Large animal models of rare genetic disorders: sheep as phenotypically relevant models of human genetic disease
Animals that accurately model human disease are invaluable in medical research, allowing a critical understanding of disease mechanisms, and the opportunity to evaluate the effect of therapeutic compounds in pre-clinical studies. Many types of animal models are used world-wide, with the most common being small laboratory animals, such as mice. However, rodents often do not faithfully replicate ...
متن کاملBiological response modifiers.
Biological response modifiers (BRMs) of current clinical interest may be divided into two categories: immunomodulating agents and colony stimulating factors (CSFs). The first are employed to potentiate the host defences towards the tumor but results have proved disappointing in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). With regard to the second, the real dose increment which may be ascribed to CSFs i...
متن کاملGenetic Eye Diseases: Retinitis Pigmentosa and Other Inherited Eye Disorders
This volume should be available to all clinicians caring for patients with this confusing group of disorders. Hematologists, geneticists, general surgeons, and pediatricians will find it of great value. Investigators whose field of interest includes the lysosomal storage diseases and the function of lysosomal hydrolases will also find it of value, particularly from the methodological point of v...
متن کاملGenetic markers as instrumental variables
The use of genetic markers as instrumental variables (IV) is receiving increasing attention from economists, statisticians, epidemiologists and social scientists. Although IV is commonly used in economics, the appropriate conditions for the use of genetic variants as instruments have not been well defined. The increasing availability of biomedical data, however, makes understanding of these con...
متن کاملGenetic interaction of Lobe with its modifiers in dorsoventral patterning and growth of the Drosophila eye.
Dorsoventral (DV) patterning is essential for growth of the Drosophila eye. Recent studies suggest that ventral is the default state of the early eye, which depends on Lobe (L) function, and that the dorsal fate is established later by the expression of the dorsal selector gene pannier (pnr). However, the mechanisms of regulatory interactions between L and dorsal genes are not well understood. ...
