Although RE has long been presumed to have a genetic component, clinical and genetic studies have shown a complex inheritance pattern. Furthermore, the underlying major genetic ...
متن کاملUnraveling the Genetic Basis of Asthma and Allergic Diseases
Asthma and allergic diseases are believed to be complex genetic diseases which may result from the interaction of multiple genetic factors and environmental stimuli. In past decades, great efforts have been exerted in unraveling their genetic basis. The strategies in discovering genes and genetic variants, confirming their importance in pathogenesis of asthma and allergic diseases, as well as t...
متن کاملParoxysmal Nonepileptic Events in Glut1 Deficiency
View Supplementary Video Movement disorders are a major feature of Glut1 deficiency. As recently identified in adults with paroxysmal exercise-induced dystonia, similar events were reported in pediatric Glut1 deficiency. In a case series, parent videos of regular motor state and paroxysmal events were requested from children with Glut1 deficiency on clinical follow-up. A questionnaire was sent ...
متن کاملUnraveling Castleman: progress in a complex process.
CD was very first described by Benjamin Castleman more than 60 years ago. It is a rarely encountered, poorly understood, lymphoproliferative disorder that really comprises a broad spectrum of clinicopathologic entities and has widely variable therapeutic outcomes. Unicentric and multicentric variants have been described. Unicentric CD (UCD) is confined to one lymph node region and is usually tr...
متن کاملReport on GLUT1 Deficiency Syndrome Conference
Dr. D.C. de Vivo (Professor of Pediatrics, Colombia University, New York) opens the conference with an overview on GLUT1 deficiency syndrome (GLUT1DS) from 1991, when diagnosis of GLUT1DS was first made, until now. He describes the process of glucose metabolism in the brain. Glucose is transported across the blood-brain barrier into astrocytes and neurons by GLUT1 and GLUT3. In astrocytes, gluc...
