Journal ArticleDOI

Evolutionary and biomedical insights from the rhesus macaque genome

Richard A. Gibbs, +177 more
- 13 Apr 2007 - 
TL;DR: The genome sequence of an Indian-origin Macaca mulatta female is determined and compared with chimpanzees and humans to reveal the structure of ancestral primate genomes and to identify evidence for positive selection and lineage-specific expansions and contractions of gene families.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Novel X-Linked Disorder of Immune Deficiency and Hypohidrotic Ectodermal Dysplasia Is Allelic to Incontinentia Pigmenti and Due to Mutations in IKK-gamma (NEMO)

TL;DR: A new X-linked recessive immunodeficiency syndrome is defined, distinct from other types of HED and immunODeficiency syndromes, and the data provide further evidence that the development of ectodermal appendages is mediated through a tumor necrosis factor/tumor necrosis factors receptor-like signaling pathway, with the IKK signalsome complex playing a significant role.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mutations in the human homologue of mouse dl cause autosomal recessive and dominant hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia

TL;DR: X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia results in abnormal morphogenesis of teeth, hair and eccrine sweat glands, and the gene (ED1) responsible for the disorder has been identified, as well as the analogous X-linked gene in the mouse.
Journal ArticleDOI

Gene defect in ectodermal dysplasia implicates a death domain adapter in development.

TL;DR: The findings show that the death receptor/adapter signalling mechanism is conserved in developmental, as well as apoptotic, signalling.
