Genetic basis of congenital strabismus.
Strabismus is misalignment of one eye in relation to the other, resulting in failure of the 2 eyes to simultaneously focus on the same image and loss of binocular vision. Strabismus affects 2% to 4% of the population and can result in amblyopia, which is often not discovered in time to initiate effective treatment. Thus, an understanding of the genetic underpinnings of strabismus may help ident...
متن کاملCongenital disorders of platelet signal transduction.
After injury to the blood vessel, platelets adhere to the exposed subendothelium by a process (adhesion) that involves the interaction of a plasma protein, von Willebrand factor (vWF), and a specific protein on the platelet surface, glycoprotein Ib (GPIb; the Figure). Adhesion is followed by recruitment of additional platelets that form clumps, a process called aggregation (cohesion). This invo...
متن کاملCongenital disorders associated with platelet dysfunctions.
Genetic defects of the megakaryocyte lineage give rise to bleeding syndromes of varying severity. Blood platelets are unable to fulfill their hemostatic function of preventing blood loss on vessel injury. Spontaneous bleeding is mostly mucocutaneous in nature. Most studied are deficiencies of glycoprotein (GP) mediators of adhesion (Bernard-Soulier syndrome) and aggregation (Glanzmann thrombast...
متن کاملMembrane glycoprotein defects in congenital platelet disorders.
concanavalin A-binding proteins are relatively unaffected by the changes in glucose concentration. At this threshold level of glucose the glucose-regulated proteins of Shui et al. (1977) are not apparent. The reappearance of the 100000-mol.wt. glycoprotein can be correlated with the reappearance of the 95 000-mol.wt. glucosamine-labelled glycoprotein (Fig. 2) and there seems, therefore, good re...
متن کاملThe genetic basis of congenital hyperinsulinism.
Congenital hyperinsulinism (CHI) is biochemically characterised by the dysregulated secretion of insulin from pancreatic beta-cells. It is a major cause of persistent hyperinsulinaemic hypoglycaemia (HH) in the newborn and infancy period. Genetically CHI is a heterogeneous condition with mutations in seven different genes described. The genetic basis of CHI involves defects in key genes which r...
