Lev G. Goldfarb,Robert B. Petersen,Massimo Tabaton,Paul Brown,Andréa C. LeBlanc,Pasquale Montagna,Pietro Cortelli,Jean Julien,Claude Vital,William W. Pendelbury,Matii Haltia,Peter R. Wills,Jean J. Hauw,Paul E. McKeever,L. Monari,Bertold Schrank,Gary D. Swergold,Lucila Autilio-Gambetti,D. Carleton Gajdusek,Elio Lugaresi,Pierluigi Gambetti +20 more
TL;DR: Two distinct disease phenotypes linked to a single pathogenic mutation can be determined by a common polymorphism.
Journal ArticleDOI
Identification, Characterization, and Cell Specificity of a Human LINE-1 Promoter
TL;DR: A constructed human LINE-1 element containing intact 5' and 3' untranslatable regions and an in-frame fusion between the L1Hs open reading frame 1 and the bacterial lacZ gene (p1LZ) was found to promote the expression of beta-galactosidase in a variety of transiently transfected cell types in tissue culture.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transmissible familial Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease associated with five, seven, and eight extra octapeptide coding repeats in the PRNP gene
Lev G. Goldfarb,Patrick O. Brown,W. R. McCombie,Dmitry Goldgaber,Gary D. Swergold,Peter R. Wills,Larisa Cervenakova,H. Baron,C. J. Gibbs,D. C. Gajdusek +9 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that the occurrence of 10 or more octapeptide repeats in the encoded amyloid precursor protein predisposes to Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Comprehensive Analysis of Recently Integrated Human Ta L1 Elements
Jeremy S. Myers,Jeremy S. Myers,Bethaney J. Vincent,Bethaney J. Vincent,Hunt Udall,W. Scott Watkins,Tammy A. Morrish,Gail Kilroy,Gary D. Swergold,Jürgen Henke,Lotte Henke,John V. Moran,Lynn B. Jorde,Mark A. Batzer,Mark A. Batzer +14 more
TL;DR: This paper extracted 468 Ta L1Hs (L1human specific) elements from the draft human genomic sequence and screened individual elements using polymerase-chain-reaction (PCR) assays to determine their phylogenetic origin and levels of human genomic diversity.
Journal ArticleDOI
