Parkinson's Disease: From Genetics to Clinical Practice
Breakthroughs in genetics over the last decade have radically advanced our understanding of the etiological basis of Parkinson's disease (PD). Although much research remains to be done, the main genetic causes of this neurodegenerative disorder are now partially unraveled, allowing us to feel more confident that our knowledge about the genetic architecture of PD will continue to increase expone...
متن کاملThe role of genetics in alzheimer’s disease
Alzheimer's disease is a progressive neurological disorder that causes the brain to shrink (atrophy) and brain cells die. Alzheimer's disease is the most common cause of dementia and causes a decrease in thinking skills and social behaviors. Alzheimer's disease is more common in people over 65 years old. The risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and other types of dementia increases with age,...
متن کاملMolecular Genetics in Clinical Practice
By 2005, or sooner, the three billion code let1:ers of a repr«~sentative human genome will be known, along with thE! locations of all of its genes. Even today, however, the work is greatly acctelerating identification of disease..related genes. One outcome will be tlests for genetic components of risk in the majority of common illnesses. In the longer run, genetic discoveri«~s will surely lead ...
متن کاملGenetics of liver disease: From pathophysiology to clinical practice.
Paralleling the first 30 years of the Journal of Hepatology we have witnessed huge advances in our understanding of liver disease and physiology. Genetic advances have played no small part in that. Initial studies in the 1970s and 1980s identified the strong major histocompatibility complex associations in autoimmune liver diseases. During the 1990 s, developments in genomic technologies drove ...
متن کاملEpilepsy genetics revolutionizes clinical practice.
OBJECTIVES Epilepsy genetics has undergone a revolution in the past 19 years since the discovery of the first gene for epilepsy. The story of our increasing knowledge and how it impacts on patient care is presented with reference to recent discoveries. Understanding the significance of a genetic variant is challenging both in terms of molecular pathogenicity and in how this finding fits into th...
