Association of mtDNA mutation with Autism in Iranian patients
The autism spectrum disorders (ASD) are amongst the most heritable complex disorders. Although there have been many efforts to locate the genes associated with ASD risk, many has been remained to be disclosed about the genetics of ASD. Scrutiny's have only disclosed a small number of de novo and inherited variants significantly associated with susceptibility to ASD. These only comprise a small ...
متن کاملMagnetic resonance spectroscopy evidence of abnormal cardiac energetics in Xp21 muscular dystrophy.
OBJECTIVES Our aim was to measure the cardiac phosphocreatine to adenosine triphosphate ratio (PCr/ATP) noninvasively in patients and carriers of Xp21 muscular dystrophy and to correlate the results with left ventricular (LV) function as measured by echocardiography. BACKGROUND Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy (the Xp21 dystrophies) are associated with the absence or altered expression ...
متن کاملMELAS and Kearns–Sayre overlap syndrome due to the mtDNA m. A3243G mutation and large-scale mtDNA deletions
This paper reported an unusual manifestation of a 19-year-old Chinese male patient presented with a complex phenotype of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis and stroke-like episodes (MELAS) syndrome and Kearns-Sayre syndrome (KSS). He was admitted to our hospital with the chief complaint of "acute fever, headache and slow reaction for 21 days". He was initially misdiagnosed as "vir...
متن کاملLack of Association of Mitochondrial A3243G tRNALeu Mutation in Iranian Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
Many kinds of mutations in mitochondrial (mt) DNA have been reported to be related to the development of Diabetes Mellitus (DM), this type of diabetes has also been shown to be influenced by other genetic factors and/or environmental factors. Among them, tRNALeu(UUR) and its adjacent mtDNA NADH dehydrogenase subunit 1(ND1) region within the mt genome are linked to high susceptibility to DM. A p...
متن کاملPhosphodiester content measured in human liver by in vivo 31P MR spectroscopy at 7 tesla
PURPOSE Phosphorus (31 P) metabolites are emerging liver disease biomarkers. Of particular interest are phosphomonoester and phosphodiester (PDE) "peaks" that comprise multiple overlapping resonances in 31 P spectra. This study investigates the effect of improved spectral resolution at 7 Tesla (T) on quantifying hepatic metabolites in cirrhosis. METHODS Five volunteers were scanned to determi...
