Nonclassic lipoid congenital adrenal hyperplasia masquerading as familial glucocorticoid deficiency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Context: Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is an autosomal recessive disorder resulting from resistance to the action of ACTH on the adrenal cortex.

Mutations in SRD5B1 (AKR1D1), the gene encoding Delta(4)-3-oxosteroid 5 beta-reductase, in hepatitis and liver failure in infancy [PDF]

open access: yes, 2003
Background: A substantial group of patients with cholestatic liver disease in infancy excrete, as the major urinary bile acids, the glycine and taurine conjugates of 7alpha-hydroxy-3-oxo-4-cholenoic acid and 7alpha, 12alpha-dihydroxy-3- oxo-4-cholenoic ...

Phenotypic characteristics of familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) type 1 and 2 [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Context: Familial glucocorticoid deficiency (FGD) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder as a result of mutation in genes encoding either the ACTH receptor [melanocortin 2 receptor (MC2R)] or its accessory protein [melanocortin 2 receptor accessory ...

Genetic Responses to Phosphorus Deficiency [PDF]

open access: yesAnnals of Botany, 2004
Phosphorus (P) is an essential macronutrient for plants. Plants take up P as phosphate (Pi) from the soil solution. Since little Pi is available in most soils, P fertilizers are applied to crops. However, the use of P fertilizers is unsustainable and may cause pollution.

Molecular basis and functional characterization of human 3-methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase deficiency [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
3-Methylcrotonyl-CoA carboxylase (MCC) deficiency is a rare disorder of leucine catabolism inherited as an autosomal recessive trait. The phenotypic expression of the disease is highly variable, ranging from neonatal onset with severe neurological ...

Genetic models of vasopressin deficiency [PDF]

open access: yesExperimental Physiology, 2000
Animal models of genetic hormone deficiency are useful as models for physiological studies of hormone deficiency and hormone action. Structure—function studies of the specific underlying gene defect may help in understanding mechanisms regulating gene expression and secretion of the peptide product. Spontaneous genetic models of vasopressin deficiency,

Platelet glycoprotein VI genetic quantitative and qualitative defects

open access: yesPlatelets, 2019
Platelet membrane glycoprotein VI (GPVI) is increasingly recognized as an important receptor for thrombus formation and growth. Numerous arguments have been published indicating that GPVI plays a major role in thrombosis without being essential for ...
