Motor restlessness, sleep disturbances, thermal sensory alterations and elevated serum iron levels in Btbd9 mutant mice.
Restless legs syndrome (RLS), also known as Willis-Ekbom disease, is a sensory-motor neurological disorder with a circadian component. RLS is characterized by uncomfortable sensations in the extremities, generally at night or during sleep, which often leads to an uncontrollable urge to move them for relief. Recently, genomic studies identified single-nucleotide polymorphisms in BTBD9, along wit...
متن کاملSerum iron and ferritin levels in alopecia areata
Background: Alopecia Areate (AA) is a recurrent non-scarring patchy hair loss of autoimmune origin in a genetically susceptible individual although environmental factors may be contributory. The aim of this study is to evaluate serum iron and ferritin levels in patients with AA. Methods: Fifty patients of AA and 50 age and sex matched control subjects without any hair loss were studied. Results...

background and objectives: the magnetotactic bacterium magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense (msr-1) mineralizes the magnetite (fe3 o4) crystals and organizes a highly ordered intracellular structure, called the magnetosome. iron transport system supports the biogenesis of magnetite. although iron is an essential trace element for many metabolic pathways of the body, increase or decrease in iron wil...
متن کاملEnhanced Hippocampal Long-Term Potentiation and Fear Memory in Btbd9 Mutant Mice
Polymorphisms in BTBD9 have recently been associated with higher risk of restless legs syndrome (RLS), a neurological disorder characterized by uncomfortable sensations in the legs at rest that are relieved by movement. The BTBD9 protein contains a BTB/POZ domain and a BACK domain, but its function is unknown. To elucidate its function and potential role in the pathophysiology of RLS, we genera...
