In the context of prenatal diagnostic testing, chromosomal microarray analysis identified additional, clinically significant cytogenetic information as compared with karyotyping and was equally efficacious in identifying aneuploidies and unbalanced rearrangements but did not identify balanced translocations and triploidy.
Synaptic dysfunction and abnormal behaviors in mice lacking major isoforms of Shank3.

It is concluded that loss of major Shank3 species produces biochemical, cellular and morphological changes, leading to behavioral abnormalities in mice that bear similarities to human ASD patients with SHANK3 mutations.

It is demonstrated here that the neural substrate that generates waves in the mouse retina develops through three distinct stages, and that retinal waves mediated by nAChRs are involved in, but not required for, the development of neural circuits that define the ON and OFF sublamina of the inner plexiform layer.
Expansion of an unstable trinucleotide CAG repeat in spinocerebellar ataxia type 1
There is a direct correlation between the size of the (CAG)n repeat expansion and the age–of–onset of SCA1, with larger alleles occurring in juvenile cases.
