Marfan Syndrome (MfS) is an autosomal dominant inherited connective tissue disorder with variable phenotypic expression of cardiovascular, skeletal and ocular manifestations. Cardiovascular complications, such as aortic aneurysm and dissection drastically reduce life expectancy of individuals with M

Pseudoachondroplasia (PSACH) and some forms of multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED) result from mutations in the gene encoding cartilage oligomeric matrix protein (COMP). COMP is a large pentameric glycoprotein found predominantly in the extracellular matrix of cartilage, tendon, and ligament. As a m
Germline mutations in the BRCAl gene confer susceptibility to hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (Easton et al., 1993; Ford et al., 1994). We report a new mutation in the BRCAl gene in an Austrian hereditary breast and ovarian cancer (HBOC) family with four breast cancer cases and one ovarian canc
## Abstract A myeloid leukemia cell line designated Kasumiβ6 was established from the bone marrow cells of an individual with acute myeloid leukemia, subtype M2. Both the original leukemic cells and the Kasumiβ6 cell line harbor a hemizygous point mutation in the gene encoding the CCAAT/enhancer bi
The genetic basis of the relatively mild myopathic symptoms exhibited in a male was investigated. Mutation screening of a candidate gene, MTM1, represented a chance of establishing the molecular defect and the mode of inheritance. SSCA detected variation of the exon b PCR products from the proband a
