  • Direct DNA sequencing was done to screen the entire coding region of the WFS1 gene in 30 patients from 19 British kindreds with Wolfram syndrome [1].
  • Treatment of fibroblasts and MIN6 cells with thapsigargin or tunicamycin increased WFS1 mRNA [18].
  • Inositol triphosphate was capable of activating channels in the fused bilayers that were similar to channel components induced by wolframin expression [19].
