Genes and Diseases
The science of medical genetics is progressing rapidly. The practical importance of this progress should be considered by medical doctors. Both genetic and environmental factors are involved in the abnormail phenotypes considered diseases. The relative significance of the two factors varies from disease to disease. All diseases can be viewed as falling on a spectrum in this regard. Hereditary...
متن کاملLong non-coding RNAs and their significance in human diseases
Protein-coding genes account for only a small fraction of the human genome and most of the genomic sequences are transcriptionally silent, but recent observations indicate significant functional elements, including non-coding protein transcripts in the human genome. Long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) have been defined as transcripts of >200 nucleotides without protein-coding capacity that perform t...
متن کاملRole of Epigenetics in Biology and Human Diseases
For a long time, scientists have tried to describe disorders just by genetic or environmental factors. However, the role of epigenetics in human diseases has been considered from a half of century ago. In the last decade, this subject has attracted many interests, especially in complicated disorders such as behavior plasticity, memory, cancer, autoimmune disease, and addiction as well as neurod...
متن کاملGenes, Enzymes, and Inherited Diseases
Six chapters are devoted to the nutritional, metabolic and genetic aspects of fungi and describe recent research in this area. These chapters include discussions of the following: four groups of factors reported to play a role in the morphogenesis of pathogenic fungi; the intermediary metabolism of fungi, with recent studies of the fungal cell membrane and its combination with Nystatin; recent ...
متن کاملHost genes and infectious diseases.
This panel presented data on host genes that influence susceptibility to or manifestations of four infectious diseases: Puumala hantavirus infection, tuberculosis (TB), Lyme disease, and AIDS. Gus Birkhead, Council of State and Territorial Epidemiologists, introduced the session, highlighting its timeliness in relation to the rapidly emerging body of data on our 100,000 human genes that stems f...
