A genetic predisposition to hypertension?
Hypertension is a major public health problem, and yet, the molecular mechanisms underlying hypertension are poorly understood in the majority of patients. A complex disorder, both environmental and genetic factors predispose individuals to hypertension. Whereas we know much about environmental factors, such as salt intake and exercise, that affect blood pressure, we know less about genetic fac...
متن کاملA review of neuroblastoma: prevalence, diagnosis, related genetic factors, and treatment
Neuroblastoma is considered as the most common solid tumor in children and it is a special types of nervious cells cancer. Neuroblastoma has high potency for metastasis to other organs such as neck, chest, abdomen, or spine. In this narrative review, we assessed prevalence, diagnosis, related factors, and treatment of neuroblastoma based on published articles from 2007 to 2017. All published a...
متن کاملGenetic Variations of Tyrosine Hydroxylase in the Pathogenesis of Hypertension
One of the major pathophysiological features of primary hypertension is an inappropriate activation of the sympathetic nervous system, which is mediated by excessive synthesis and secretion of catecholamine into the blood. Tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), a rate-limiting enzyme in the synthesis of catecholamine, has been highlighted because genetic variations of TH could alter the activity of the sym...
متن کاملMagnitude of Human Genetic Variations: A Mini Review
Genetic variations are the genetic differences found among individuals of the same species. These variations are adaptive i.e. they ensure flexibility and survival of a population in the changing environment over time. It is quite interesting to know how and when these genetic variations offer to a population the survival benefit under the altered situations and at what extent over time. Whethe...
متن کاملGenetic engineering compared to natural genetic variations.
By comparing strategies of genetic alterations introduced in genetic engineering with spontaneously occurring genetic variation, we have come to conclude that both processes depend on several distinct and specific molecular mechanisms. These mechanisms can be attributed, with regard to their evolutionary impact, to three different strategies of genetic variation. These are local nucleotide sequ...
