Genetic testing for Huntington's disease.

Applying Bioinfomatics Strategies in Huntingtons Disease Research

Genetic testing for Alzheimer's disease.

Genetic factors are important in the development of Alzheimer's disease (AD). Familial AD can result from rare mutations in some genes. Other genes, such as the apolipoprotein E gene (APOE), operate as risk factors for late-onset sporadic AD. On a background of advances in the genetics of AD we suggest a way in which genetic information may be used in the diagnosis of AD. If there is a positive...

and moulding technicians as well as surgeons. Although it is reasonably straightforward to simulate anastomosis of hollow viscera, a much greater challenge faces design teams in creating simulated tissues for dissection and resection. The structure of surgical training in Britain is undergoing considerable change at present. Entry to a surgical career in the future seems likely to be preceded b...

The following protocol contains medical necessity criteria that apply for this service. The criteria are also applicable to services provided in the local Medicare Advantage operating area for those members, unless separate Medicare Advantage criteria are indicated. If the criteria are not met, reimbursement will be denied and the patient cannot be billed. Please note that payment for covered s...

huntingtons disease (hd) is an autosomal dominant inherited disease characterized by involuntary movements, behavioral and personality changes, dementia and cognitive decline. although the mean age of onset is about 40 years, it varies from 5 to 79 years. therefore, at-risk individuals are never sure to have escaped the disease. hd is a member of the growing family of neurodegenerative disorder...
