## Abstract Variation in the personality trait of neuroticism is known to be affected by genetic influences, but despite a number of association studies, the genes involved have not yet been characterized. In a recent study of platelet monoamine oxidase in 1,551 twin subjects, we found a significan
Communicated by Haig H. Kazazian, Jr. Classic galactosemia is an inborn error of galactose metabolism and results from deficiency of the ubiquitously expressed enzyme galactose-1 -phosphate uridyltransferase (GALT). Nine missense mu. tations, three splicing mutations, three GALT protein polymorphis
Tumorigenesis is a heterogeneous process that occurs over a relatively long time span, progressing from a single cell through intermediate stages to give rise to a tumor that becomes more aggressive over time. Recent discoveries have begun to define the molecular events that underlie this progressio
The pace of localization and characterization of genes affected in human genetic disorders is quickening. Many important genes were localized or characterized recently: genes for in cystic fibrosis, NF-2, Marfan's syndrome and xeroderma pigmentosum, to name a few. Also, in the past 15 months, the CF
