Significance We show that the assembly/disassembly of the purinosome is cell cycle-dependent and correlates with cellular demands for purine biosynthesis encountered during the cell cycle. The number… Expand
Animal models of generalized dystonia
SummaryDystonia is a prevalent neurological disorder characterized by abnormal co-contractions of antagonistic muscle groups that produce twisting movements and abnormal postures. The disorder may be… Expand

Mutations in ion channels, or channelopathies, often lead to neurological disorders in which normal behavior is interrupted by attacks of debilitating symptoms such as pain, weakness or abnormal… Expand
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations in Lesch-Nyhan Disease
Background: Mutations in the HPRT1 gene cause a spectrum of clinical phenotypes known as Lesch-Nyhan disease and its variants. Results: The associated mutant enzymes demonstrate several different… Expand

In humans, congenital deficiency of the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) results in a disorder known as the Lesch-Nyhan syndrome. Patients with this disorder exhibit a… Expand
Update on the Phenotypic Spectrum of Lesch-Nyhan Disease and its Attenuated Variants
Congenital deficiency of the enzyme hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) results in a spectrum of clinical phenotypes. All of these phenotypes are associated with marked… Expand
