Molecular diagnosis of Huntington disease in Portugal : implications for genetic counselling and clinical practice [PDF]
Huntington disease (HD) is a eurodegenerative, autosomal dominant disorder of late-onset, caused by the expansion of a CAG repeat in the coding region of the gene. Ours is the reference laboratory for genetic testing in HD, in Portugal, since 1998; 90.1%

Mitochondria‐Associated Membranes: A Key Point of Neurodegenerative Diseases
ABSTRACT Background Neurodegenerative diseases pose significant health challenges in the 21st century, with increasing morbidity and mortality, particularly among the elderly population. One of the key factors contributing to the pathogenesis of these diseases is the disrupted crosstalk between mitochondria and the endoplasmic reticulum.

The Power Struggle: Kynurenine Pathway Enzyme Knockouts and Brain Mitochondrial Respiration
Kynurenine pathway enzyme knockouts impair mitochondrial respiration. The deletion of kynurenine aminotransferase genes leads to significant impairment of mitochondrial respiration and ATP production, highlighting the critical role these enzymes play in cellular energy metabolism.
