    Zebulon Weaver (1872-1948) was a lawyer and U.S. Representative from western North Carolina. He was a member of the North Carolina Park Commission and was involved in the land acquisition process that went towards establishment of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and development of the Blue Ridge Parkway. This correspondence between R. L. Doughton, Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means in the House of Representatives, and Zebulon Weaveer-a set of three letters-discuss the probability of the scenic Parkway being located in North Carolina. R.L. Doughton to Zebulon Weaver, June 27, 1934 In this letter Doughton assures Weaver that he was doing his best to convince Secretary Ickes to build the scenic Parkway in North Carolina. R. L. Doughton to Zebulon Weaver, September 3, 1934 In this letter Doughton mentions that Secretary Ickes was going to hold a hearing in Asheville in September regarding the location of the scenic Parkway and Doughton was willing to be present there. Zebulon Weaver to R. L. Doughton, September 8, 1934 In this letter Weaver expresses his disappointment about Ickes cancelling the Asheville hearing but hopes that they would still be successful in locating the Parkway in North Carolina

    Germline mutations in the oncogene EZH2 cause Weaver syndrome and increased human height.

    The biological processes controlling human growth are diverse, complex and poorly understood. Genetic factors are important and human height has been shown to be a highly polygenic trait to which common and rare genetic variation contributes. Weaver syndrome is a human overgrowth condition characterised by tall stature, dysmorphic facial features, learning disability and variable additional features. We performed exome sequencing in four individuals with Weaver syndrome, identifying a mutation in the histone methyltransferase, EZH2, in each case. Sequencing of EZH2 in additional individuals with overgrowth identified a further 15 mutations. The EZH2 mutation spectrum in Weaver syndrome shows considerable overlap with the inactivating somatic EZH2 mutations recently reported in myeloid malignancies. Our data establish EZH2 mutations as the cause of Weaver syndrome and provide further links between histone modifications and regulation of human growth

He was a member of the North Carolina Park Commission and was involved in the land acquisition process that went towards establishment of the Great Smoky Mountain National Park and development of the Blue Ridge Parkway.

I told him that I could not see how we could sake the United States a party, sad I do not think it is necessary, end as you may recall, I wrote you some time ago shout taking up with the Attorney General the question of what effect the waranty deed made hy the Champion fibre Company to the State, after the condemnation suit had been filed, would, or might, have upon the proceedings where there were individual adverse claims in opposition to the Champion Fibre Coapany*s titles.

    Intrafamilial genotyping of Helicobacter pylori from faecal DNA

    Get PDF
    Helicobacter pylori infection, often acquired in early childhood, is a global cause of undernutrition, gastritis, peptic ulcer disease and gastric carcinoma. This study tested the feasibility of using H. pylori shed in the faeces as a source of DNA for non-invasive epidemiological studies. H. pylori DNA was chemically recovered and isolated using a specific biotinylated oligonucleotide probe with magnetic capture from 28 H. pylori positive faecal samples obtained from children attending hospital for the investigation of suspected H. pylori infection, together with close family members. Random amplification of polymorphic DNA (RAPD) was subsequently used to discriminate each isolate. 93% of stool samples selected were typeable. Parent, child and sibling samples were compared and similarities determined. Phylogenetic analysis showed that H. pylori DNA obtained from the faeces can be used to genotype individual strains, offering a means of studying intrafamilial transfer of this microorganism
