Del fenotipo neuropsiquiátrico al cuidado clínico del síndrome de Angelman: descripción de siete casos

Arch. argent. pediatr; 115 (2), 2017
El síndrome de Angelman es un trastorno neurogenético debido a la falta o reducción en la expresión del gen UBE3A en el cromosoma 15, el cual codifica la proteína ubiquitina ligasa E3A, que tiene un papel integral en el desarrollo sinóptico y la plasticidad neuronal. Se manifiesta por retraso en el...

Caracterización de pacientes con cáncer colorrectal esporádico basado en la nueva subclasificación molecular de consenso

Rev. méd. Chile; 145 (4), 2017
Background: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is an heterogeneous disease. Three carcinogenic pathways determine its molecular profile: microsatellite instability (MSI), chromosomal instability (CIN) and CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP). Based on the new molecular classification, four consensus CRC molecular...

Myosin-binding Protein C Compound Heterozygous Variant Effect on the Phenotypic Expression of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy

Arq. bras. cardiol; 108 (4), 2017
Abstract Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is an autosomal dominant genetic disease caused by mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins. It is the major cause of sudden cardiac death in young high-level athletes. Studies have demonstrated a poorer prognosis when associated with specific mutations. T...

High Prevalence of ITPA Alleles Associated with Ribavirin-Induced Hemolytic Anemia Among Mexican Population

Ann. hepatol; 16 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Background. The prevalence of two functional polymorphisms (rs1127354 and rs7270101) of the inosine triphosphatase (ITPA) gene associated with ribavirin-induced hemolytic anemia (RIHA) during antiviral therapy for hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection varies by ethnicity. In Mexico, the distributi...

Cancer Stem Cells are Depolarized Relative to Normal Stem Cells Derived from Human Livers

Ann. hepatol; 16 (2), 2017
ABSTRACT Introduction and aim. The inability to distinguish cancer (CSCs) from normal stem cells (NSCs) has hindered attempts to identify safer, more effective therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). The aim of this study was to document and compare cell membrane potential differences (PDs) of CS...

A c.3037G>A mutation in FBN1 gene causing Marfan syndrome with an atypically severe phenotype

Invest. clín; 58 (1), 2017
Marfan syndrome is a pleiotropic connective tissue disease inherited as an autosomal dominant trait, mostly caused by mutations in the FBN1 gene, which is located on chromosome 15q21.1 and encoding fibrillin 1. We report a case of Marfan syndrome presen ting with severe ocular and systemic manifestations...

The Matrix-Assisted Laser Desorption Ionization-Time of Flight Mass Spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) identification versus biochemical tests: a study with enterobacteria from a dairy cattle environment

Braz. j. microbiol; 48 (1), 2017
Abstract Mastitis adversely affects milk production and in general cows do not regain their full production levels post recovery, leading to considerable economic losses. Moreover the percentage decrease in milk production depends on the specific pathogen that caused the infection and enterobacteria are ...
