Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the DAX-1 gene give rise to both X-linked adrenal hypoplasia congenita and hypogonadotropic hypogonadism

TL;DR: It is reported that DAX-1 is deleted in 14 patients and point mutations were found in the coding region in DNA from 12 unrelated individuals, confirming that the DAx-1 gene is responsible for both X-linked AHC and HHG.
Journal ArticleDOI

A dosage sensitive locus at chromosome Xp21 is involved in male to female sex reversal

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that sex reversal results from the presence of two active copies of an Xp locus rather than from its rearrangement and that alterations at this locus constitute one of the causes of sex reversal in individuals with a normal 46,XY karyotype.
Journal ArticleDOI

The fragile X mental retardation protein binds specifically to its mRNA via a purine quartet motif.

TL;DR: The identification and characterization of a specific and high affinity binding site for FMRP in the RGG‐coding region of its own mRNA is reported, which contains a purine quartet motif that is essential for F MRP binding and can be substituted by a heterologous quartet‐forming motif.
