We know that great majority of both hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism are caused by abnormal and harmful response (behaviour) of the immune system. The autoimmune form of hypothyroidism is called Hashimoto’s disease and in case of hyperthyroidism it is Graves disease....
Current studies on methylation in keratitis focus mainly on Herpes simplex keratitis (HSK), which is caused by the highly prevalent Herpes simplex virus (HSV) [158]. Ocular disease brought on by HSV-1 infection is typically manifested as HSK [159]. In developed countries, HSV infection is a...
X-linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X-ALD) is the most common peroxisomal disorder. The disease is caused by mutations in the ABCD1 gene that encodes the peroxisomal membrane protein ALDP which is involved in the transmembrane transport of very long-chain fat
The leading causes are divalent metal transporter 1 (DMT1) deficiency, aceruloplasminemia, atransferrinemia, and IRIDA (Iron Refractory Iron Deficiency Anemia) syndrome. IRIDA syndrome First, reduced iron availability can be caused by reduced intestinal iron absorption, as in IRIDA syndrome. In this...
This may imply that patients with certain risk factors (i.e., ApoE4, APP) may be more susceptible to oxidative stress caused by folate deficiency. 3.3. Homocysteine and hypomethylation HHCY, folate or vitamin B12 deficiency can cause lowered SAM and elevated S-adenosyl homocysteine (SAH), the...
