Progression of somatic CTG repeat length heterogeneity in the blood cells of myotonic dystrophy patients.
The genetic basis of myotonic dystrophy (DM) is the expansion of an unstable CTG repeat in the 34 UTR of the DM protein kinase gene on chromosome 19. One of the principal features of the DM mutation… Expand

UGT1A1 gene variations and irinotecan treatment in patients with metastatic colorectal cancer
SN-38 is the active metabolite of irinotecan and it is metabolised through conjugation by uridine diphosphate glucuronosyl transferase (UGT1A1). The major toxicity of irinotecan therapy is diarrhoea,… Expand

Retinal degeneration associated with RDH12 mutations results from decreased 11-cis retinal synthesis due to disruption of the visual cycle.
Retinoid dehydrogenases/reductases catalyze key oxidation-reduction reactions in the visual cycle that converts vitamin A to 11-cis retinal, the chromophore of the rod and cone photoreceptors. It has… Expand

DMD Mutations in 576 Dystrophinopathy Families: A Step Forward in Genotype-Phenotype Correlations
Recent advances in molecular therapies for Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) require precise genetic diagnosis because most therapeutic strategies are mutation-specific. To understand more about the… Expand

Mutation Spectrum of EYS in Spanish Patients with Autosomal Recessive Retinitis Pigmentosa
Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is a heterogeneous group of inherited retinal dystrophies characterised ultimately by the loss of photoreceptor cells. We have recently identified a new gene (EYS) encoding… Expand
