متن کاملGenetic basis of pediatric epilepsy syndromes
Childhood epilepsy affects ~0.5-1% in the general population worldwide. Early-onset epileptic encephalopathies are considered to be severe neurological disorders, which lead to impaired motor, cognitive, and sensory development due to recurrence of seizures. Many of the observed epilepsy phenotypes are associated with specific chromosomal imbalances and thus display gene dosage effects, and als...
متن کاملKindling: separate vs. shared mechanisms in affective disorders and epilepsy.
Kindling is discussed in relation to affective illness as a nonhomologous model, which shares the feature of increasing illness severity and evolution over time following repeated exposures to certain forms of stimulation. This progressive aspect of kindling has proven useful in the study of approaches to pharmacotherapeutics, mechanisms and characteristics of drug tolerance, and, most recently...
متن کاملGenetic Basis of Dental Disorders: A Review
Deciphering the relative roles of heredity and environmental factors (“nature vs. nurture”) in the pathogenesis of dental caries and diseases of the periodontium has occupied clinical and basic researchers for decades. Success in the endeavor has come more easily in the case of caries; the complex interactions that occur between host-response mechanisms and mutative microbiologic pathogens in p...
متن کاملThe genetic basis of myeloproliferative disorders.
For many decades, myeloproliferative disorders (MPD) were largely neglected orphan diseases. The conceptual work of William Dameshek in 1951 provided the basis for understanding MPD as a continuum of related syndromes, possibly with a common pathogenetic cause. Recognition of the clonal origin of peripheral blood cells in MPD in 1976 and the ability to grow erythroid colonies in vitro in the ab...
