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,

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 ...

A Review of Selected Genes with Known Effects on Performance and Health of Cattle

open access: yesFrontiers in Veterinary Science, 2016
There are genetic conditions that influence production in dairy and beef cattle. The objective of this review was to describe relevant genetic conditions that have been associated with productivity and health in cattle. Genes or genomic regions that have

Genetics of Primary CoQ10 Deficiency

open access: yesCurrent Genomics, 2006
Coenzyme Q (CoQ) is a lipophilic component of the mitochondrial respiratory enzyme chain, which transfers electrons to complex III (cytochrome bc complex) from complex I (NADH-CoQ reductase), complex II (succinate dehydrogenase), and from the oxidation of fatty acids and branched-chain amino acids via flavin-linked dehydrogenases.

Identification of Regulatory Mutations in SERPINC1 Affecting Vitamin D Response Elements Associated with Antithrombin Deficiency. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Antithrombin is a crucial anticoagulant serpin whose even moderate deficiency significantly increases the risk of thrombosis. Most cases with antithrombin deficiency carried genetic defects affecting exons or flanking regions of SERPINC1.We aimed to ...

A Comprehensive Evaluation of Potential Lung Function Associated Genes in the SpiroMeta General Population Sample [PDF]

open access: yes, 2011
Rationale: Lung function measures are heritable traits that predict population morbidity and mortality and are essential for the diagnosis of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Variations in many genes have been reported to affect these traits,

Genetic analyses reveal a role for vitamin D insufficiency in HCV-associated hepatocellular carcinoma development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Background: Vitamin D insufficiency has been associated with the occurrence of various types of cancer, but causal relationships remain elusive. We therefore aimed to determine the relationship between genetic determinants of vitamin D serum levels and ...

Genetics of Growth Disorders—Which Patients Require Genetic Testing?

open access: yesFrontiers in Endocrinology, 2019
The second 360° European Meeting on Growth Hormone Disorders, held in Barcelona, Spain, in June 2017, included a session entitled Pragmatism vs. Curiosity in Genetic Diagnosis of Growth Disorders, which examined current concepts of genetics and growth in

The Features of GGT in Patients with ATP8B1 or ABCB11 Deficiency Improve the Diagnostic Efficiency. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2016
Genetic defects in ATP8B1 or ABCB11 account for the majority of cholestasis with low GGT. But the ranges for GGT in patients with ATP8B1 or ABCB11 deficiency are unclear.
