BMC Genomics 10:95. 2009..However, the manual approach for the characterisation of these fragments using BLAST web interfaces is not suited for larger number of sequences and so far, no user-friendly software is publicly available... 
The granulocyte nucleus and lamin B receptor: avoiding the ovoidKatrin Hoffmann
Department of Medical Genetics, Charite Humboldt University, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany
Chromosoma 116:227-35. 2007..These observations are part of a larger question on the relationships between nuclear shape and cellular function...- HPGD mutations cause cranioosteoarthropathy but not autosomal dominant digital clubbingWenke Seifert
Institute of Medical Genetics, Charite, University Medicine of Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Eur J Hum Genet 17:1570-6. 2009..The failure to identify any mutation in a family with an autosomal dominant type of isolated digital clubbing suggests that HPGD is not the major gene for this condition... - Osteopoikilosis and multiple exostoses caused by novel mutations in LEMD3 and EXT1 genes respectively--coincidence within one familySevjidmaa Baasanjav
Institute of Medical Genetics, Charite Berlin, Humboldt University, Augustenburger Platz 1, 13353 Berlin, Germany
BMC Med Genet 11:110. 2010..The patients affected with both LEMD3 and EXT1 gene mutations displayed typical features of the osteopoikilosis.

Institute for Medical Genetics, Charite University Medicine, Augustenburger Platz 1, D 13353 Berlin, Germany
Am J Hum Genet 82:464-76. 2008..We conclude that complete or severe functional disruption of fetal AChR causes lethal multiple pterygium syndrome whereas milder alterations result in fetal hypokinesia with inborn contractures or a myasthenic syndrome later in life... - Faulty initiation of proteoglycan synthesis causes cardiac and joint defectsSevjidmaa Baasanjav
Institute of Medical Genetics, Charite University Medicine, Berlin, Germany
Am J Hum Genet 89:15-27. 2011..The described family constitutes a syndrome characterized by heart defects and joint dislocations resulting from altered initiation of proteoglycan synthesis (Larsen-like syndrome, B3GAT3 type)... - Endothelin-converting enzyme/neutral endopeptidase inhibitor SLV338 prevents hypertensive cardiac remodeling in a blood pressure-independent mannerPhilipp Kalk

Institute of Human Genetics, Charite University Medicine Berlin, Berlin, Germany
Eur J Hum Genet 21:367-72. 2013..The woman finally gave birth to a healthy baby. We suggest that genome-wide linkage analysis--based on either SNP mapping or full-genome sequencing--is a very useful tool in prenatal diagnostics of diseases... - Marfan syndrome with neonatal progeroid syndrome-like lipodystrophy associated with a novel frameshift mutation at the 3' terminus of the FBN1-geneLuitgard M Graul-Neumann
Institut fur Humangenetik, Charite Universitatsmedizin Berlin, Berlin, Germany
