Mutations in the gene for low density lipoprotein receptor (LDL-R) lead to a disorder called familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Affected individuals are characterized by increased levels of cholesterol in plasma, tendinous xanthomas, arcus lipoides corneae, and premature coronary heart disease. Up

## Abstract We report a patient with autosomal‐dominant amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and a sequence variation in the __SOD1__ promoter region, located in the conserved TATA box motif (TATAAA→TGTAAA). Functional promoter studies of this variant in an in vitro system showed moderate reduction
The cause of selective degeneration of motor neurons in the ventral horn of the spinal cord associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) has still not been elucidated. Recently, so-called oxidative stress has been suggested to be a significant factor in the pathogenesis of this disease. We me
Germline mutations in the tumor-suppresor APC gene are associated with hereditary familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and somatic mutations are common in sporadic colorectal cancer. In this study, we report the identification of three novel germline mutations: 1682-1683insA, 3252-3253insAT, 3544A>T
Germline mutations within the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene, a tumor suppressor gene, are responsible for most cases of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP), an autosomal dominantly inherited predisposition to colorectal cancer. To date, more than 300 germ-line causative mutations within thi
