Similar receptors and signals, some of which were first identified in the fruit fly, have been found to have counterparts in higher animals, including humans. Genetic mutations that interfere with production or functions of these molecules are implicated in a wide range of disorders of cell growth and specialization, including various birth defects and cancers. These researchers include UCI faculty members Marianne Bronner-Fraser and Kavita Arora. The service is available weekdays at UCI Medical Plaza on campus and weekdays and Saturdays at UCI Medical Center in Orange. Test results, available within 48 hours, are confidential.
