Genetics of inherited human epilepsies
Major advances have recently been made in our understanding of the genetic basis of monogenic inherited epilepsies. Progress has been particularly spectacular with respect to idiopathic epilepsies, with the discovery that mutations in ion channel subunits are implicated. However, important advances have also been made in many inherited symptomatic epilepsies, for which direct molecular diagnosi...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of inherited eye disorders.
In the past 10 y, there have been considerable advances in the mapping, isolation, and characterization of many genes for important ocular conditions: retinitis pigmentosa, Norrie disease, Waardenburg syndrome, choroideremia, aniridia, retinoblastoma, and others. The candidate gene approach has now supplemented classical linkage studies and positional cloning in the investigation of ocular diso...
متن کاملMolecular genetics of inherited antithrombin III deficiencies.
The cloning of antithrombin III (ATIII) complementary deoxyribonucleic acids and the determination of the ATIII gene structure have permitted a systematic evaluation of the molecular basis for inherited ATIII deficiencies. Sixteen kindreds with the most common form of the deficiency, in which plasma ATIII antigen levels and activity are proportionately reduced, were studied. Two polymorphic deo...
متن کاملPneumoviruses: Molecular Genetics and Reverse Genetics
Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
متن کاملClinical Perspective. Molecular genetics of inherited long QT syndromes
Unravelling the molecular cause of QT prolongation is one of the most exciting contributions of molecular biology to clinical cardiology in the last decade. Not only have mutations in four different genes been described, at least two additional chromosomal loci have been identified harbouring genes with an as yet unknown DNA sequence and protein function. Simultaneously cellular electrophysiolo...
