charcot-marie-tooth (cmt) diseases represent a heterogeneous genetic disorder with more than 80 genes implicated, however sharing a similar phenotype. in recent years, advances in molecular genetics and molecular biology, and also the development of various animal models of cmt, have led to a better understanding. this knowledge represents a prerequisite for the development of future therapies ...

like myasthenia gravis, congenital myasthenic syndrome (cms) produces weakness and fatigue caused by problems at the neuromuscular junction but while mg is autoimmune, cms is an inherited disease caused by defective genes. genes defective in cms are required for making the ach receptor or other components of the neuromuscular junction. cmss are inherited in an ar, or, less frequently, ad manner...

clostridium perfringens is an important pathogen that provokes numerous different diseases. this bacterium is classified into five various types, each of which capable of causing a distinct disease. there are various methods for the bacterial identification, many are labor-intensive, time-consuming, expensive and also show low sensitivity and specificity. the aim of this research was to identif...
