Disease relevance of Idua

 

Psychiatry related information on Idua

  • The results indicate that Idua(-/-) mice present deficits in long-term memory for aversive training and reduced exploratory behavior [1].
 

High impact information on Idua

  • Sham-treated mice received Idua-/- bone marrow that was either unmodified or transduced with eGFP [4].
  • As expected, both Idua and D4S115h are located on the proximal portion of mouse Chr 5 near homologs for other loci on human Chr 4p [5].
  • The gene for Fgfrl1 comprises six exons and is located on mouse chromosome 5 in close proximity to the Idua gene for L-iduronidase [6].
