The gene for severe combined immunodeficiency disease in Athabascan-speaking Native Americans is located on chromosome 10p

Article Abstract:

Athabascan-speaking Native Americans have a high frequency of the most severe phenotype of severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID), characterized by both T cell and B cell immune deficiency. In a study of 14 affected Athabascan-speaking Native American families, including Navajo, Apache and Dine, evidence for linkage to markers on chromosome 10p was found. A candidate region between D10S191 and D10S1653 was identified.

Publication success in Nature and Science is not gender dependent

Article Abstract:

The publications records of some academic and research staff from the life science departments of British and Australian universities are analyzed to determine if any gender bias was evident in publication success between male and female scientists in Science and Nature, high-ranking weekly journals. The results suggest that the publication success in Science and Nature is not related to gender.

DiGeorge syndrome and pharyngeal apparatus development

Article Abstract:

DiGeorge syndrome is the most frequent microdeletion syndrome in humans, which is caused by disturbed formation of the pharyngeal apparatus. The analysis of engineered mouse mutants developing a phenotype resembling DiGeorge syndrome has revealed that interference with either of distinct phases of pharyngeal apparatus development can contribute to the aetiology of DiGeorge syndrome.
