Mutations in WT1 in boys with sporadic isolated steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome

Y. Yang, Zhao, F., Tu, X., Yu, Z., Yang, Y., Zhao, F., Tu, X., and Yu, Z., Mutations in WT1 in boys with sporadic isolated steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, vol. 15, p. -, 2016.

Mutations in the Wilms’ tumor gene, WT1, can lead to syndromic steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome and isolated steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome. WT1 mutations have been identified in the majority of children with Denys-Drash or Frasier syndrome. WT1 mutations have not previously been identified in boys with sporadic isolated steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome, but, recently, four boys with isolated nephrotic syndrome were identified to have WT1 mutations.

Male-specific association of the APC rs383830 T allele with the risk of coronary heart disease

J. Y. Zhong, Zheng, X. W., Ye, H. D., Cui, H. B., Du, W. P., Zhang, Z. X., Fei, X. H., Lin, S. Y., Wang, J., Su, J., Chen, X. M., and Duan, S. W., Male-specific association of the APC rs383830 T allele with the risk of coronary heart disease, vol. 14, pp. 11745-11751, 2015.

APC is a tumor suppressor gene that is involved in the processes of cell migration and adhesion, transcriptional activation, and apoptosis. The goal of this study was to evaluate the contribution of the APC rs383830 polymorphism to coronary heart disease (CHD) in Han Chinese. A total of 783 patients with CHD and 737 controls were tested in the current association study.
