A gene deleted in Kallmann's syndrome shares homology with neural cell adhesion and axonal path-finding molecules
- B. Franco, S. Guioli, +13 authors A. Ballabio
- Biology, Medicine
- Nature
- 10 October 1991
Kallmann's syndrome (clinically characterized by hypogonadotropic hypogonadism and inability to smell) is caused by a defect in the migration of olfactory neurons, and neurons producing hypothalamic… Expand
Isolation of a Miller–Dicker lissencephaly gene containing G protein β-subunit-like repeats
- O. Reiner, R. Carrozzo, +5 authors D. Ledbetter
- Biology
- Nature
- 19 August 1993
LISSENCEPHALY (agyria-pachygyria) is a human brain malformation manifested by a smooth cerebral surface and abnormal neuronal migration1,2. Identification of the gene(s) involved in this disorder… Expand

Clinical and molecular features of mitochondrial DNA depletion due to mutations in deoxyguanosine kinase
- D. Dimmock, Q. Zhang, +18 authors L. Wong
- Biology, Medicine
- Human mutation
- 1 February 2008
Published mutations in deoxyguanosine kinase (DGUOK) cause mitochondrial DNA depletion and a clinical phenotype that consists of neonatal liver failure, nystagmus and hypotonia. In this series, we… Expand
Rox, a novel bHLHZip protein expressed in quiescent cells that heterodimerizes with Max, binds a non‐canonical E box and acts as a transcriptional repressor
- G. Meroni, A. Reymond, +10 authors R. Carrozzo
- Biology, Medicine
- The EMBO journal
- 15 May 1997
Proteins of the Myc and Mad family are involved in transcriptional regulation and mediate cell differentiation and proliferation. These molecules share a basic‐helix–loop–helix leucine zipper domain… Expand
Molecular and functional analysis of SUMF1 mutations in multiple sulfatase deficiency
- M. Cosma, S. Pepe, +16 authors A. Ballabio
- Biology, Medicine
- Human mutation
- 1 June 2004
Multiple sulfatase deficiency (MSD) is a rare disorder characterized by impaired activity of all known sulfatases. The gene mutated in this disease is SUMF1, which encodes a protein involved in a… Expand
Identification of novel RP2 mutations in a subset of X‐linked retinitis pigmentosa families and prediction of new domains
- M. Miano, F. Testa, +15 authors A. Ciccodicola
- Biology, Medicine
- Human mutation
- 1 August 2001
X‐linked Retinitis Pigmentosa (XLRP) shows a huge genetic heterogeneity with almost five distinct loci on the X chromosome. So far, only two XLRP genes have been identified, RPGR (or RP3) and RP2,… Expand
Mutation analysis in 16 patients with mtDNA depletion
- R. Carrozzo, B. Bornstein, +10 authors J. Arenas
- Biology, Medicine

- Biology, Medicine
- Human mutation
- 1 September 2002
Human piebaldism is a rare autosomal dominant disorder that comprises congenital patchy depigmentation of the scalp, forehead, trunk and limbs. It is caused by mutations in the cell‐surface receptor… Expand
