CTLA4 gene polymorphisms are associated with chronic bronchitis
... Therefore, CTLA4 is a candidate gene for COPD and/or chronic bronchitis because of its critical effect on inhibiting the activation of T-cells. As CTLA4 is located near the region on chromosome 2q that showed significant linkage with COPD-related phenotypes both in the Boston Early-Onset COPD Study ...

Because half-tetrad zebrafish express mutant phenotypes appropriate to their genotypes, we have proposed an efficient method for the initial mapping of mutations using centromere-linkage analysis (JOHNSON st al. 1995a). In a family of half-tetrad zebrafish, some will be homozygous for the mutant loc ...
