The association between H63D mutations in HFE and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis in a Dutch population.
BACKGROUND Mutations in HFE, a gene defect that can disrupt iron metabolism, have been implicated in increasing the risk of developing amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). OBJECTIVE To further establish the association between ALS and HFE mutations by investigating whether HFE mutations are associated with an increased risk of developing ALS in a population in The Netherlands and by pooling o...
متن کاملAn Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Like Symptoms Associated with Lead Toxicity
Abstract Lead is a heavy metal that affects many organs such as nervous system, liver, and kidney. The most important affected organ is central nervous system. The present study reported a case similar to Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) due to lead exposure in an opium addicted person. The patient complaint was the weakness of upper and lower limbs in addition to the unsteadiness of gait...
متن کاملAmyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis in a Patient with Behçet’s Disease
Behçet’s disease is a multisystem vasculitis. Its neurological involvement mostly includes parenchymal and non-parenchymal central nervous system manifestations. Peripheral nervous system presentations are rare. A 32-yr-old male patient who fulfilled the international study group criteria for Behçet’s disease, referred to our center with walking difficulty and repeated falling downs. Neurologi...
متن کاملCGG-repeat expansion in FMR1 is not associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis.
Recently, repeat expansions in several genes have been shown to cause or be associated with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS). It has been demonstrated that an intronic hexanucleotide repeat expansion in C9ORF72 is a major cause of both familial (approximately 40%) and sporadic (approximately 5%) ALS, as well as frontotemporal dementia (FTD). In addition, a CAG-repeat expansion in exon 1 of A...
متن کاملRAGE p.82G>S Polymorphism Is Not Associated with the Risk of Multiple Sclerosis in Iranian Population
Background and Aims: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is known as a partially inheritable inflammatory autoimmune disease which involves the nervous system. Different studies suggest that immune dysregulation has an important role in the pathogenesis of MS, but its exact pathomechanism has not yet been explicated. The receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE) is a member of the immunoglobulin ...
