Frizzled 4 regulates ventral blood vessel remodeling in the zebrafish retina
(
Wiley
, 2019 , Article)
Familial exudative vitreoretinopathy (FEVR) is a rare congenital disorder characterized by a lack of blood vessel growth to the periphery of the retina with secondary fibrovascular proliferation at the vascular-avascular ...
In silico and in vivo models for Qatari-Specific classical homocystinuria as basis for development of novel therapies.
(
Wiley
, 2018 , Article)
Homocystinuria is a rare inborn error of methionine metabolism caused by cystathionine β-synthase (CBS) deficiency. The prevalence of homocystinuria in Qatar is 1:1,800 births, mainly due to a founder Qatari missense ...
