Objective: Activating mutations in the GUCY2C gene, which encodes the epithelial receptor guanylate cyclase C, cause diarrhea due to increased loss of sodium chloride to the intestinal lumen. Patients with familial GUCY2C diarrhea syndrome (FGDS) are predisposed to inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). We investigated whether genes in the guanylate cyclase C pathway are enriched for association with IBD and reversely whether genetic or transcriptional changes associated with IBD are found in FGDS patients.

Several transcription regulators play key roles during pituitary morphogenesis. Well known intrinsic signals of the adenohypophysis such as the K(50)paired-like homeodomain proteins regulate commitment, proliferation, differential specification and maintenance of adenohypophyseal cells. We have cloned and successively characterized the mRNA localization of three pitx gene-pairs and three of their splice variants in salmon, pitx1alpha, pitx1beta; pitx2alpha, pitx2beta; pitx3alpha, pitx3beta; pitx1alphash, pitx1betash and pitx2alphaA.
