The Gal4 expression 'kit' reported in this paper could be useful not only for studying Rab GTPases but also for Gal4-UAS mediated stage- or tissue-specific expression of other genes or reagents.

According to the introduction of the paper, Rab GTPases or related factors have been implicated in at least the following: Griscelli Syndrome and Hermansky-Pudlak Syndrome, both of which are associated with albinism, as well as Charcot-Marie-Tooth Type 2B Disease, Warburg Micro Syndrome (also known by the abbreviation WARBM and as Warburg Sjo Fledelius Syndrome or simply Micro Syndrome), and X-linked mental retardation.
