The actin cytoskeleton generates force and movement responsible for many critical and fundamental cellular processes (see Chap. 1). Force generation...

Actin Genetic Diseases
The human genome, as for other mammals, contains six actin genes, ACTA1, ACTA2, ACTB, ACTC, ACTG1, and ACTG2. Four of these genes are differentially...

Refining the DFNB17 interval in consanguineous Indian families
We previously mapped the DFNB17 locus to a 3-4 cM interval on human chromosome 7q31 in a large consanguineous Indian family with congenital profound...

An ENU-induced mutation in AP-2α leads to middle earand ocular defects in Doarad mice
One of the advantages of N -ethyl- N -nitrosourea (ENU)-induced mutagenesis is that, after randomly causing point mutations, a variety of alleles can...

Anatomical Considerations and Long-Term Effects of Electrical Stimulation
There is a consensus that achieving high levels of speech intelligibility with auditory prostheses requires the use of several independent channels...

The promises and problems of linkage analysis by using the current canine genome map
There have been major advances in the canine genome map over recent years, with an agreed karyotype for all 38 pairs of autosomes and an integrated...
