Journal ArticleDOI
Targeted Disruption of the Mouse Caspase 8 Gene Ablates Cell Death Induction by the TNF Receptors, Fas/Apo1, and DR3 and Is Lethal Prenatally
Eugene Varfolomeev,Marcus Schuchmann,Victor Luria,N. Chiannilkulchai,Jacques S. Beckmann,Igor Mett,Denis V. Rebrikov,Vadim M Brodianski,Oliver Kemper,Orit Kollet,Tsvee Lapidot,Dror Soffer,Tama Sobe,Karen B. Avraham,Tanya Goncharov,Helmut Holtmann,Peter Lonai,David Wallach +17 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that Caspase 8 plays a necessary and nonredundant role in death induction by several receptors of the TNF/NGF family and serves a vital role in embryonal development.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In screening over 14,000 mice for a large number of clinically relevant parameters, 182 mouse mutants are recovered and this mutagenesis screen leads to a significant increase in the number of mouse models available to the scientific community.
Journal ArticleDOI
The mouse Snell's waltzer deafness gene encodes an unconventional myosin required for structural integrity of inner ear hair cells
Karen B. Avraham,Tama Hasson,Karen P. Steel,David M. Kingsley,Liane B. Russell,Mark S. Mooseker,Neal G. Copeland,Nancy A. Jenkins +7 more
TL;DR: It is shown that Snell's waltzer encodes an unconventional myosin heavy chain,Myosin VI, which is expressed within the sensory hair cells of the inner ear, and appears to be required for maintaining their structural integrity.
Journal ArticleDOI
Transgenic mice with increased Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase activity: animal model of dosage effects in Down syndrome.
Charles J. Epstein,Karen B. Avraham,Michael Lovett,Sandra Smith,Orna Elroy-Stein,Galit Rotman,Cheryl G. Bry,Yoram Groner +7 more
TL;DR: These animals provide a unique system for studying the consequences of increased dosage of the Cu/Zn-superoxide dismutase gene in Down syndrome and the role of this enzyme in a variety of other pathological processes.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The association between genotype and degree of hearing loss in persons with HI and biallelic GJB2 mutations was assessed and two genotypes had significantly more-severe HI than that of 35delG homozygotes.
