Lipid storage disorder - Gaucher disease E75.22.
Gaucher disease is the most common of the lipid storage diseases. It is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme glucocerebrosidase. Fatty material can collect in the spleen, liver, kidneys, lungs, brain, and bone marrow. Symptoms may include enlarged spleen and liver, liver malfunction, skeletal disorders and bone lesions that may cause pain, severe neurologic complications, swelling of lymph nodes and (occasionally) adjacent joints, distended abdomen, a brownish tint ...

After training as an A-7E pilot, he was assigned to Attack Squadron 192 (VA-192) from August 1970 to September 1972 aboard the USS Kitty Hawk and, during this time, flew 315 combat missions in Southeast Asia. He served as a flight instructor with the A-7E Readiness Training Squadron (VA-122) at Naval Air Station, Lemoore, California, from September 1972 to December 1973 and was then selected to attend the U.S. Naval Test Pilot School, Patuxen ...

| | | | | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - Megacolon - Megacolon in Chagas disease In Central and South America, the most common incidence of chronic megacolon is that observed in ca. 20% of patients affected with Chagas disease, caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, a flagellate protozoan transmitted by the the feces of an hematophagous insect, the assassin bugs, or by contamination through blood transfusion or pregnancy. There are several theories on how megacolon (and also megaesophagus) develops in Chagas disease. The Austrian-Brazilian physician and pathologist Fritz Köberle was the first to propose a coherent hypothesis base ...

| | | | | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - Long QT syndrome - Genetics The two most common types of LQTS are genetic and drug-induced. Genetic LQTS can arise from mutation to one of several genes. These mutations tend to prolong the duration of the ventricular action potential (APD), thus lengthening the QT interval. LQTS can be inherited in an autosomal dominant or an autosomal recessive fashion. The autosomal recessive forms of LQTS tend to have a more severe phenotype, with some variants having associated syndactyly or congenital neural deafness. A number of specific genes loci have been identified that are ...

| | | | | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - Intragenomic conflict - Nuclear genes This section deals with conflict between nuclear genes.
Intragenomic conflict - Meiotic drive.
All nuclear genes in a given diploid genome cooperate because each allele have an equal probability of being present in a gamete. This fairness is guaranteed by meiosis. But there is one type of gene, called segregation distorter, that cheats during meiosis or gametogenesis and thus are present in more than a half of the functional gametes. The most studied examples are sd in Drosophila melanogaster (fruit ...

| | | | | | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - Glucokinase - Function and regulation of GK in the liver: initiator of glycogen synthesis Most of the glucokinase in a mammal is found in the liver, and glucokinase provides approximately 95% of the hexokinase activity in hepatocytes. Phosphorylation of glucose to glucose-6-phosphate (G6P) by glucokinase is the first step of both glycogen synthesis and glycolysis in the liver. These are two of the anabolic responses to a carbohydrate meal.
When ample glucose is available, glycogen synthesis proceeds at the periphery of the hepatocytes until the cells are replete with glycogen. Excess glucose is then increasingly converted into triglycerides for export a ...

| | | | | | chromosome: Encyclopedia II - HMG-CoA reductase - Regulation Regulation of HMG-CoA reductase is achieved at several levels: transcription, translation, degradation and phosphorylation.
HMG-CoA reductase - Transcription of the reductase gene.
Transcription of the reductase gene is enhanced by the sterol regulatory element binding protein (SREBP). This protein binds to the sterol regulatory element (SRE), located on the 5' end of the reductase gene. When SREBP is inactive, it is bound to the ER or nuclear membrane. When cholesterol levels fall, SREBP is ...

Human genetic engineering - Curing medical conditions.
When treating problems that arise from genetic disorder, one solution is gene therapy. A genetic disorder is a situation where some genes are missing or faulty. When this happens, genes may be expressed in unfavorable ways or not at all, and this generally leads to further complicatons.
The idea of gene therapy is that a non-pathogenic virus or other delivery system can be used to insert a piece of DNA--a good copy of the gene--into cells of the living ...

The abuse and forcible institutionalization of people with Down syndrome was closely linked to early twentieth-century racial and eugenic theory, culminating in the killing of many people with Down syndrome and other disabilities by the Nazi government in Germany in the 1930s-1945, and the creation of compulsory sterilization prog ...

Miscarriage - Threatened abortion O20.0.
A threatened abortion is the development of symptoms (bleeding with or without cramps or low back pain) that often suggest impending miscarriage. With such a presentation of bleeding, 50% proceed to miscarriage of the pregnancy.
Management of these patients involves an examination to assess for cervical dilatation, an ultrasound to assess fetal viability, and bedrest for the woman, though there is no scientifically-proven benefit for the latter. When a threatened abortion occurs, no hormone ...
