Neurological Disorders: Towards a Mechanistic Understanding of Restless Legs Syndrome
Restless legs syndrome is a curious neurological disorder of unknown aetiology. A new study has found that Drosophila mutants in the fly homologue of a human gene, BTBD9, that has been implicated as a risk factor for restless legs display important features of the syndrome.
متن کاملP87: The Role of the Long Non-Coding RNA Sequences (LncRNAs) in Neurological Disorders
Precise interpretation of the transcriptome sequences in the several species showed that the major part of genome has been transcribed; however, just a few amounts of the transcription sequences have open-reading frames which are conversed during the evolution. So, it is unlikely that many of the transcribed sequences code the proteins. Among the all human non-coding transcripts, at least 10000...
متن کاملRNA-mediated neuromuscular disorders.
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by a CTG expansion mutation located in the 3' untranslated portion of the dystrophica myotonin protein kinase gene. The identification and characterization of RNA-binding proteins that interact with expanded CUG repeats and the discovery that a similar transcribed but untranslated CCTG expansion in an intron causes myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2) have u...
متن کاملmannose-binding lectin mediated complement pathway in autoimmune neurological disorders
multiple sclerosis (ms) is a complex, demyelinating disease of the central nervous system (cns) with variable phenotypic presentations, while guillain-barre syndrome (gbs) is the prototypic acute inflammatory disorder that affects the peripheral nervous system. myasthenia gravis (mg) is a t cell dependent and antibody mediated autoimmune disease. although it has been shown that complement plays...
متن کاملManagement of Immune-Mediated Paraneoplastic Neurological Disorders
Paraneoplastic neurological syndromes (PNS) are immune-mediated paraneoplastic disorders of the nervous system caused by tumor-induced disturbance of immune tolerance to neuronal antigens. Tumors expressing neuronal proteins, either intracellularly or on cell membranes, are most relevant (▶Table 1). The detection of antineuronal antibodies (Abs) confirms the diagnosis of PNS in patients present...
