In vertebrates, heart formation which integrates different structures and cell types is a complex process that involves a network of genes regulated by transcription factors. Proper spatiotemporal expression of these factors ensure the highly needed tight control of each step in organogenesis. A mis
Fabry disease is an X-linked inborn error of sphingolipid catabolism resulting from deficient enzyme activity of a-galactosidase A. The molecular defects of human a-galactosidase A gene causing Fabry disease have been characterized, including gene rearrangement and point mutations, which show the ge
