Advances in mechanisms of genetic instability related to hereditary neurological diseases
Substantial progress has been realized in the past several years in our understanding of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the expansions and deletions (genetic instabilities) of repeating tri-, tetra- and pentanucleotide repeating sequences associated with a number of hereditary neurological diseases. These instabilities occur by replication, recombination and repair processes, probably...
متن کاملEpigenetic mechanisms in neurological and neurodegenerative diseases
The role of epigenetic mechanisms in the function and homeostasis of the central nervous system (CNS) and its regulation in diseases is one of the most interesting processes of contemporary neuroscience. In the last decade, a growing body of literature suggests that long-term changes in gene transcription associated with CNS's regulation and neurological disorders are mediated via modulation of...
متن کاملImmunological Basis of Neurological Diseases
Clinical neurology has been traditionally considered as an academic speciality in which the specialist regurgitates his/her knowledge of neurology without being able to do much for the patient. This attitude is no longer acceptable. Surge of information and discoveries in neurosciences within the last two decades translated into therapeutic interventions which is literally life saving in some o...
متن کاملGenes, Hereditary Diseases and Their Transmission - A Summary of Genetic Disease Early Detection Methods
In this article the major genetic disorders and the modes of their transmission is discussed. We have also briefly mentioned the modalities by which many of the genetic diseases can be detected before birth. The genetic counselling is helpful in many ways in order to advise the parents for keeping the fetus or terminating the pregnancy. The physician can reduce the anxiety of the parents, but t...
