Journal ArticleDOI

Direct characterization of factor VIII in plasma: detection of a mutation altering a thrombin cleavage site (arginine-372----histidine).

TL;DR: The genetic defect was determined by polymerase-chain-reaction amplification of exon 8 of the factor VIII gene and direct sequencing of the amplified product and a single-base substitution was identified that produces an arginine to histidine substitution at amino acid residue 372.
Journal ArticleDOI

In vitro whole-genome analysis identifies a susceptibility locus for HIV-1.

TL;DR: An in vitro system is used for the identification of a locus on HSA8q24.3 associated with cellular susceptibility to HIV-1 and a role of the rs2572886 region in the regulation of the LY6 family of glycosyl-phosphatidyl-inositol (GPI)-anchored proteins is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of a novel human neural cell adhesion molecule gene (NCAM2) that maps to chromosome region 21q21 and is potentially involved in Down syndrome.

TL;DR: The NCAM2 gene is a good candidate for involvement in certain Down syndrome phenotypes because a slight overexpression of NCAMs increases many-fold the homotypic adhesion properties of cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Cloning of a human homolog of the Drosophila enhancer of zeste gene (EZH2) that maps to chromosome 21q22.2

TL;DR: The strong sequence conservation suggests a possible function of EZH2 in regulation of gene transcription and chromatin structure; it may therefore contribute to certain phenotypes of Down syndrome by altered regulation of its target genes.
