Kidney Diseases: Environmental and Genetic Factors
The spectrum of hereditary (autosomal dominant) renal cancer syndrome is widening with time. Von Hippel-Lindau (VHL) disease was first to be identified. Attention has been focused on novel localizations of VHL disease (in addition to central nervous system and retinal involvement, bilateral and multifocal renal cell carcinoma [RCC], and pheochromocytoma), such as pancreas cysts and tumors and, ...
متن کاملGenetic and environmental factors influencing human diseases with telomere dysfunction.
Both genetic and environmental factors have been implicated in the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of serious and fatal forms of human blood disorder (acquired aplastic anemia, AA) and lung disease (idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis, IPF). We and other researchers have recently shown that naturally occurring mutations in genes encoding the telomere maintenance complex (telomerase) may predisp...
متن کاملEnvironmental factors and allergic diseases.

Surrounding climate may directly influence each patient, but also determines type of flora and fauna within particular geographical regions and thus affects s...
متن کاملGenetic Diseases of the Kidney
The number of genes associated with renal disease is increasing every day and this has led to a clearer understanding of the pathophysiology of renal disease in many disorders. It is also appreciated now that a genetic mutation(s) underlie many renal syndromes. Genetic testing may also offer the possibility to diagnose some renal diseases without the need for a renal biopsy. It also allows the ...
متن کاملEnvironmental Factors in Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s Diseases
Environmental factors can contribute to the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases, including Alzheimer’s Diseases (AD) and Parkinson’s Diseases (PD). For instance, traumatic brain injury has been suggested to be a chronic health condition. One progressive tauopathy, chronic traumatic encephalopathy, is believed to stem from repeated traumas to the brain. In addition, genetic studies have h...
