Hello! I am a graduate student at Tufts University in Boston and am screening patients with Rokitansky Syndrome (congenital absence of the uterus and vagina) for point mutations in candidate genes. I am curious to know if anyone else in the world is or has done any genetic analysis on these types of patients. The frequency of this disorder is fairly high (1 out of 5000 female births). To my knowledge there hasn't been any documented genetic analysis concerning these patients. The fact that no genes important for the female reproductive tract (mullerian system) have been identified explains the lack of genetic analysis. I would appreciate any comments. Have a good day =] Barbara van Lingen Boston, Ma *************************************************************************** CALL3 My name is Yuan Bo, I am a postdoctoral research fellow in Dr.J.Weber's laboratory at the Marshfield Medical Research Foundation, Center for Medical Genetics. Currently, I am working on asthma linkage analysis and my project will be finished next year.I'm looking for a postdoctoral position. I have extensive experience with cloning, transformation, hybridization, PCR and other molecular biological and genetic techniques. Enclosed please find my Curriculum Vitae. In case you would consider employing an enthusiastic, motivated, hard and efficiently working researcher as myself, I would appreciate a phone call or E-mail me in the first instance. I am looking forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
