Cystic fibrosis patients from the Black Sea region: the 1677delTA mutation.
Abstract A 2 bp deletion in exon 10 of the CFTR gene, 1677delTA, which is very rare among CF chromosomes worldwide, was found to be a relatively common cause of…

Abstract Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), is a heterogeneous disorder, primarily characterized by the formation of cysts in the kidneys, and the late development in life of progressive chronic…
Abstract We describe the molecular characterization of a novel, in-frame deletion that is located in exon 7 of the alpha-galactosidase A gene in a patient with Fabry's disease. The 3-bp…
Abstract
Abstract The purpose of this report was to provide detailed information on the safety and feasibility of surgical procedures associated with the first ex vivo liver-directed gene therapy trial for…
Abstract We have identified two individuals of Greek Cypriot origin with thalassemia intermedia. Molecular analysis has shown that each individual is a compound heterozygote for a previously described beta zero…
Abstract Clinical electromyography (EMG) provides useful information for the diagnosis of neuromuscular disorders. The utility of artificial neural networks (ANN's) in classifying EMG data trained with backpropagation or Rohonen's self-organizing…
Abstract Zinc finger genes represent a large multigene family present in mammalian and other genomes. A subgroup of these genes contain a conserved motif, the KRAB domain, at the NH2-terminal…
Abstract The distribution of ABO and Rhesus blood groups in the populations of Cyprus have been studied in 47,759 individuals (about 8% of the Greek-Cypriot population). The data were classified…
Abstract DNA sequences encoding the C2 to V3 region of envelope glycoprotein gp120 of human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) were amplified by PCR from uncultured peripheral blood mononuclear cells…
