Journal ArticleDOI
Campomelic dysplasia and autosomal sex reversal caused by mutations in an SRY-related gene.
Jamie W. Foster,M A Dominguez-Steglich,S Guioli,Cheni Kwok,Polly A. Weller,Milena Stevanovic,J Weissenbach,S Mansour,I D Young,Peter N. Goodfellow +9 more
TL;DR: Cloning of a translocation chromosome breakpoint from a sex-reversed patient with campomelic dysplasia, followed by mutation analysis of an adjacent gene, indicates that SOX9, an SRY-related gene, is involved in both bone formation and control of testis development.
Journal Article
Mutations in SOX9, the gene responsible for Campomelic dysplasia and autosomal sex reversal.
Cheni Kwok,Polly A. Weller,S Guioli,Jamie W. Foster,Sahar Mansour,Orsetta Zuffardi,H H Punnett,M A Dominguez-Steglich,J D Brook,I D Young +9 more
TL;DR: Findings are consistent with the hypothesis that CD results from haploinsufficiency of SOX9, the chromosome 17q24 gene responsible for CD and autosomal sex reversal in man.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cloning of PBDX, an MIC2-related gene that spans the pseudoautosomal boundary on chromosome Xp
TL;DR: A gene, PBDX, is isolated from the human pseudoautosomal boundary region of Xp and becomes an excellent candidate for the XG blood group gene.
Journal ArticleDOI
PBDX is the XG blood group gene
Nathan A. Ellis,Patricia Tippett,A. C. Petty,Marion E. Reid,Polly A. Weller,Tian Z. Ye,James German,Peter N. Goodfellow,Stephen G. Thomas,George Banting +9 more
TL;DR: By its identity with PBDX, Xga is identified as a cell-surface protein that is 48% homologous to CD99 (previously designated the 12E7 antigen), the product of MIC2 which is tightly linked to XG.
