Hearing impairment and vestibular function in patients with a pathogenic splice variant in the LHX3 gene by Åsa Kjellgren, Elenor Lundgren, Irina Golovleva, Berit Kriström, Mimmi Werner

“…Abstract Background LHX3 is a gene encoding a LIM-homeodomain transcription factor important for the fetal development of several organs, such as the pituitary gland, spinal motor neurons and the inner ear. Pathogenic and likely pathogenic variants in the LHX3 gene are infrequent and result in a rare syndrome known as combined pituitary hormone deficiency-3, CPHD3. …”

Structural and functional features of medium spiny neurons in the BACHDΔN17 mouse model of Huntington's Disease. by Joseph Goodliffe, Anastasia Rubakovic, Wayne Chang, Dhruba Pathak, Jennifer Luebke

“…The findings that Q31 MSNs differed from Q97 and WT neurons with regard to some physiological features and structurally suggest a novel role of the N17 domain in the function of WT Htt. The motor phenotype seen in Q97 mice was less robust than that reported in an earlier study (Gu et al., 2015), and the alterations to MSN physiological properties were largely consistent with changes reported previously in a number of other mouse models of HD. …”
