Purpose: Down syndrome (DS) is a major cause of congenital heart disease (CHD) and the most frequent known cause of atrioventricular septal defects (AVSDs). Molecular studies of rare individuals with… (More)
Forkhead L2 (FOXL2) is a member of the forkhead/hepatocyte nuclear factor 3 (FKH/HNF3) gene family of transcription factors and acts as a transcriptional repressor of the Steroidogenic Acute… (More)
Purpose: Humans with small deletions of chromosome 21 provide important models for understanding the role of dosage-sensitive genes in brain morphogenesis. To identify chromosome 21 genes responsible… (More)
Recent evidence suggests a role for gut bacteria and antibiotics in the pathophysiology and treatment of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), respectively. While the benefits of the antibiotic rifaximin… (More)
Central nervous system (CNS) development involves neural patterning, neuronal and axonal migrations, and synapse formation. DSCAM, a chromosome 21 axon guidance molecule, is expressed by CNS neurons… (More)
Diarrhea-predominant irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is diagnosed through clinical criteria after excluding "organic" conditions, and can be precipitated by acute gastroenteritis. Cytolethal… (More)
FOXL2 is expressed in granulosa cells (GC) of small and medium ovarian follicles, functions as a repressor of the human steroidogenic acute regulatory gene, a marker of a GC differentiation, and its… (More)
The forkhead transcription factor (FOXL2) is an essential transcription factor in the ovary. It is important in ovarian development and a key factor in female sex determination. In addition, FOXL2… (More)
