Medical Genetics Research Group and Regional Genetics Service, St Mary s Hospital, Manchester, UK
Clin Dysmorphol 17:255-8. 2008..Mutations in the human homologue of the mouse gene disorganization gene may also be the mechanism for the combination of constriction/duplication abnormalities with distant skin tags seen in this patient... - Molecular study of 33 families with Fraser syndrome new data and mutation reviewM M van Haelst
Molecular Medicine Unit, Institute of Child Health, London, United Kingdom
Am J Med Genet A 146:2252-7. 2008..Mutations were identified in only 43% of the cases suggesting that other genes syntenic to murine genes causing blebbing may be responsible for FS as well... - Further delineation of the phenotype associated with heterozygous mutations in ZFHX1BMeredith Wilson

Cambridge Institute of Medical Research, University of Cambridge, Cambridge, CB2 2XY, UK
Am J Hum Genet 80:982-7. 2007..Furthermore, now that the first palmitoyltransferase that causes mental retardation has been identified, defects in other palmitoylation transferases become good candidates for causing other mental retardation syndromes... - Mutations in CUL4B, which encodes a ubiquitin E3 ligase subunit, cause an X-linked mental retardation syndrome associated with aggressive outbursts, seizures, relative macrocephaly, central obesity, hypogonadism, pes cavus, and tremorPatrick S Tarpey
Cancer Genome Project, Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, Wellcome Trust Genome Campus, Hinxton, Cambridge, UK
Am J Hum Genet 80:345-52. 2007..The relatively high frequency of CUL4B mutations in this series indicates that it is one of the most commonly mutated genes underlying XLMR and suggests that its introduction into clinical diagnostics should be a high priority... - Fraser syndrome and mouse blebbed phenotype caused by mutations in FRAS1/Fras1 encoding a putative extracellular matrix proteinLesley McGregor
