In this report,we describe the case of a 9-month-old male Chinese infant with a novel mutation (c.977-1 C >T)in the WDR45 gene.展开更多

Understanding the mechanisms and quantifying the rapid surface reactions to form a bone-bonding hydroxyl-carbonate apatite (HCA) layer on the bioactive glass in contact with living bone was a vital part of the early development of this class of biomaterials. A key later discovery was enhanced osteogenesis and in situ bone regeneration by controlled release of ionic dissolution products from the bioactive glass particulates that leads to up-regulation and activation of seven families of genes, a process called osteostimulation.展开更多

[Method] The polymorphism of the exon 14 and intron 14 of porcine CACNA2D1 gene was detected in six breeds by PCR- SSCP. The genetic effects of different genotypes on the pH45 value of eye muscle and ham joint muscle were also analyzed. I-Result] There were three kinds of genotypes, namely, AA, AG and GG, in the intron 14 of porcine CACNA2 DI gene. The polymorphic locus （ G --~ A） was at the 1 145 nt of the sequence （GenBank Accepted No. FJ156361 ）. The results of X2 test showed that the distribution of these three kinds of genotypes was significantly different in the six breeds （P〈0.05）. The pH45 values of eye muscle and ham joint muscle were significantly different between geno- type AA and genotype AG of pigs in F2 generation from the Jianhua x Pietrain resource family （ P 〈 0.05）. [Conclusion ] The polymorphism of the in- tron 14 of porcine CACNA2D1 gene has effects on the pH45 values of eye muscle and ham joint muscle.展开更多
