13 Eichwald, Ernst; Capecchi, Mario R.; Thomas, Kirk R.Mouse model for the delta F508 allele of cystic fibrosisThe most common cause of cystic fibrosis is a mutation that deletes phenylalanine 508 in cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR). The delta F508 protein is misprocessed and degraded rather than traveling to the apical membrane. We used a novel strategy to introduce the delta F508 ...Digestive System; Disease Models, Animal; Electrolytes; Mice, Inbred C57BL1995-10
14 Kerber, Richard A.Mitochondrial genomic analysis of late onset alzheimers disease reveals protective haplogroups H6A1A/H6A1B: the Cache County study on memory in agingBackground: Alzheimer's disease (AD) is the most common cause of dementia and AD risk clusters within families.
