Lrrk2 R1441C parkinsonism is clinically similar to sporadic Parkinson diseaseK Haugarvoll
Department of Neurology, Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Jacksonville, FL 32224, USA
Neurology 70:1456-60. 2008..Several dominantly inherited pathogenic substitutions have been identified in different domains of the Lrrk2 protein. Herein, we characterize the clinical and genetic features associated with Lrrk2 p.R1441C...
Low frequency of BMPR2 mutations in a German cohort of patients with sporadic idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertensionR Koehler
Institute of Human Genetics, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Germany
J Med Genet 41:e127. 2004
Genes influencing Parkinson disease onset: replication of PARK3 and identification of novel lociN Pankratz
Department of Medical and Molecular Genetics, Indiana University Medical Center, Indianapolis, IN, USA
Neurology 62:1616-8. 2004..8) was observed. Evidence of linkage was also detected to chromosomes 1q (lod = 3.0) and 8q (lod = 2.6). These data suggest that the genes influencing age at PD onset likely differ from those that contribute to PD susceptibility...
Molecular analysis of the ERGIC-53 gene in 35 families with combined factor V-factor VIII deficiencyM Neerman-Arbez
Department of Genetics and Microbiology, Division of Medical Genetics, University of Geneva Medical School, Switzerland
Blood 93:2253-60. 1999..In two such families, ERGIC-53 protein was detectable at normal levels in patients' lymphocytes, raising the further possibility of defects at other genetic loci...
Mutations in the ER-Golgi intermediate compartment protein ERGIC-53 cause combined deficiency of coagulation factors V and VIIIW C Nichols
Department of Internal Medicine, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor 48109 0650, USA
Cell 93:61-70. 1998..These findings suggest that ERGIC-53 may function as a molecular chaperone for the transport from ER to Golgi of a specific subset of secreted proteins, including coagulation factors V and VIII...
Mutations in a member of the ADAMTS gene family cause thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpuraG G Levy

Sporadic primary pulmonary hypertension is associated with germline mutations of the gene encoding BMPR-II, a receptor member of the TGF-beta familyJ R Thomson
Division of Medical Genetics, Departments of Medicine and Genetics, University of Leicester, UK
J Med Genet 37:741-5. 2000..We have searched for BMPR2 gene mutations in sporadic PPH patients to determine whether the same genetic defect underlies the more common form of the disorder...
