Sortilina e risco de doença cardiovascular

[PT] O nível plasmático de c-LDL constitui um determinante chave para o risco de doença cardiovascular, razão pela qual muitos estudos têm procurado elucidar as vias que regulam o seu metabolismo. As novas técnicas de sequenciação de última geração permitiram identificar um forte sinal de associação entre o locus 1p13 e o risco de doença cardiovascular causada por alteração dos níveis de LDL no plasma. Como ser...

Alu-Alu Recombination Underlying the First Large Genomic Deletion in GlcNAc-Pho...

Mucolipidosis type II α/β is a severe, autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disorder, caused by a defect in the GNPTAB gene that codes for the α/β subunits of the GlcNAc-phosphotransferase. To date, over 100 different mutations have been identified in MLII α/β patients, but no large deletions have been reported. Here we present the first case of a large homozygous intragenic GNPTAB gene deletion (c.3435-386_36...

Glycosaminoglycan storage disorders: a review

Impaired degradation of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) with consequent intralysosomal accumulation of undegraded products causes a group of lysosomal storage disorders known as mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs). Characteristically, MPSs are recognized by increased excretion in urine of partially degraded GAGs which ultimately result in progressive cell, tissue, and organ dysfunction. There are eleven different enzymes in...
