Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) is a congenital disorder, defined by partial or complete loss of the neuronal ganglion cells in the intestinal tract, which is caused by the failure of neural crest cells to migrate completely during intestinal development during fetal life. HSCR has a multifactorial etiology, and genetic factors play a key role in its pathogenesis; these include mutations within several gene loci. These have been identified by screening candidate genes, or by conducting genome wide association (GWAS) studies. However, only a small portion of them have been proposed as major genetic risk factors for the HSCR. In this review, we focus on those genes that have been identified as either low penetrant or high penetrant variants that determine the risk of Hirschsprung's disease. J. Cell.

RET原癌基因与先天性巨结肠相关性的分子遗传学研究进展 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
先天性巨结肠(hirschsprung disease,HSCR),又称肠无神经节细胞症,是典型的肠神经系统发育异常疾病.目前已经发现11种基因和5个易感位点与HSCR发病相关.其中RET原癌基因(RET proto-oncogene,RET)是主要的易感基因.虽然大部分HSCR发病风险都与RET基因相关,但只有不到15%的散发性HSCR患者发生RET基因编码区的突变.近期研究发现,RET基因非编码区的调节性突变可能在HSCR发生中起重要作用.现着重对RET基因与HSCR相关性的最新研究进展进行综述. 相似文献

Genetic variability of Iris setosa Pall. ex Link. was studied by the RAPD method. Plants from three different habitats were compared by 135 loci revealed with eight arbitrary primers. The three plant accessions all exhibited a high level of polymorphism, and each was characterized by different frequencies of polymorphic fragments, which probably reflected the geographic isolation of the analyzed populations. The average level of polymorphism detected was 35%. 相似文献

Genetic Analysis of Growth in Tomato: Segregating Generations 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Genetical control of certain aspects of plant development hasbeen studied in the segregating generations derived from a diallelcross involving three varieties of L. esculentum and one ofL. pimpinellifolium. In the first experiment, dry-weight relativegrowth-rate was found to be inherited additively with a largedominance component which, however, was probably overestimatedin the F1 by the inclusion of only one type of reciprocal cross.Gene association in the parents was suggested by the distributionof the points in the diallel regression graph. In a second experiment,the increase in leaf number with time was followed in parental,F1, F2, F3, and backcross generations. Genetical analysis forvarious parameters of rates of production of leaves showed thecontrol to be additive with various degrees of dominance, andsimilar results were found for analysis of results on time-to-floweringand fruit yields. There was, throughout the experiments, agreementbetween the results for each generation. It is believed thatcombined genetical and physiological studies of growth in cropplants will be of value in the selection of parents for breedingimproved varieties. 相似文献

Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a major cause of hepatitis and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) world-wide. Most HCV patients have relatively stable disease, but approximately 25% have progressive disease that often terminates in liver failure or HCC. HCV is highly variable genetically, with seven genotypes and multiple subtypes per genotype. This variation affects HCV’s sensitivity to antiviral therapy and has been implicated to contribute to differences in disease. We sequenced the complete viral coding capacity for 107 HCV genotype 1 isolates to determine whether genetic variation between independent HCV isolates is associated with the rate of disease progression or development of HCC. Consensus sequences were determined by sequencing RT-PCR products from serum or plasma. Positions of amino acid conservation, amino acid diversity patterns, selection pressures, and genome-wide patterns of amino acid covariance were assessed in context of the clinical phenotypes. A few positions were found where the amino acid distributions or degree of positive selection differed between in the HCC and cirrhotic sequences. All other assessments of viral genetic variation and HCC failed to yield significant associations. Sequences from patients with slow disease progression were under a greater degree of positive selection than sequences from rapid progressors, but all other analyses comparing HCV from rapid and slow disease progressors were statistically insignificant. The failure to observe distinct sequence differences associated with disease progression or HCC employing methods that previously revealed strong associations with the outcome of interferon α-based therapy implies that variable ability of HCV to modulate interferon responses is not a dominant cause for differential pathology among HCV patients. This lack of significant associations also implies that host and/or environmental factors are the major causes of differential disease presentation in HCV patients. 相似文献

