Corticosteroid-Binding Globulin Gene Mutations and Chronic Fatigue/Pain Syndromes: An Overview of Current Evidence
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several lines of evidence suggest that corticosteroid-binding globulin (CBG), long known as a cortisol-transport glycoprotein, may have broader roles in targeted-tissue hormone delivery and the neurobehavioural responses to stress. These include studies of individual kindreds with rare severe CBG gene (SERPINA6) mutations, a study of chronic fatigue patients, a community study of individuals with a relatively high prevalence of two function altering CBG gene mutations in Calabria, Italy, a study of the genetic epidemiology of chronic pain, and, finally, two separate animal CBG gene knockout models.

Abstract Background: Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a constituent of the human innate immune system which may play an important role in combating a variety of infectious diseases and thus may be important for determining hepatitis B virus (HBV) persistence. In this study, we determined MBL genotypes in chronic hepatitis B subjects, spontaneously recovered subjects and healthy controls. Me...
متن کاملThere is only one functional somatic syndrome *
Functional somatic symptoms and syndromes are a major health issue. They are common, costly, persistent and may be disabling. Most of the current literature pertains to specific syndromes defined by medical subspecialties. Indeed, each medical subspecialty seems to have at least one somatic syndrome. These include: irritable bowel syndrome (gastroenterology); chronic pelvic pain (gynaecology); ...
