Genetic studiesaim to improve the prediction of disorders by identifying and understanding how genes and illnesses may be related. Research in this area may explore ways in which a person’s genes make him or her more or less likely to develop a disorder. This may lead to development of tail...

(Depression tends to run in families, suggesting the condition has a genetic component, per the U.S. National Library of Medicine.) Your primary care doctor may also order lab tests to rule out other health conditions that can mimic depression’s effects. For example, thyroid disorders can ...
Proteins are very important molecules and are sometimes referred to as the substances of life. The Central Dogma describes the flow of genetic material to their product protein. One gene of DNA forms one molecule of mRNA by transcription and this molecule of mRNA is translated to protein through...
the mechanisms of drug response are highly complex for most agents. Therefore, assessment of genetic drivers alone may not adequately translate into accurate prediction of therapy effectiveness. With few exceptions, recent trials attempting to select therapy based on molecular target identification have no...
The number of melanocytes and melanosomes (cellular structures that contain melanin pigment) is normal in number and appearance. Although occasionally lentigines are part of a certain rare genetic syndrome, for the most part, they are just isolated and unimportant spots. What are "liver spots" ...
These symptoms respond well to the dopaminergic therapy, however complications such as dyskinesia and dystonia are often observed after 5-10 years of treatment. The majority of all PD cases are sporadic suggesting a multifactorial etiology based on environmental and genetic factors. However, 5 to 15...
thanks to advances in the understanding of human genetic structure. Such classification schemes havefacilitateddecisions regarding course of treatment and the development of treatments that target specific genetic defects. The development of targeted agents has permitted the prescribing of more-effective and...
successfully work and function and in which the individual can both withstand and learn to cope with the conflicts and stresses encountered in life. A more generally useful definition ascribes mental disorder to psychological, social, biochemical, or genetic dysfunctions or disturbances in the ...
These ulcerations are thought to be caused by local injury, stress, or genetic predisposition; however, no definitive cause has been found. Canker sores can appear as painful sores on the side of the tongue, along with blisters on the tongue. No treatment is usually necessary as these ulce...
