Genetic complexity of absence seizures in substrains of C3H mice.

15 Dec 2009 Absence epilepsy is a common form of idiopathic generalized epilepsy whose etiology is poorly understood because of genetic and phenotypic heterogeneity. The inbred mouse strain C3H/He exhibits spontaneous absence seizures characterized by spike and ... Read more...

Autosomal dominant junctional epidermolysis bullosa.

14 Dec 2009 BACKGROUND: Epidermolysis bullosa (EB) encompasses a heterogeneous group of inherited skin disorders associated with trauma-induced blistering. The junctional forms of EB (JEB), Herlitz JEB, non-Herlitz JEB and JEB associated with pyloric atresia ... Read more...

Association of HPV16 E6 variants with diagnostic severity in cervical cytology samples of 354 women in a US population.

29 Nov 2009 It has been suggested that DNA sequence variants of HPV16 contribute to differences in the behavior of individual cervical lesions. To address this question, we have analyzed the association of HPV16 variants with diagnostic severity in 354 ... Read more...
