It is demonstrated that IL-17 had detrimental effects on human islet cells in vitro; it potentiated both inflammatory and proapoptotic responses.
Over- and underdosage of SOX3 is associated with infundibular hypoplasia and hypopituitarism.
- K. Woods, Maria Cundall, M. Dattani
- Medicine, BiologyAmerican Journal of Human Genetics
- 1 May 2005
It is concluded that both over- and underdosage of SOX3 are associated with similar phenotypes, consisting of infundibular hypoplasia and hypopituitarism but not necessarily MR.
Gene Expression Signatures of Seven Individual Human Embryonic Stem Cell Lines
- H. Skottman, M. Mikkola, R. Lahesmaa
- BiologyStem Cells
- 1 October 2005
Although the overall gene expression profiles of the seven hESC lines were markedly similar, each line also had a subset of differentially expressed genes reflecting their genetic variation and possibly preferential differentiation potential, illustrating the importance of cross‐validation of results between different ESC lines.

Dominantly inherited hyperinsulinism caused by a mutation in the sulfonylurea receptor type 1.
- H. Huopio, F. Reimann, T. Otonkoski
- Biology, MedicineJournal of Clinical Investigation
- 1 October 2000
The first dominantly inherited SUR1 mutation is described, found within the second nucleotide binding fold of SUR1, that causes CHI in early life and predisposes to later insulin deficiency.