The study of vertebrate pigmentary anomalies has greatly improved our understanding of melanocyte biology. One such disorder, Waardenburg syndrome (WS), is a mendelian trait characterized by hypopigmentation and sensorineural deafness. It is commonly subdivided into four types (WS1–4), defined by the presence or absence of additional symptoms. WS type 4 (WS4), or Shah‐Waardenburg syndrome, is also known as Hirschsprung disease Type II (HSCR II) and is characterized by an absence of epidermal melanocytes and enteric ganglia. Mutations in the genes encoding the endothelin type‐B receptor (EDNRB) and its physiological ligand endothelin 3 (EDN3) are now known to account for the majority of HSCR II patients. Null mutations in the mouse genes Ednrb and Edn3 have identified a key role for this pathway in the normal development of melanocytes and other neural crest‐derived lineages. The pleiotropic effects of genes in this pathway, on melanocyte and enteric neuron development, have been clarified by the embryologic identification of their common neural crest (NC) ancestry. EDNRB and EDN3 are transiently expressed in crest‐derived melanoblast and neuroblast precursors, and in the surrounding mesenchymal cells, respectively. The influence of EDNRB‐mediated signaling on the emigration, migration, proliferation, and differentiation of melanocyte and enteric neuron precursors, in vivo and in vitro has recently been the subject of great scrutiny. A major emergent theme is that EDN3‐induced signaling prevents the premature differentiation of melanocyte and enteric nervous system precursors and is essential between 10 and 12.5 days post‐coitum. We review the present understanding of pigment cell development in the context of EDNRB/EDN3 – a receptor‐mediated pathway with pleiotropic effects. 相似文献

Klebsiella pneumoniae is a bacterial pathogen of worldwide importance and a significant contributor to multiple disease presentations associated with both nosocomial and community acquired disease. ATCC 43816 is a well-studied K. pneumoniae strain which is capable of causing an acute respiratory disease in surrogate animal models. In this study, we performed sequencing of the ATCC 43816 genome to support future efforts characterizing genetic elements required for disease. Furthermore, we performed comparative genetic analyses to the previously sequenced genomes from NTUH-K2044 and MGH 78578 to gain an understanding of the conservation of known virulence determinants amongst the three strains. We found that ATCC 43816 and NTUH-K2044 both possess the known virulence determinant for yersiniabactin, as well as a Type 4 secretion system (T4SS), CRISPR system, and an acetonin catabolism locus, all absent from MGH 78578. While both NTUH-K2044 and MGH 78578 are clinical isolates, little is known about the disease potential of these strains in cell culture and animal models. Thus, we also performed functional analyses in the murine macrophage cell lines RAW264.7 and J774A.1 and found that MGH 78578 (K52 serotype) was internalized at higher levels than ATCC 43816 (K2) and NTUH-K2044 (K1), consistent with previous characterization of the antiphagocytic properties of K1 and K2 serotype capsules. We also examined the three K. pneumoniae strains in a novel BALB/c respiratory disease model and found that ATCC 43816 and NTUH-K2044 are highly virulent (LD50<100 CFU) while MGH 78578 is relatively avirulent. 相似文献

Paragonimiasis typically results from the consumption of raw or improperly cooked crustacea, especially crabs and crayfish. Although previously endemic in Korea, the prevalence of this disease decreased in the early 1970s because of educational campaigns and fewer intermediate hosts as a result of ecological changes. Recently, we were presented with a family where all members were infected with Paragonimus after ingestion of Kejang (= drunken crab). The mother was hospitalized for general myalgia and weakness first, followed by the father, who was hospitalized for dyspnea 2 month later. After the parents were diagnosed with paragonimiasis, we recommended their daughter to visit our hospital for a checkup, because they all had eaten freshwater crabs soaked in soybean sauce. She complained of generalized myalgia, fever, and pleuritic pain, and was also diagnosed with paragonimiasis. Peripheral blood of the 3 patients revealed hypereosinophilia, and computed tomography (CT) scans of their chests showed pleural effusion. The results of antibody tests by ELISA were positive for paragonimiasis. We report here the case series of familial paragonimiasis in a modern urban city, rather than in a typical endemic area. 相似文献

Waardenburg''s syndrome consists of lateral displacement of the inner canthi of the eyes (dystopia canthorum), a broad nasal root and confluent eyebrows, heterochromia iridum, a white forelock and congenital deafness. The syndrome is inherited as a dominant, but affected individuals do not necessarily have all of the characteristics cited.Five hundred and fourteen pupils at a school for the deaf were screened for features of this syndrome. Three cases were discovered. Eleven other deaf children were found to have heterochromia iridum and two more had white forelocks. The interocular dimensions of the remaining children were recorded as standards by which to judge the presence of dystopia canthorum. The results of chromosomal analysis in two cases with Waardenburg''s syndrome were normal.The findings provide further evidence that Waardenburg''s syndrome is a distinct entity and call in question Mackenzie''s concept of a comprehensive “first arch syndrome”. 相似文献

