Migraine and Genetic Polymorphisms: An Overview
The relationship between genetic polymorphisms and migraine as a cause of an increased risk of thrombotic disorders development is still debated In this respect, factor V Leiden, factor V (H1299R), prothrombin G20210A, factor XIII (V34L), β-fibrinogen, MTHFR (C677T), MTHFR (A1298C), APO E, PAI-1, HPA-1 and ACE I/D seem to play a determinant role in vascular diseases related to migraine. The pre...
متن کاملMigraine: An Overview
The pathophysiology of migraine is not completely understood and continues to be investigated. The complexity of interactions taking place in the sensory neuronal network with the mediation of all different neurotransmitters involved gives the measure of the extreme difficulty connected with the knowledge of migraine pathogenesis and in particular of its cardinal sign. Neuronal components are r...
متن کاملGenetic polymorphisms and mechanisms of neurotoxicity: overview.
Genetic polymorphisms may affect the susceptibility of individuals or populations to toxic agents that cause developmental defects or disease. This commentary outlines basic concepts of genetic polymorphisms and their relevance to environmentally-induced diseases. First, we provide a basic overview of genetic polymorphisms, with emphasis on single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs). Next, we summa...
متن کاملGenetic algorithms: An overview
Genetic algorithms (GAs) are computer programs that mimic the processes of biological evolution in order to solve problems and to model evolutionary systems. In this paper I describe the appeal of using ideas from evolution to solve computational problems, give the elements of simple GAs, survey some application areas of GAs, and give a detailed example of how a GA was used on one particularly ...
متن کاملAn Overview of Genetic Polymorphisms and Pancreatic Cancer Risk in Molecular Epidemiologic Studies
BACKGROUND Although pancreatic cancer has been extensively studied, few risk factors have been identified, and no validated biomarkers or screening tools exist for early detection in asymptomatic individuals. We present a broad overview of molecular epidemiologic studies that have addressed the relationship between pancreatic cancer risk and genetic polymorphisms in several candidate genes and ...
