Molecular approaches to mechanisms of prion diseases.
Prion diseases such as scrapie in sheep, bovine spongiform encephalopathy in cattle, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, Gerstmann-Sträussler-Scheinker disease and fatal familial insomnia in man are neurodegenerative disorders. In humans, the diseases can be sporadic, inherited, or acquired by infection. The underlying pathogenic event in prion diseases is a conformational modification of the cellular i...
متن کاملModern molecular genetic approaches to psychiatric disease.
Major advances in molecular genetics over the last 15 years have made it possible to identify the genes responsible for human diseases using purely genetic approaches that do not require knowledge about disease pathophysiology. Many successes have been achieved for single gene disorders and methods are being adapted and refined for complex diseases. The main strategies include linkage and assoc...
متن کاملDifferent approaches to molecular scanning of point mutations in genetic diseases
Several advanced techniques to detect mutations have been developed during the last years. Scanning procedures can be classified as "physical" and "cleavage" methodologies. Physical methods include Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis, Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism and Heteroduplex Analysis while cleavage methods include RNAse A Cleavage, Chemical Mismatch Cleavage and Enzyme Misma...
متن کاملStrategic approaches to unraveling genetic causes of cardiovascular diseases.
DNA sequence variants are major components of the "causal field" for virtually all medical phenotypes, whether single gene familial disorders or complex traits without a clear familial aggregation. The causal variants in single gene disorders are necessary and sufficient to impart large effects. In contrast, complex traits are attributable to a much more complicated network of contributory comp...
متن کاملMolecular Genomic Approaches to Infectious Diseases in Resource-Limited Settings
Only half a century after the landmark discovery of the double helix structure of DNA, the human genome was sequenced and a new era of biomedical research was ushered in [1]. Parallel advances in comparative genomics, genetics, highthroughput biochemical techniques, and bioinformatics have provided researchers in wealthy nations with a repertoire of tools to analyze the sequence and functions o...
