## Abstract AxenfeldโRieger Syndrome (ARS) is a genetically heterogeneous birth defect characterized by malformation of the anterior segment of the eye associated with glaucoma. Mutation of the __PITX2__ homeobox gene has been identified as a cause of ARS. We report a novel Arg5Trp missense mutatio
## Abstract Congenital or familial erythrocytosis/polycythemia can have many causes, and an emerging cause is genetic disruption of the oxygenโsensing pathway that regulates the __Erythropoietin__ (__EPO__) gene. More specifically, recent studies have identified erythrocytosisโassociated mutations
5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine (d-AZA) inhibits methylation of DNA, a process that serves as an epigenetic regulator of gene expression. We have shown that d-AZA causes temporally related defects in mice. Gestational day (GD) 10 treatment induced severe long-bone defects of the hindlimb but not the forelimb
