OspA heterogeneity of Borrelia valaisiana confirmed by phenotypic and genotypic analyses
BACKGROUND Although European Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato isolates have been divided into five genospecies, specific tools for the serotype characterization of only three genospecies are available. Monoclonals antibodies (mAbs) H3TS, D6 and I17.3 identify B. burgdorferi sensu stricto (ss.), B. garinii and B. afzelii respectively, but no mAbs are available to identify B. valaisiana. In the sa...

The syndromic craniosynostosis is the hereditary form of craniosynostosis, which is asso...
متن کاملPhenotypic and genotypic heterogeneity in familial Milroy lymphedema.
Familial Milroy lymphedema (ML) is classified as an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by peripheral edema of the lower extremities at birth or in early childhood. The variety of phenotypes are not well described, and the genomic location and functional expression of the gene or genes underlying this and related familial lymphedema syndromes remain largely unknown. In this collaborative ...
