Identification and characterization of a spinal muscular atrophy-determining gene

TL;DR: The inverted duplication of a 500 kb element in normal chromosomes is described and the critical region is narrowed to 140 kb within the telomeric region, suggesting that this gene, termed the survival motor neuron (SMN) gene, is an SMA-determining gene.
Journal ArticleDOI

Rapid and simple determination of the Escherichia coli phylogenetic group.

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple and rapid phylogenetic grouping technique based on triplex PCR was proposed, which uses a combination of two genes (chuA and yjaA) and an anonymous DNA fragment, was tested with 230 strains and showed excellent correlation with reference methods.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Clermont Escherichia coli phylo‐typing method revisited: improvement of specificity and detection of new phylo‐groups

TL;DR: A new PCR-based method is developed that enables an E. coli isolate to be assigned to one of the eight phylo-groups and which allows isolates that are members of the other cryptic clades (II to V) of Escherichia to be identified.
Journal ArticleDOI

Correlation between severity and SMN protein level in spinal muscular atrophy.

TL;DR: A marked deficiency of the SMN protein in SMA is shown and the molecular mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of the disease is elucidated by western blot and immunohistochemical analyses using antibodies raised against theSMN protein.
