Data and biospecimen from Rett Syndrome patients shared with the scientific community with the ability to visualize the list of available samples and select those with specific clinical and molecular features. It also contains information on biospecimen samples from x-linked retardation, microdeletion, duplication syndromes, autosomal MR, and retinoblastoma. The bank is active since 1998 and it is located in the Medical Genetics Unit, at the University Hospital of Siena. The bank is divided in three distinct sections: # Rett Syndrome. This section contains samples from patients affected by Rett syndrome, a neurodegenerative disease affecting almost exclusively girls with an estimated frequency of 1:10000-15000 live born. By accessing the section users can see a list of all patients available with their phenotype, the specific MECP2 or CDKL5 mutation if known and the kind of biological samples available for each patient. The availability of this large panel of patients is potentially important for the clarification of the molecular bases of Rett syndrome. In fact, a 20-30 of Rett cases do not have MECP2 or CDKL5 mutations. These patients might bear intronic/promoter MECP2 or CDKL5 mutations or they might have alterations in one or more genes different from MECP2 or CDKL5, as suggested by the identification of various chromosomal rearrangements. To confirm a causative role of these rearrangements, and to identify the relevant gene/s, it is important to collect a great number of patients in which to search for overlapping rearrangements or point mutations in candidate genes. # X-Linked Mental Retardation. This section contains samples collected by the centers belonging to the Italian network on X-linked mental retardation, which includes the laboratory of bank curators (for specific information on the network goals and organization, go to the section page). Mental retardation (MR) is the most frequent cause of serious handicap in humans with an estimated prevalence of 0,3-0,5 for moderate to severe MR (IQ<50) which increases to 1-1,5 when mild MR (IQ 50-70) is included. It is calculated that about 20-25 of mentally retarded males have a mutation in a gene on the X chromosome (X-linked mental retardation). X-linked mental retardation is a genetically heterogeneous condition. This is particularly true for the non-syndromic form (MRX), where MR is the only consistent clinical finding and no distinctive features between patients exist. In this situation the only possibility to group patients from different families is represented by linkage analysis, which needs the availability of large families. However, families linked to the same region demonstrate different causative genes. In these conditions, the number of patients available for analysis is a discriminating factor since a large number of patients need to be tested in order to fully confirm or exclude the involvement of a gene in MRX. # Other. This section of the bank contains biological materials and clinical data of patients with other genetic disorders (different from Rett and X-linked mental retardation). Part of this section is dedicated to Alport syndrome. Services: * Isolation of leukocytes from human peripheral blood samples * Establishment of EBV transformed lymphoblastoid cell lines from human peripheral blood leukocytes. * DNA extraction. * Plasma isolation. * Storage: ** Cryo-preservation of transformed cell lines and primary leukocytes at 135��C ** Storage of DNA at 20 degrees C ** Storage of plasma at 20 degrees C * Distribution of the stored biological samples.

XPPAUT is a tool for solving differential equations, difference equations, delay equations, functional equations, boundary value problems, and stochastic equations. It evolved from a chapter written by John Rinzel and me on the qualitative theory of nerve membranes and eventually became a commercial product for MSDOS computers called PHASEPLANE. It is now available as a program running under X11 and Windows. The code brings together a number of useful algorithms and is extremely portable. All the graphics and interface are written completely in Xlib which explains the somewhat idiosyncratic and primitive widgets interface. XPP contains the code for the popular bifurcation program, AUTO . Thus, you can switch back and forth between XPP and AUTO, using the values of one program in the other and vice-versa. I have put a ``friendly&apos;&apos; face on AUTO as well. You do not need to know much about it to play around with it. XPP has the capabilities for handling up to 590 differential equations. There are over a dozen solvers including several for stiff systems, a solver for integral equations and a symplectic solver. Up to 10 graphics windows can be visible at once and a variety of color combinations is supported. PostScript output is supported as well as GIF and animator GIF movies Post processing is easy and includes the ability to make histograms, FFTs and applying functions to columns of your data. Equilibria and linear stability as well as one-dimensional invariant sets can be computed. Nullclines and flow fields aid in the qualitative understanding of two-dimensional models. Poincare maps and equations on cylinders and tori are also supported. Some useful averaging theory tricks and various methods for dealing with coupled oscillators are included primarily because that is what I do for a living. Equations with Dirac delta functions are allowable. I have added an animation package that allows you to create animated versions of your simulations, such as a little pendulum moving back and forth or lamprey swimming. See toys! for examples. There is a curve-fitter based on the Marquardt-Levenberg algorithm which lets you fit data points to the solutions to dynamical systems. It is possible to automatically generate &quot;movies&apos;&apos; of three-dimensional views of attractors or parametric changes in the attractor as some parameters vary. Dynamically link to external subroutines XPP has been successfully compiled on a SPARC II under OpenLook, a SPARC 1.5 running generic X, a NeXT running X11R4, a DEC 5000, a PC using Linux or Windows, and SGI and an HP 730. It also runs under Win95/NT/98 if you have an X-Server. I cannot vouch for other platforms but it has been compiled on the IBM RS6000. Building XPP requires only the standard C compiler, and Xlib. Look at the any README files that come with the distribution for solutions to common compilation problems.

Data set of manually-guided expert segmentation results along with magnetic resonance brain image data. Its purpose is to encourage the development and evaluation of segmentation methods by providing raw test and image data, human expert segmentation results, and methods for comparing segmentation results. Please see the MediaWiki for more information. This repository is meant to contain standard test image data sets which will permit a standardized mechanism for evaluation of the sensitivity of a given analysis method to signal to noise ratio, contrast to noise ratio, shape complexity, degree of partial volume effect, etc. This capability is felt to be essential to further development in the field since many published algorithms tend to only operate successfully under a narrow range of conditions which may not extend to those experienced under the typical clinical imaging setting. This repository is also meant to describe and discuss methods for the comparison of results.
