Structure, Function and Diversity of the Healthy Human Microbiome
- C. Huttenhower, D. Gevers, +245 authors O. White
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 17 May 2012
Studies of the human microbiome have revealed that even healthy individuals differ remarkably in the microbes that occupy habitats such as the gut, skin and vagina. Much of this diversity remains… Expand
Consensus statement: chromosomal microarray is a first-tier clinical diagnostic test for individuals with developmental disabilities or congenital anomalies.
- D. Miller, M. Adam, +29 authors D. H. Ledbetter

Chromosomal microarray (CMA) is increasingly utilized for genetic testing of individuals with unexplained developmental delay/intellectual disability (DD/ID), autism spectrum disorders (ASD), or… Expand
Weight-reducing effects of the plasma protein encoded by the obese gene.
- J. Halaas, K. Gajiwala, +6 authors J. Friedman
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 28 July 1995
The gene product of the ob locus is important in the regulation of body weight. The ob product was shown to be present as a 16-kilodalton protein in mouse and human plasma but was undetectable in… Expand
Mortality associated with Down's syndrome in the USA from 1983 to 1997: a population-based study
- Q. Yang, S. Rasmussen, J. Friedman
- Medicine

BACKGROUND
Down's syndrome is the most frequently identified cause of mental retardation, but information about mortality and comorbidity in people with Down's syndrome is limited.
METHODS
We used… Expand
Mortality in neurofibromatosis 1: an analysis using U.S. death certificates.
- S. Rasmussen, Q. Yang, J. Friedman
- Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 1 May 2001
Although neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) is a relatively common autosomal dominant condition, information about its effect on mortality is limited. We used Multiple-Cause Mortality Files, compiled from… Expand
Population-based analyses of mortality in trisomy 13 and trisomy 18.
- S. Rasmussen, L. Wong, Q. Yang, Kristin M. May, J. Friedman
- Medicine
- Pediatrics
- 1 April 2003
OBJECTIVE
Although trisomy 13 and trisomy 18 are generally considered to be lethal, long-term survival of patients has been reported. We sought to evaluate mortality in people with trisomy 13 or 18… Expand
Diagnostic criteria for schwannomatosis
- M. Maccollin, E. A. Chiocca, +10 authors E. Roach
- Medicine
- Neurology
- 14 June 2005
The neurofibromatoses are a diverse group of genetic conditions that share a predisposition to the development of tumors of the nerve sheath. Schwannomatosis is a recently recognized third major form… Expand
Use of the National Institutes of Health Criteria for Diagnosis of Neurofibromatosis 1 in Children
- K. DeBella, J. Szudek, J. Friedman
- Medicine
- Pediatrics
- 1 March 2000
Objective. The National Institutes of Health (NIH) Diagnostic Criteria for neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1) are very useful clinically, but some individuals who are later shown to have NF1 cannot be… Expand
Massively parallel sequencing: the next big thing in genetic medicine.
- T. Tucker, M. Marra, J. Friedman
- Biology, Medicine
- American journal of human genetics
- 14 August 2009
Massively parallel sequencing has reduced the cost and increased the throughput of genomic sequencing by more than three orders of magnitude, and it seems likely that costs will fall and throughput… Expand
Virus-Assisted Mapping of Neural Inputs to a Feeding Center in the Hypothalamus
- J. DeFalco, M. Tomishima, +5 authors J. Friedman
- Biology, Medicine
- Science
- 30 March 2001
We report the development of a pseudorabies virus that can be used for retrograde tracing from selected neurons. This virus encodes a green fluorescent protein marker and replicates only in neurons… Expand
