Molecular pathology of single gene disorders.
Recent studies using recombinant DNA technology have led to an understanding of the basic molecular pathology of single gene disorders. Furthermore, methods are being developed for finding genes for conditions, whose underlying biochemistry is still not understood, or which may contribute to polygenic systems that underlie common diseases. As well as providing new approaches to carrier detectio...
متن کاملMolecular pathology of NEU1 gene in sialidosis.
Lysosomal sialidase (EC 3.2.1.18) has a dual physiological function; it participates in intralysosomal catabolism of sialylated glycoconjugates and is involved in cellular immune response. Mutations in the sialidase gene NEU1, located on chromosome 6p21.3, result in autosomal recessive disorder, sialidosis, which is characterized by the progressive lysosomal storage of sialylated glycopeptides ...
متن کاملGene-targeting pharmaceuticals for single-gene disorders.
The concept of orphan drugs for treatment of orphan genetic diseases is perceived enthusiastically at present, and this is leading to research investment on the part of governments, disease-specific foundations and industry. This review attempts to survey the potential to use traditional pharmaceuticals as opposed to biopharmaceuticals to treat single-gene disorders. The available strategies in...
متن کاملRecent Advances in the Molecular Pathology of Bullous Skin Disorders
Maintenance of an intact epidermis depends on secure adhesion between adjacent keratinocytes and between basal keratinocytes and underlying epidermal basement membrane. The major adhesion units that achieve this are the hemidesmosomes and desmosomes but when these structures are disrupted, for example by gene mutations or autoantibodies, the resilience of the epidermis is lost and blisters deve...
متن کاملRole of molecular biology in obstetrics--modern single gene disorders diagnosis techniques.
Single gene mutations may lead to an inherited disorder with Mendelian inheritance patterns, of which over 8,000 disorders have been catalogued. The strategy of population screening, offering genetic counseling, prenatal diagnosis and termination of affected pregnancy has been successfully applied worldwide to reduce the number of new patients. Common fetal sampling techniques in utero include ...
