A Novel Mutation in Aspartoacylase Gene; Canavan Disease
Objective Canavan disease (CD) is a type of vacuolating leukodystrophy with autosomal recessive inheritance. Aspartoacylase deficiency results in decrease of myelin biosynthesis, dysmyelination and brain edema. Although CD is a very common in Ashkenazi Jews patients, several cases have been reported from non-Jewish population. This report is based on a homozygous C.202G>A mutation in the ASPA g...

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...

متن کاملTwo novel aspartoacylase gene (ASPA) missense mutations specific to Norwegian and Swedish patients with Canavan disease.
Canavan disease (CD) (OMIM 271900) is an autosomal recessive leucodystrophy characterised by swelling and spongy degeneration of the white matter of the brain. The biochemical marker for the disorder is increased level of N-acetylaspartic acid (NAA) in cerebrospinal fluid and urine owing to aspartoacylase (ASPA) deficiency. 2 The disease is caused by mutations in the gene encoding the enzyme as...
متن کاملRapid detection of three large novel deletions of the aspartoacylase gene in non-Jewish patients with Canavan disease.
Canavan disease (CD), an autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disorder, is caused by mutations in the aspartoacylase (ASPA) gene. In the present study, the ASPA gene was analyzed in 24 non-Jewish patients with CD from 23 unrelated families. Within this cohort, we found three large novel deletions of approximate 92, 56, and 12.13 kb in length, using both self-ligation of restriction endonucleas...
