Abstract excerpt
In the mouse, at least 16 genes regulate vesicle trafficking to specialized lysosome-related organelles, including platelet dense granules and melanosomes. Fourteen of these genes have been identified by positional cloning. All 16 mouse mutants are models for the genetically heterogeneous human disease, Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome (HPS). Five HPS genes encode known vesicle trafficking proteins. Nine genes are...
