Using this approach, these investigators found that nodes (genes) with high connectivity tend to have lower levels
of change in
expression than peripheral nodes, consistent with the notion that
disease ‐
causing genes are typically not central hubs in a molecular module.
Gata5 a potential diagnostic marker for congenital heart
disease The finding also suggests that gata5 could be a potential new diagnostic marker for congenital heart defects, as the researchers demonstrated that gata5 regulates the
expression of a gene known as nkx2.5 which, when mutated in humans,
causes human congenital heart defects and
disease.
We design short interfering RNA (siRNA) molecules that are able to trigger the RNAi pathway and mediate the degradation
of specific target messenger RNAs (mRNAs), resulting in the
expression of a particular
disease -
causing gene being inhibited.

of Signaling and Gene
Expression, reported that TET2 / 3 mutations
caused myeloid
disease resembling acute myeloid leukemia in mice.
Discovered in the late 1970s, the mechanism, called the unfolded protein response, relies on communication between the ER and the cell nucleus: When misfolded proteins, which can
cause stress - related
diseases, accumulate in the ER, cells counter the surge by triggering a program
of gene
expression in the nucleus that raises the abundance
of ER proteins that foster protein folding and activates a mechanism that degrades protein clumps.
Our siRNA molecules are designed to target a single mRNA in the cell, only affecting the
expression of the
disease -
causing gene.
Our technology is a highly specific and modular platform that enables us to inhibit or «silence» the
expression of disease -
causing genes, allowing cells to revert to their healthy state.
She explains, «We think that HDAC2 serves as a master regulator
of memory gene
expression, and during Alzheimer's
disease it's elevated so it
causes an epigenetic blockade if the
expression of those memory genes.»
Additional in vitro and in vivo studies are needed to determine the
cause of the specificity
of JAK2V617F for myeloid
diseases, as second mutations, host modifiers, differential cytokine receptor
expression, and other factors may influence the ultimate phenotype
of hematopoietic progenitors that acquire the JAK2V617F mutation.

Symptoms
of illness are viewed not as the
cause of disease, but as the
expression of the body's attempt at self - healing and should therefore not be suppressed through medical treatment.

of inheritance as the exact genes which
cause such a
disease and the non-genetic factors which will influence
expression are unknown.
Line - breeding is not the
cause of inherited
disease, it simply increases the
expression of disease genes by bringing them together.
