Autoimmune polyendocrinopathy candidiasis ectodermal dystrophy (APECED) is a rare disorder caused by mutations in the autoimmune regulator gene (AIRE) and characterized by a variable combination of organ-specific autoimmune diseases. Studies on AIRE-deficient mice suggest that AIRE is an important f
APECED-causing mutations in AIRE reveal the functional domains of the protein

Aspartylglucosaminuria (AGU) is a recessively inherited metabolic disorder caused by the deficiency of a lysosomal enzyme, aspartylglucosaminidase. The worldwide most common mutation causing the disease is the AGU,,,, enriched in Finland; all the other known AGU mutations are family-specific. We dev
Inferring functional consequences is a bottleneck in high-throughput cancer mutation discovery and genetic association studies. Most polymorphisms and germline mutations are unlikely to have functionally significant consequences. Most cancer somatic mutations do not contribute to tumorigenesis and a
We report on a three-generation family with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED). The propositus had typical MED findings of knees, ankles, elbows, and hands in childhood. The 2 other affected relatives were adults. The main clinical findings consisted of osteochondritis dissecans and osteoarthritis
## Semmzu Craniofacial-deafnesshand syndrome (MIM 122880) is inherited as an autosomal dominant mutation characterized by the absence or hypoplasia of the nasal bones, profound sensorineural deafness, a small and short nose with slitlike nares, hypertelorism, short palpebral fissures, and limited
