De novo copy number variants identify new genes and loci in isolated sporadic tetralogy of FallotSteven C Greenway
Department of Genetics, Harvard Medical School, Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Nat Genet 41:931-5. 2009..Our findings predict that at least 10% (4.5-15.5%, 95% confidence interval) of sporadic nonsyndromic TOF cases result from de novo CNVs and suggest that mutations within these loci might be etiologic in other cases of TOF...
Evaluation of common variants in the six known maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) genes for association with type 2 diabetesWendy Winckler
Program in Medical and Population Genetics, Broad Institute of Harvard and MIT, Cambridge, MA 02142, USA
Diabetes 56:685-93. 2007..We conclude that although rare variants in these six genes explain most cases of MODY, common variants in these same genes contribute very modestly, if at all, to the common form of type 2 diabetes...
