The purpose of this study was to document the degree of overestimation of academic skills
among students with learning disabilities (LD) and to evaluate the role of reference group …

To explore possible reasons for low self-identification rates among undergraduates with
learning disabilities (LD), we asked students (38 with LD, 100 without LD) attending two …

Pyridoxine-responsive, X-linked sideroblastic anaemia (XLSA) has been shown to be
caused by missense mutations in the erythroid-specific ALA synthase gene, ALAS2. These …

Mutations in genes encoding proteins that are involved in mitochondrial heme synthesis,
iron-sulfur cluster biogenesis, and mitochondrial protein synthesis have previously been …

Haemoglobinopathies constitute the commonest recessive monogenic disorders worldwide,
and the treatment of affected individuals presents a substantial global disease burden …

Acinar cells play an essential role in the secretory function of exocrine organs. Despite this
requirement, how acinar cells are generated during organogenesis is unclear. Using the …

Salivary gland acinar cells are routinely destroyed during radiation treatment for head and
neck cancer that results in a lifetime of hyposalivation and co‐morbidities. A potential …

Congenital sideroblastic anemias (CSAs) are a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders
identified by pathological erythroid precursors with perinuclear mitochondrial iron deposition …

SPTBN1 encodes βII-spectrin, the ubiquitously expressed β-spectrin that forms micrometer-
scale networks associated with plasma membranes. Mice deficient in neuronal βII-spectrin …

The ductal system of the salivary gland has long been postulated to be resistant to radiation-
induced damage, a common side effect incurred by head and neck cancer patients receiving …
