31. Neuromuscular disorders in childhood. Epidemiology and characterization of a new myopathy
Sammanfattning : Neuromuscular disorders can be subdivided into anterior horn cell disorders, neuropathies, myasthenic disorders and myopathies. Some multisystem disorders, such as myotonic dystrophy and mitochondrial encephalomyopathies, are traditionally also included. LÄS MER
32. Factors influencing outcome in patients with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy - Effects of pharmacotherapy, pacing and surgical myectomy
Sammanfattning : Background: Most studies on risk factors for disease-related mortality in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) have emanated from specialized tertiary centres which are subject to possible referral bias. About one quarter of HCM-patients have outflow obstruction in the left ventricle, hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM). LÄS MER
33. Genomic instability and genetic heterogeneity in neuroblastoma tumours
Sammanfattning : Neuroblastoma (NB), a tumour of the sympathetic nervous system and the most common malignant disease of early childhood, is responsible for 9% of paediatric cancer related deaths. Aggressive NB still constitutes a major clinical problem with survival rates of about 35%. LÄS MER
34. THE ANDROGEN RECEPTOR GGN POLYMORPHISM. Genetic and functional analyses
Sammanfattning : Male sex development and reproductive function is regulated by androgens acting via the androgen receptor (AR). The AR harbours two polymorphic repeats of CAG and GGN triplets, encoding glutamines and glycines, respectively. LÄS MER
35. Foxf2 and Foxc2, two transcription factors that regulate adipocyte metabolism
Sammanfattning : Type 2 diabetes is the most common metabolic disorder today and has reached epidemic proportions in many countries. Diet-induced insulin resistance plays a central role in the development of type 2 diabetes. LÄS MER
