Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer (HNPCC)/Lynch Syndrome: Surveillance and Diagnostic strategies
Introduction: Hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC, Lynch syndrome) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease. The disease is caused by a mutation in one of four genes of the DNA mismatch repair system and increases the risk for various cancers, especially the uterine and colon cancers. The prevalence of this disease in the general population is about 1 in 500 and it causes about 2-3...

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy in women worldwide. BRCA1 is a tumor suppressor gene that is involved in DNA-damage repair. One of the significant risk factors of breast cancer is the family history. BRCA1 gene consists of 24 exons that encode a protein with 1863 amino acids. Exon 11 is the largest exons and most of the disease-linked mutations have been found in it. I...
متن کاملPhysiopathology of hereditary polyuric states: a molecular view of renal function.
Recent discoveries have shed new light on the understanding of water metabolism: (1.) in addition to hypothalamic osmoreceptor cells expressing a TRPV1 variant, there are peripheral TRPV4 receptors sensing tonicity in the portal vein and changing central vasopressin secretion and peripheral autonomic activity; (2.) the central osmoregulatory gain of angiotensin action participates in the non-os...
