Analyses of longitudinal effects of gene-environment interactions on plasma C-reactive protein levels: the Hallym Aging Study
High C-reactive protein (CRP) level (above 3 mg/L), an inflammatory biomarker, is a well-known risk factor for cardiovascular disease. We investigated the longitudinal effects of interaction between genetic va...

Quantitative trait loci for proteinuria in the focal glomerulosclerosis mouse model
The FGS/Kist strain of mice, a new animal model for focal glomerulosclerosis (FGS) in humans, was previously established by recurrent selection for high proteinuria, which is a principal marker of FGS, from de...

Intragenic deletion in the gene encoding ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase in gad mice
The gracile axonal dystrophy (gad) mouse is an autosomal recessive mutant that shows sensory ataxia at an early stage, followed by motor ataxia at a later stage1. Pathologically, the mutant is characterized by 'd...
