The genetics of colored sequence synesthesia: Evidence of linkage to chromosome 16q and genetic heterogeneity for the condition (2009)

Stephanie S. Nelson, Nili Avidan, Anand K. Sarma, Rejnal Tushe, Dianna M. Milewicz, Kwanghyuk Lee, ...

Synesthesia is a perceptual condition in which normal sensory stimulation can trigger anomalous sensory experiences. For example, synesthetes may experience colors in response to sounds, tastes in...

Mutations in Olfactory Signal Transduction Genes Are Not a Major Cause of Human Congenital General Anosmia (2007)

Feldmesser, Ester, Bercovich, Dani, Avidan, Nili, Halbertal, Shmuel, Haim, Liora, Gross-Isseroff, Ruth, ...

Anosmia affects the western world population, mostly the elderly, reaching to 5% in subjects over the age of 45 years and strongly lowering their quality of life. A smaller minority (about 0.01%) is...

Mechanisms for Evolving Hypervariability: The Case of Conopeptides (2001)

Conticello, Silvestro G., Gilad, Yoav, Avidan, Nili, Ben-Asher, Edna, Levy, Zehava, Fainzilber, Mike

Hypervariability is a prominent feature of large gene families that mediate interactions between organisms, such as venom-derived toxins or immunoglobulins. In order to study mechanisms for evolution...

Glutamine synthetase protects against neuronal degeneration in injured retinal tissue

Gorovits, Rena, Avidan, Nili, Avisar, Noa, Shaked, Iftach, Vardimon, Lily

The neurotransmitter glutamate is neurotoxic when it is accumulated in a massive amount in the extracellular fluid. Excessive release of glutamate has been shown to be a major cause of neuronal...

A Missense Mutation in a Highly Conserved Region of CASQ2 Is Associated with Autosomal Recessive Catecholamine-Induced Polymorphic Ventricular Tachycardia in Bedouin Families from Israel

Lahat, Hadas, Pras, Elon, Olender, Tsviya, Avidan, Nili, Ben-Asher, Edna, Man, Orna, ...

Catecholamine-induced polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (PVT) is characterized by episodes of syncope, seizures, or sudden death, in response to physical activity or emotional stress. Two modes of...

Congenital Dyserythropoietic Anemia Type I Is Caused by Mutations in Codanin-1

Dgany, Orly, Avidan, Nili, Delaunay, Jean, Krasnov, Tatyana, Shalmon, Lea, Shalev, Hanna, ...

Congenital dyserythropoietic anemias (CDAs) constitute a rare group of inherited red-blood-cell disorders associated with dysplastic changes in late erythroid precursors. CDA type I (CDAI [MIM...

Identification of C7orf11 (TTDN1) Gene Mutations and Genetic Heterogeneity in Nonphotosensitive Trichothiodystrophy

Nakabayashi, Kazuhiko, Amann, Daniela, Ren, Yan, Saarialho-Kere, Ulpu, Avidan, Nili, Gentles, Simone, ...

We have identified C7orf11, which localizes to the nucleus and is expressed in fetal hair follicles, as the first disease gene for nonphotosensitive trichothiodystrophy (TTD). C7orf11 maps to...
