TL;DR: The geographic cline of CCR5-Delta32 frequencies and its recent emergence are consistent with a historic strong selective event, driving its frequency upward in ancestral Caucasian populations.

TL;DR: It is shown that CAVD without renal malformation is a primary genital form of cystic fibrosis in the vast majority of German patients and links the particular expression of clinical symptoms in CAVD with a distinct subset of CFTR mutation genotypes.

TL;DR: The data presented here point to a phosphorylation-dependent TSPY-function in early spermatogenesis, immediately prior to the sperMatogonia-to-spermatocyte transition, and in early testicular tumorigenesis, which is suggested to play a role in DNA replication.

TL;DR: The effectiveness of the quick, furtive tactic was demonstrated by the siring of 45% of the infants by males who used this tactic, indicating that for the highest-ranking males, forming long-term consorts is the most effective reproductive tactic.

TL;DR: The unique point mutation (a-->g) of the 5'untranslated region together with the other mutations indicates that the dominant XLH phenotype is unlikely to be explained by haplo-insufficiency or a dominant negative effect.
