FRA12A
Tuesday 4 December 2007
Pathology
A high level of cytogenetic expression of the rare folate-sensitive fragile site FRA12A is significantly associated with mental retardation. (#17236128#)
DIP2B, a brain-expressed gene, may mediate the neurocognitive problems associated with FRA12A. (#17236128#)
