The genetic diagnosis for a pediatric female patient with bilateral congenital total cataracts, poikiloderma, alopecia, and microdontia was obtained by a combination of RNA-seq analyses performed on the patient cataract lens (CLe), against an age-matched normal donor lens (Le), together with further analysis of the whole exome sequence (WES) raw data.

View SamplesHmx1 is a transcription factor expressed in the developing eye and ear and in some other parts of the nervous system. Dumbo mice are carrying the Hmx1 p.Q64X loss-of-function mutation (Munroe et al., 2009. BMC Developmental Biology). Transcriptomic analyses of this mouse model allows to decipher biological pathways under the control of Hmx1. In our study, we used it to better understand the role of Hmx1 in the retina and to identify several of its target genes.

View SamplesTo determine hypoxia mediated changes in whole blood, normal swiss webster mice were gradually exposed to a chronic hypobaric hypoxic environment up to 8500m, for 2 weeks in vivo. Control, age-matched mice were maintained under normoxic conditions in Kathmandu (c. 1300 mts above sea level).

View SamplesTo determine hypoxia mediated changes in whole blood, normal C57Bl/10 mice were gradually exposed to a chronic hypoxic environment, equivalent to an altitude of 6500m, for 2 weeks in vivo. Control, age-matched mice were maintained under normoxic, normobaric conditions by exposing them to ambient air in Philadelphia (c. 50 mts above sea level).
