Mouse models of inherited lipodystrophy.
Insulin resistance is a major factor in the pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes and underpins the strong association between obesity and diabetes. Paradoxically, the metabolic consequences of having 'too much' fat (obesity) are remarkably similar to those of having 'too little' fat (lipodystrophy): a finding that has generated considerable interest in a rare disease. In both cases, excess energy ac...
متن کاملBiology and therapy of inherited retinal degenerative disease: insights from mouse models
Retinal neurodegeneration associated with the dysfunction or death of photoreceptors is a major cause of incurable vision loss. Tremendous progress has been made over the last two decades in discovering genes and genetic defects that lead to retinal diseases. The primary focus has now shifted to uncovering disease mechanisms and designing treatment strategies, especially inspired by the success...
متن کاملExchangeable models of complex inherited diseases.
A model of unlinked diallelic loci affecting the risk of a complex inherited disease is explored. The loci are equivalent in their effect on disease risk and are in Hardy-Weinberg and linkage equilibrium. The goal is to determine what assumptions about dependence of disease risk on genotype are consistent with data for diseases such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, autism, and multiple scler...
متن کاملEdgetic perturbation models of human inherited disorders
Cellular functions are mediated through complex systems of macromolecules and metabolites linked through biochemical and physical interactions, represented in interactome models as 'nodes' and 'edges', respectively. Better understanding of genotype-to-phenotype relationships in human disease will require modeling of how disease-causing mutations affect systems or interactome properties. Here we...
متن کاملAnimal Models of Inherited Metabolic Diseases
ond chapter is a clinical dissertation on Cushing's syndrome, combining basic and clinical science in a succinct and comprehensive marriage. Other outstanding articles within this book are the discussions of inhibin in Debeljuk and Rettori's chapter on gonadal hormones and gonadotropin secretion and the opioid regulation of pituitary secretion by Frantz et al., with a lucid explanation of the r...
