Non-invasive Monitoring of Glutathione Metabolism and Heterogeneity in Rat Tumor Tissue (2008)

P. E. Thelwall, A. Y. Yemin, N. E. Simpson, T. Schehl, J. M. Macdonald, S. J. Blackb, ...

Glutathione (GSH) is a tri-peptide of glutamate, cysteine and glycine. It is one of the primary antioxidants found in tissue and plays a major role in cancer development and therapy response (1-4)....

A new DNA marker (D10S94) very tightly linked to the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN2A) locus.

Goodfellow, P J, Myers, S, Anderson, L L, Brooks-Wilson, A R, Simpson, N E

Combined somatic cell hybrid and linkage studies between D10S94 and five pericentromeric loci (FNRB, D10Z1, MEN2A, RBP3, and D10S15) have localized the new DNA sequence pcl1/A1S-6-c23 at D10S94 to...

The mutation for medullary thyroid carcinoma with parathyroid tumors (MTC with PTs) is closely linked to the centromeric region of chromosome 10.

Carson, N L, Wu, J S, Jackson, C E, Kidd, K K, Simpson, N E

Two new morphs (F and G) detected by the centromeric alpha satellite probe p alpha 10RP8 and D10Z1 in HinfI digests are linked to the PstI polymorphisms of D10Z1, confirming their chromosome 10...

An efficient strategy for gene mapping using multipoint linkage analysis: exclusion of the multiple endocrine neoplasia 2A (MEN2A) locus from chromosome 13.

Farrer, L A, Goodfellow, P J, Lamarche, C M, Franjkovic, I, Myers, S, White, B N, ...

Members of four families in which multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A (MEN-2A) is segregating were typed for seven DNA markers and one red cell enzyme marker on chromosome 13. Close linkage was...

Linkage studies of Friedreich ataxia by means of blood-group and protein markers

Keats, B. J. B., Ward, L. J., Lu, M., Krieger, S., Wilensky, M. A., Forster-Gibson, C. J., ...

Friedreich ataxia (FA) is an autosomal recessive, neuro-degenerative disorder in which the pathogenetic mechanism remains unidentified despite extensive biochemical studies. Genetic-linkage studies...

Genetic mapping of DNA segments relative to the locus for the fragile-X syndrome at Xq27.3.

Mulligan, L M, Phillips, M A, Forster-Gibson, C J, Beckett, J, Partington, M W, Simpson, N E, ...

We have tested linkage between the locus for the fragile-X [fra(X)] syndrome at Xq27.3 and five polymorphic restriction sites identified by four DNA probes mapping distal to Xq26.1. A maximum...

Linkage analysis of a DNA marker localized to 20p12 and multiple endocrine neoplasia type 2A.

Goodfellow, P J, White, B N, Holden, J J, Duncan, A M, Sears, E V, Wang, H S, ...

A DNA segment D20S5 isolated from a chromosome 19/20 flow-sorted library was shown to identify two restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) with MspI and PvuII. The probe was localized by...

Cholinesterase Newfoundland: a new succinylcholine-sensitive variant of cholinesterase at locus 1.

Simpson, N E, Elliott, C R

A family from Newfoundland was found to have a new rare variant for plasma cholinesterase (E.C.3.1.1.8) recognized by a high-percentage inhibition by dibucaine (DN), particularly when...