The development of multicellular organisms, as well as maintenance of organ architecture and function, requires robust regulation of cell fates. This is in part achieved by conserved signaling pathways through which cells process extracellular information and translate this information into changes in proliferation, differentiation, migration, and cell shape. Gene deletion studies in higher eukaryotes have assigned critical roles for components of the extracellular matrix (ECM) and their cellular receptors in a vast number of developmental processes, indicating that a large proportion of this signaling is regulated by cell-ECM interactions. In addition, genetic alterations in components of this signaling axis play causative roles in several human diseases. This review will discuss what genetic analyses in mice and lower organisms have taught us about adhesion signaling in development and disease.Almost all cells in multicellular organisms are surrounded by a three-dimensional organized meshwork of macromolecules that constitute the extracellular matrix (ECM). The ECM is a dynamic structure that is generated and constantly remodeled by cells that secrete and manipulate its components into a precise configuration. It functions as a structural framework that provides cells with positional and environmental information, but also forms specialized structures such as cartilage, tendons, basement membranes (BM), bone, and teeth. In addition to its structural properties, the ECM acts as a signaling platform that regulates a large number of cellular functions. It is capable of binding growth factors, chemokines, and cytokines thereby modulating their bioavailability and activity. On the other hand, the ECM is recognized by multiple cell surface receptors that transmit information from the extracellular environment by propagating intracellular signals (for a review, see Hynes 2009).The major cell surface receptors that recognize and assemble the ECM are integrins. Integrins are heterodimeric transmembrane proteins composed of α and β subunits. Eighteen α subunits and eight β subunits can assemble in 24 different combinations with overlapping substrate specificity and cell-type-specific expression patterns (Hynes 2002; Humphries et al. 2006). This, together with the ability of different heterodimers to assemble specific intracellular signaling complexes, provides multiple layers of signaling specificity to these receptors. Conversely, the integrin expression profile of a given cell type determines which ECM components it can bind. Signals arising from integrins regulate virtually all aspects of cell behavior, including cell migration, survival, cell cycle progression, and differentiation.Genetics has proven to be a powerful tool to dissect the functions of ECM–cell interactions in complex organisms. To date, all of the integrin subunits and their major ligands have been deleted in mice. Given the large variety of cellular processes regulated by adhesion signaling, it is not surprising that a significant subset of these proteins has proven to be essential for embryonic development and/or tissue maintenance. However, in addition to underlining the importance of cell-ECM interactions in development, genetic studies also revealed critical roles for tissue- and cell-type-specific modes of adhesion signaling and provided important insights into human disease. 相似文献

The loci cre, met and ts segregate independently in Endothia parasitica. The phenotype brown (br) seems to be determined by an allele at or very near the cre locus. The vegetative compatibility types (v-c) 5 and 39 are determined by different alleles at a locus that is not linked to cre, met or ts. Analysis of two crosses of v-c 5 strains by v-c 10 strains provides evidence that these two v-c groups are different at 5 or more v-c loci. 相似文献

The deleterious effects of inbreeding have been of extreme importance to evolutionary biology, but it has been difficult to characterize the complex interactions between genetic constraints and selection that lead to fitness loss and recovery after inbreeding. Haploid organisms and selfing organisms like the nematode Caenorhabditis elegans are capable of rapid recovery from the fixation of novel deleterious mutation; however, the potential for recovery and genomic consequences of inbreeding in diploid, outcrossing organisms are not well understood. We sought to answer two questions: 1) Can a diploid, outcrossing population recover from inbreeding via standing genetic variation and new mutation? and 2) How does allelic diversity change during recovery? We inbred C. remanei, an outcrossing relative of C. elegans, through brother-sister mating for 30 generations followed by recovery at large population size. Inbreeding reduced fitness but, surprisingly, recovery from inbreeding at large populations sizes generated only very moderate fitness recovery after 300 generations. We found that 65% of ancestral single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) were fixed in the inbred population, far fewer than the theoretical expectation of ∼99%. Under recovery, 36 SNPs across 30 genes involved in alimentary, muscular, nervous, and reproductive systems changed reproducibly across replicates, indicating that strong selection for fitness recovery does exist. Our results indicate that recovery from inbreeding depression via standing genetic variation and mutation is likely to be constrained by the large number of segregating deleterious variants present in natural populations, limiting the capacity for recovery of small populations. 相似文献
