Journal ArticleDOI

Etiology of ovarian failure in blepharophimosis ptosis epicanthus inversus syndrome: FOXL2 is a conserved, early-acting gene in vertebrate ovarian development.

TL;DR: The observations suggest that BPES may result from early abnormalities in regulating the development of the fetal ovary, rather than premature degeneration of the postnatal or adult Ovary, and the results suggest that FOXL2 is a highly conserved early regulator of vertebrate ovarian development.
Journal ArticleDOI

The coactivator-associated arginine methyltransferase is necessary for muscle differentiation - CARM1 coactivates myocyte enhancer factor-2

TL;DR: This work clearly demonstrates that the arginine methyltransferase CARM1 potentiates myogenesis and supports the positive role of arginin methylation in mammalian differentiation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conditional inactivation of the MEN1 gene leads to pancreatic and pituitary tumorigenesis but does not affect normal development of these tissues.

TL;DR: Conditional homozygous inactivation of the Men1 gene in the pituitary gland and endocrine pancreas bypasses the embryonic lethality associated with a constitutional Men1 −/− genotype and leads to β-cell hyperplasia in less than 4 months and insulinomas and prolactinomas starting at 9 months.
Journal ArticleDOI

Broad tumor spectrum in a mouse model of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1.

TL;DR: Menin expression was below the level of detection in ovary, thyroid and testis, but loss of nuclear menin immunoreactivity was observed uniformly in all pancreatic islet adenomas and in some hyperplastic islet cells, suggesting that complete loss of Men1 is a critical point in islet tumor progression in this model.
