Molecular Basis of Vascular Birthmarks

Molecular Basis of Vascular Birthmarks

Vascular anomalies affect up to 10% of newborns, largely because of the high incidence of hemangioma of infancy. Vascular anomalies also frequently occur in adults; there is high prevalence of capillary malformations (0.3%). These cutaneous stains often cause psychosocial problems related to their visibility. Venous malformations occur in the skin and in internal organs and may cause destructio...

Birthmarks: I. Vascular Nevi

Molecular basis of vascular anomalies.

Vascular anomalies comprise a heterogeneous group of disorders that are divided into tumors (hemangiomas) and malformations. Recent advances in biomedical research provide insights into the molecular basis of these disorders and a deeper understanding of vascular morphogenesis. In the future, this emerging knowledge will contribute to novel ways to treat vascular anomalies and to regulate patho...

Inm-6: Molecular Genetic Basis of Infertility

Background: Sexual reproduction affords the stands for conserving genetic characteristics and sequentially, genetic inconsistency may influence the capability to imitate. Materials and Methods: Research was conducted by subject in PubMed and other databases. Results: A significant number of genotypes have been related with infertility phenotypes and evaluation of precise genes in humans and mod...
