Concurrent FOXP3- and CTLA4-associated genetic predisposition and skewed X chromosome inactivation in an autoimmune disease-prone family.

abstract：:Activating mutations of G proteins, which are membrane signal transducers, have been associated recently with the development of various endocrine neoplasms. Mutations of two highly conserved codons, Arg201 and Gln227, in the alpha-subunit of the Gs protein, the adenylyl cyclase-stimulating protein, were first describ...
