on or after October 1, 1995, unless it
displays a currently valid OMB control
number.
Proposed Collection: Title: STAR
METRICS (Science and Technology for
America’s Reinvestment: Measuring the
EffecTs of Research on Innovation,
Competitiveness and Science). Type of
information Collection Request:
Extension of OMB number 0925–0616,
expiration date 03/31/2012. Need and
Use of Information Collection: The aim
of STAR METRICS is twofold. The goal
of STAR METRICS is to continue to
provide mechanisms that will allow
participating universities and Federal
agencies with a reliable and consistent
means to account for the number of
scientists and staff that are on research
institution payrolls, supported by
federal funds. In subsequent generations
of the program, it is hoped that STAR
METRICS will allow for measurement of
science impact on economic outcomes
(such as job creation), on knowledge
generation (such as citations, and
patents) as well as on social and health
outcomes.
Frequency of Response: Quarterly.
Affected Public: Universities and other
research institutions. Type of
Respondents: University administrators.
The annual reporting burden is as
follows:
Estimated Number of Respondent:
100. Estimated Number of Responses
per Respondent: 4. Average Burden
Hours per Response: 2.5. Estimated
Total Annual Burden Hours Requested:
1,315. The annualized cost to
respondents is estimated to be $65,750.
There are no Capital Costs to report.
There are no Operating or Maintenance
Costs to report.

Model Cell Lines With and Without
AKT1 Mutations Derived From Proteus
Syndrome Patients
Description of Technology: The
Proteus syndrome is a congenital
disorder characterized by patchy
overgrowth and hyperplasia (cell
proliferation) of multiple tissues and
organs, along with susceptibility to
developing tumors. It is a rare disorder,
with incidence of less than one case per
million, caused by a somatic mutation.
It is also a mosaic disorder, that is one
in which cells of the same person have
different genetic content from one
another. The NHGRI inventors have
generated cell lines from patients with
Proteus syndrome and discovered that a
somatic activating mutation in the
serine-threonine kinase AKT1 is
associated with Proteus syndrome.
AKT1 is an oncogene and an enzyme
known to mediate cell proliferation and
apoptosis (programmed cell death
process) and has been a target for anticancer therapies. A number of singlecell lines with the AKT1 mutation
showing increased AKT1
phosphorylation and their matched
controls without the mutation have been
generated. The cell lines can be used to
screen therapeutic targets for AKT1, for
study design, as models of Proteus
syndrome and early stages of cancerous
conditions.
Potential Commercial Applications
• Cell lines generated from patients
with Proteus syndrome.
• Obtained a number of single-cell
lines with the AKT1 mutation and their
matched controls without the mutation.
