摘要:
The present invention relates to methods for diagnosing and treating Myhre Syndrome. The invention provides a method for diagnosing or predicting Myhre Syndrome, or a risk of Myhre Syndrome, in a subject, which method comprises detecting a mutation in SMAD4 gene, as compared to a control population, wherein the presence of said mutation is indicative of Myhre Syndrome or of a risk of Myhre Syndrome. The present invention also relates to an inhibitor of the SMAD4-mediated TGFβ/BMP signalling pathway for use in the treatment of Myhre Syndrome.
摘要:
Incontinentia Pigmenti (IP) is a neurocutaneous genodermatosis that segregates as an X-linked dominant disorder with a high probability of prenatal male lethality. A locus in Xq28 containing NF-&kgr;B Essential Modulator, a gene product involved in the activation of NF-kB and central to many pro-inflammatory and apoptotic pathways, contains mutations in the majority of cases of IP. Disclosed are methods, compositions and kits directed to a defect in a NF-&kgr;B related disease such as IP.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for treating a Leber congenital amaurosis in a patient harbouring the mutation c.2991+1655 A>G in the CEP290 gene, comprising the step of administering to said patient at least one antisense oligonucleotide complementary to nucleic acid sequence that is necessary for preventing splicing of the cryptic exon inserted into the mutant c.2991+1655 A>G CEP290 mRNA.
摘要:
The present invention relates to the discovery of the human survival motor-neuron gene or SMD gene, which is a chromosome 5-SMA (Spinal Muscular Atrophy) determining gene. The present invention further relates to the nucleotide sequence encoding the SMN gene and corresponding amino acid sequence, a vector containing the gene encoding the SMN protein or a DNA sequence corresponding to the gene and transformant strains containing the SMN gene or a DNA sequence corresponding to the gene.

摘要:
A therapeutically effective amount of deferiprone or deferasirox or physiologically acceptable salts thereof for the prevention, stabilization, treatment, or reversal of iron-induced FRDA disease in patients resulting from mitochondrial iron-induced damage to preferentially reduce the iron stores in the mitochondria. Also for the treatment of other conditions affecting the brain where a key element in the generation of the resultant pathology is the intracellular mishandling of iron.
