Mechanistic and therapeutic insights gained from studying rare skeletal diseases.
Rare bone diseases account for 5% of all birth defects and can cause significant morbidity throughout patients' lives. Significant progress is being made to elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms underlying these diseases. This paper summarizes presentation highlights of a workshop on Rare Skeletal Diseases convened to explore how the study of rare diseases has influenced the field's under...
متن کاملMechanistic and therapeutic insights into skeletal biology learned from the study of rare bone diseases
To date, nearly 500 unique rare bone diseases have been described,which in the aggregate affect 1 in 5000 live births and comprise 5% of all birth defects. Currently, the overwhelming majority of these disorders have no cure. Studying rare bone diseases has helped elucidate biological pathways and reveal valuable therapeutic targets that also benefit patients with common bone diseases. In an ef...
متن کاملNew therapeutic targets in rare genetic skeletal diseases.
Introduction: Genetic skeletal diseases (GSDs) are a diverse and complex group of rare genetic conditions that affect the development and homeostasis of the skeleton. Although individually rare, as a group of related diseases, GSDs have an overall prevalence of at least 1 per 4,000 children. There are currently very few specific therapeutic interventions to prevent, halt or modify skeletal dise...
متن کاملInsights Gained from Realistic Simulations
This chapter discusses the insights gained from simulations using realistic propagation model. Speci cally the performance in terms of coverage and achievable bit rates, and topologies formed are dealt with. It is shown that the topologies formed in mesh networks pave way for development of new protocols. Speci cally, an e cient paging protocol for urban mesh network setting is developed that m...
متن کاملMammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes and cancer: Mechanistic insights gained from human genomics
Over the past 4 years, nearly 100 exome sequencing studies have revealed the high frequency of mutations in the genes encoding the subunits of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers in human cancer. Most of these mutations are within the genes encoding subunits of the BAF (Brg/Brahma-associated factors) or mSWI/SNF complex, which is one of two dozen predicted ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling comp...
