Clinical and biomarker changes in dominantly inherited Alzheimer's disease.
BACKGROUND The order and magnitude of pathologic processes in Alzheimer's disease are not well understood, partly because the disease develops over many years. Autosomal dominant Alzheimer's disease has a predictable age at onset and provides an opportunity to determine the sequence and magnitude of pathologic changes that culminate in symptomatic disease. METHODS In this prospective, longitu...
متن کاملRab11 in Disease Progression
Membrane/ protein trafficking in the secretory/ biosynthetic and endocytic pathways is mediated by vesicles. Vesicle trafficking in eukaryotes is regulated by a class of small monomeric GTPases the Rab protein family. Rab proteins represent the largest branch of the Ras superfamily GTPases, and have been concerned in a variety of intracellular vesicle trafficking and different intracellular sig...
متن کاملUnderwriting Dominantly Inherited Diseases Underwriting Dominantly Inherited Diseases
Geneticists worry that their patients and the patients’ families will be subject to unfair discrimination by medical underwriters when the results of DNA tests show that the patients are predisposed to certain diseases. They point out that these individuals may be healthy at the time the test is carried out and that, without the test, they would be considered standard insurance risks. This appr...
متن کاملDominantly inherited hypertrophic neuropathy.
Clinical, electrophysiological, and histopathological studies of some members of a family with dominantly inherited hypertrophic neuropathy are presented. Twenty-five members were studied. Seventeen were abnormal on clinical examination. Their ages varied from 2 1/2 to 78 years. Age at onset in 14 of the 17 varied between 2 1/2 and 56 years. Pes cavus and palpable nerve thickening were present ...

LEBER'S disease, with its sudden onset in adolescence or early adult life, its rapid course, and puzzling mode of inheritance, has overshadowed other forms of inherited optic atrophy. The early literature contained many cases of "atypical" Leber's disease, but the continued emphasis on the established form, even in the monumental review by Bell (1931), hampered the emergence of other forms as s...
