Does Helicobacter pylori infection relate to iron deficiency anaemia in prepubescent children under 12 years of age?
H. pylori infection does not seem to contribute to iron deficiency in prepubescent children.
We have identified a set of genes that warrant further investigation as regulators of somite polarity and vertebral morphogenesis, as well as repellents of spinal axon growth. Moreover the results indicate that, unlike the posterior half-sclerotome, the central region of the anterior-half-sclerotome does not contribute bone and cartilage to the vertebral column, being associated instead with the development of the segmented spinal nerves.
