Mol Cancer. 2008 Aug 21; 7 (1): 68 Brim H, Mokarram P, Naghibalhossaini F, Saberi – Firoozi M, Al – Mandhari M, Al – Mawaly K, Al – Mjeni R, Al – Sayegh A, Raeburn S, Lee E, Giardiello F, Smoot DT, Vilkin A, Boland RC, Goel A, Hafezi M, Nouraie M, Ashktorab H ABSTRACT: We have identified an alternative pathway of tumorigenesis in sporadic colon cancer, involving microsatellite instability due to mismatched repair methylation, which may be driven by mutations in the BRAF gene (V600E).

In Wikipedia:

Recent genetic studies have revealed a mutation in one gene, “vrs1” is responsible for the transition from two – row to six – row barley Two – row barley has a lower protein content than six – row barley and thus more fermentable sugar content.

In the ICWSM 2009 Weblog Corpus:

autoimmune polyendocrine syndromes affect more than one endocrine gland, but can also affect non – endocrine organs as well. they are driven by inappropriate MHC – TCR – antigen interactions that encourage the production of aberrant antibody production. here is a summary of how these processes are driven: Type I AIPS also known as candidiasis – hypoparathyroidism – Addison’s disease – syndrome, and autoimmune polyendocrine candidiadis ectodermal dystrophy (APECED). it is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by a mutation in the AutoImmune Regulator AIRe gene. this gene is expressed mainly in the thymus. its protein product is a transcription factor that allows the thymus cells to express tissue – specific genes so that thymus cells can present’ ‘self’’ antigens, normally found outside of the thymus, to maturing T – cells.
