Editorial Review

Product Description
In this volume, leading international experts review the latest scientific and clinical observations on inherited ataxias. The book demonstrates how molecular genetic studies, as well as recent physiological, neurochemical, and clinical data, have generated new concepts on inherited ataxias, particularly on the nosology of these disorders. The opening chapters review the clinical features and classification of inherited ataxias, examine clinical and imaging correlations, describe the anatomy and physiology of cerebellar disease, and discuss the scientific and clinical relevance of neurotransmitters in the cerebellum. A major portion of the book focuses on current clinical and molecular genetic studies of various forms of inherited ataxia, including a molecular analysis of the Friedreich's ataxia locus. Experimental therapeutic observations on cerebellar grafting are presented. ... Read more

Description:
The occurrence of acute or late normal tissue reactions after therapeutic radiotherapy and cellular responses in in vitro radiosensitivity assays do not correlate well suggesting that to date no one test system is suitable for predicting the risk or severity of such reactions. New insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of this sensitivity are coming from studies that assess associations between common polymorphisms in DNA damage detection and repair genes and the development of adverse reactions to radiotherapy. The presence of such variants may alter protein function and an individual's capacity to repair damaged DNA modifying the response of the normal tissue. Polymorphisms in the XRCC1, ATM, hHR21 and TGF@b1 genes have been shown to be associated with an increased risk of developing an adverse normal tissue reaction to radiotherapy, whilst one variant in the ATM gene has been reported to be radioprotective. Functional studies, taking into account either the haplotypes or the combined genotypes when multiple polymorphisms in a gene are present, will be necessary to establish the mechanistic basis of these associations. In the future association studies can only benefit from the analysis of multiple genes in large, well-characterized cohorts in particular to identify genetic factors that might specifically influence the temporal occurrence of these adverse reactions. ...

Editorial Review

Product Description
Hardbound. Considerable editorial effort was invested to make this book a companion to volume 59 that reviews the disorders of the efferent limbs, because both deal with matters in a very rapidly developing field.

The reader of this volume will be struck by three marked differences with Vol. 21 of the original HCNseries. The first - awareness of the tremendous data-increment on adult-onset autosomal-dominant OPCA over the recent years led the editors to opt for a less-rigidly conceptualized and more realistic presentation of that topic, this presentation having two obvious merits: it stays close to clinical reality, and it leaves the field wide open for the ordering principle of molecular genetics to draw the definitive lines of the frame.

The second conspicuous difference is the neuropathy-classification chapter based on the work of the WFN Research Group, and an exhaustive ataxia differential diagnosis chapter.

The third and final differenc ... Read more

Purchase includes a free trial membership in the publisher's book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: Ataxia telangiectasia (A-T) (Boder-Sedgwick syndrome or LouisBar syndrome) is a rare, neurodegenerative, inherited disease that affects many parts of the body and causes severe disability. Ataxia refers to poor coordination and telangiectasia to small dilated blood vessels, both of which are hallmarks of the disease. A-T affects the cerebellum (the body's motor coordination control center) and also weakens the immune system in about 70% of the cases, leading to respiratory disorders and increased risk of cancer. It first appears in early childhood (the toddler stage) with symptoms such as lack of balance, slurred speech, and increased infections. Because all children at this age take time to develop good walking skills, coherent speech, and an effective immune system, it may be some years before A-T is properly diagnosed. AT is caused by a defect in the ATM gene, which is responsible for recognizing and correcting errors in duplicating DNA when cells divide, and in destroying the cells when the errors can't be corrected. The gene normally repairs double-stranded DNA breaks. So far there appear to be three forms of A-T: These are sometimes classified into types from I to IV. There are several other disorders with similar symptoms that physicians may consider when diagnosing A-T. These include: Ataxia-telangiectasia like disorder (ATLD) is an extremely rare condition that could be considered in the differential diagnosis of A-T. ATLD patients are very similar to A-T patients in showing a progressive cerebellar ataxia, hypersensitivity to ionising radiation and genomic instability .

Product Description
Here, an overview is given on previous research and trial endeavours to treat Friedreich's ataxia (FRDA), the most common autosomal recessive neurodegenerative disease for which there are currently no effective treatments available. This book describes the search for possible drug targets at the DNA level with an emphasis on epigenetic mechanisms. During detailed investigation of the first part of the Frataxin (FXN) gene, the presence of an RNA pol II transcriptional pausing site was evident. This may represent a crucial site for new drug development approaches and might explain the relatively poor outcomes of current drug approaches to up-regulate this gene. This book should be a valuable source of information for anyone who is interested in FRDA and its molecular mechanisms. ... Read more
