In this study, we addressed whether urine-derived epithelial cells (URECs) from patients with GSD1a maintain their biological features, and whether they can be used as a model to study the renal and metabolic phenotypes of this genetic condition. …”

Two YAC contigs were constructed in Xp11.23-p11.22 in order to aid transcript mapping; the first centred on the DXS255 locus, the second mapping distal to the first and linking the genes GATA, TFE3 and SYP to the OATL1 cluster. …”
