Kwon J, ELLIOTT J, Yee W, Ivanovich J, Scavarda N, Moolsintong P, et al.
Am J Hum Genet . 1995 Oct; 57(4):853-8. PMID: 7573046
Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT) is the most common inherited motor and sensory neuropathy. The neuronal form of this disorder is referred to as Charcot-Marie-Tooth type II disease (CMT2). CMT2 is usually...

Nakagawara A, Azar C, Scavarda N, Brodeur G
Mol Cell Biol . 1994 Jan; 14(1):759-67. PMID: 8264643
There is considerable interest in the role of the TRK family of neuotrophin receptors in regulating growth and differentiation in normal and neoplastic nerve cells. A neuroblastoma is a common...

Azar C, Scavarda N, Nakagawara A, Brodeur G
Prog Clin Biol Res . 1994 Jan; 385:169-75. PMID: 7972209
Nerve growth factor (NGF) is known to play a critical role in the differentiation and survival of normal sympathetic neurons through its interaction with a specific cell surface receptor. We...

Nakagawara A, Scavarda N, Azar C, Cantor A, Brodeur G
N Engl J Med . 1993 Mar; 328(12):847-54. PMID: 8441429
Background And Methods: The nerve growth factor receptor is expressed in some neuroblastomas, in which its primary component is encoded by the TRK protooncogene. To determine the relation of the...

Nakagawara A, Arima M, Azar C, Scavarda N, Brodeur G
Cancer Res . 1992 Mar; 52(5):1364-8. PMID: 1737399
We examined the expression of the trk protooncogene in a series of 82 neuroblastomas to determine its relationship to N-myc amplification and expression, disease stage, patient age, and survival. We...

Azar C, Scavarda N, Reynolds C, Brodeur G
Prog Clin Biol Res . 1991 Jan; 366:219-26. PMID: 2068140
We hypothesized that defects in the nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) pathway may play a role in maintenance of the undifferentiated state of neuroblastomas. To test this hypothesis, we examined...

Azar C, Scavarda N, Reynolds C, Brodeur G
Cell Growth Differ . 1990 Sep; 1(9):421-8. PMID: 1963076
Neuroblastoma is a tumor of postganglionic sympathetic origin, and nerve growth factor (NGF) is normally required for the survival and differentiation of sympathetic neuroblasts. Since the biological activity of NGF...

Scavarda N, Hartl D
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 1984 Dec; 81(23):7515-9. PMID: 6095302
A DNA fragment that includes the wild-type rosy (ry+) gene of Drosophila melanogaster has been introduced by microinjection into the germ line of the reproductively isolated species Drosophila simulans and...

Scavarda N, Otousa J, Pak W
Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A . 1983 Jul; 80(14):4441-5. PMID: 16593338
Mutations that decrease the amplitude of the prolonged depolarizing afterpotential (PDA) in Drosophila melanogaster have been shown to have reduced rhodopsin content in the rhabdomeres of photoreceptor cells. In the...
