Abstract:

Genetic variation in the genome of an individual plays a key role in susceptibility to many human diseases. Analysis of the genetic variants harboured by individuals presenting with disease phenotypes is crucial for unravelling the genetic landscape of human disease. The methods that are now available for the characterisation of genetic variants, including single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) microarrays and next generation sequencing, make it possible to explore all genetic variants harboured within an individual with a specific disease phenotype, allowing for tailoring of treatments.

Abstract:

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a group of diseases in the gastrointestinal field that is becoming more commonly diagnosed among patients. IBD is usually characterized as a group of chronic diseases affecting the digestive tract that are caused by a multitude of factors including genetic, environmental, mucosal, and immune contributors. One of the subgroups of IBD is very early onset IBD (VEO-IBD), which is diagnosed in children under the age of 6. VEO-IBD is a rare yet unique case of IBD, which reports poor response to conventional adult-onset IBD treatments. Nutrition is an alternative t

Abstract:

RNA metabolism is of critical importance for normal cellular functions and needs to be finely tuned in order to maintain stable conditions within the cell. The exosome complex is the most important RNA processing machinery, responsible for the correct processing of many different types of RNAs and interacting with different co-factors which bind and carry specific subtypes of RNA for degradation to the complex. Mutations in exosome complex subunits (EXOSC3, EXOSC8) were reported to cause severe childhood onset complex neurological disorders presenting with pontocerebellar hypoplasia type 1 (PC

Inbreeding showed strong positive effect on blood pressure and negative on cortical index. The 14 villages were revisited in 2000 to assess the prevalence of learning disability and of common complex diseases of late onset.

Thromboembolism is a serious complication seen with atrial fibrillation and can range from ischemic stroke, mesenteric ischemia to acute limb ischemia.

Here we report a case of critical limb ischemia with brachial artery occlusion due to an embolus in a patient with new onset atrial fibrillation.

However, it may not apply to diseases with long incubation periods. During the course of an epidemic of a disease with a long incubation period, left and right censo

Abstract:

Huntington’s Disease is a progressive, adult onset, neurodegenerative disease. It is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and is caused by a trinucleotide repeat expansion in huntingtin, which encodes the protein huntingtin. The length of the expanded trinucleotide repeats accounts for some, but not all of the age of onset of the condition. Despite the monogenic basis of Huntington’s disease, the clinical features display marked variability within families and between those who carry the same length expansion. The variability in age of onset and in clinical features is likely to be due t

Currently, the major known risk factors for the development of LOAD are age and the ApoE ε4 genotype.

Abstract:

Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) and frontotemporal lobar degeneration (FTLD) are the two most common neurodegenerative diseases leading to early onset dementia (< 65 years). Mutations in the amyloid precursor protein (APP), presenilin 1 (PSEN1) and presenilin 2 (PSEN2) genes cause a proportion of familial early-onset AD (eoAD), while the microtubule-associated protein tau (MAPT) and progranulin (PGRN) mutations have been identified in FTLD patients. Only a few PSEN1 and APP mutations have previously been found in Finnish AD patients, and one MAPT mutation in a FTLD family, while the role

Abstract:

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder characterised by progressive memory impairment, a decline in language function and a variety of behavioural symptoms. The majority of AD cases have an age at onset above 65 years and exhibit no clear pattern of inheritance. The only known genetic risk factor this late onset AD, LOAD, is the [Special character omitted]4 allele of the apolipoprotein E gene on chromosome 19. There is significant evidence of linkage to LOAD on chromosome 10q21-23. Therefore, nine candidate genes that map to this region were examined as susceptibility loci for the

Abstract:

A number of behavioural symptoms are commonly displayed by Alzheimer's disease (AD) sufferers. Behavioural disturbances in AD can include affective symptoms, agitation, aggression and psychosis (Burns et al. 1990a Burns et al. 1990b Burns et al. 1990c). Alois Alzheimer was the first to document psychosis in the disease bearing his name, during his description of the clinical presentation of a patient upon admission to the Frankfurt asylum in 1906 (Alzheimer 1995 Schneider and Dagerman 2004).
