Functional analysis of splicing mutations in exon 7 of NF1 geneIrene Bottillo
IRCCS CSS, San Giovanni Rotondo and CSS Mendel Institute, Rome, Italy
BMC Med Genet 8:4. 2007..Neurofibromatosis type 1 is one of the most common autosomal dominant disorders, affecting about 1:3,500 individuals. NF1 exon 7 displays weakly defined exon-intron boundaries, and is particularly prone to missplicing...- Novel and recurrent EVC and EVC2 mutations in Ellis-van Creveld syndrome and Weyers acrofacial dyostosisMaria Cecilia D'Asdia
Casa Sollievo della Sofferenza Hospital, IRCCS, San Giovanni Rotondo, Italy
Eur J Med Genet 56:80-7. 2013..Accordingly, EVC2 exon 22 should be analyzed with priority by mutation screening in individuals with a suspected diagnosis of Weyers acrofacial dysostosis... - A nationwide genetic testing survey in Italy, year 2007Bruno Dallapiccola

IRCCS-CSS Mendel Institute, Rome, Italy
Dis Markers 22:257-64. 2006..The high incidence of new and individual A-T mutations in our cohort of patients demonstrates marked mutational heterogeneity of A-T in Italy and corroborate the efficiency of DHPLC as a method for the mutation screening of A-T patients... - ATM gene alterations in chronic lymphocytic leukemia patients induce a distinct gene expression profile and predict disease progressionAnna Guarini
Division of Hematology, Department of Cellular Biotechnologies and Hematology, Sapienza University, Rome, Italy
Haematologica 97:47-55. 2012..The genetic characterization of chronic lymphocytic leukemia cells correlates with the behavior, progression and response to treatment of the disease... - Interaction of DIO2 T92A and PPARgamma2 P12A polymorphisms in the modulation of metabolic syndromeMirella Fiorito
