Expanded carrier screening for inherited genetic disease using exome and genome sequencing
Abstract The goal of this study was to assess the feasibility of using exome (ES) and genome sequencing (GS) in guiding preconception genetic screening (PCGS) for couples who are planning to conceive by creating a workflow for identifying risk alleles for autosomal recessive (AR) and X‐linked (XL) disorders without the constraints of a predetermined ...

Metachromatic leukodystrophy associated with choledochal cysts and gallbladder papillomatosis
Metachromatic Leukodystrophy (MLD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease caused by the deficiency of the enzyme arylsulfatase A which is responsible for the desulfation of cerebroside sulfate, a myelin glycolipid.

Adult-Onset Metachromatic Leukodystrophy: Two Cases
Metachromatic Leukodystrophy(MLD) is a lisosomal storage disorder which is characterized with arylsulphatase A deficiency. Enzyme deficiency results with demiyelination and storage of sulphatides in central nervous system.According to onset age;the ...

Comparison of Heparin Red, Azure A and Toluidine Blue assays for direct quantification of heparins in human plasma [PDF]
Heparins are are sulfated polysaccharides that have tremendous clinical importance as anticoagulant drugs. Monitoring of heparin blood levels can improve patient safety. In clinical practice, heparins are monitored indirectly by their inhibtory effect on coagulation proteases.

Nano Approaches to Nucleic Acid Delivery: Barriers, Solutions, and Current Landscape
Nano approaches for breaking barriers to nucleic acid delivery. ABSTRACT Nucleic acid (NA) therapy holds tremendous potential for treating a wide range of genetic diseases by the delivery of therapeutic genes into target cells. However, significant challenges exist in safely and effectively delivering these genes to their intended locations.
