Download or read book Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes written by Adrian Danek and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-07-09 with total page 285 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Neuroacanthocytosis Syndromes is the first comprehensive review of a field that has not yet received the attention it deserves. Affecting the brain as well as the circulating red cells, these multi-system disorders in the past had often been mistaken for Huntington's disease. Recent breakthroughs have now identified the molecular basis of several of these. This volume grew out of the first international scientific meeting ever devoted to neuroacanthocytosis and provides in-depth information about the state of the art. Its thirty chapters were written by the leading authorities in the field to cover the clinical as well as the basic science perspective, including not only molecular genetics but also experimental pharmacology and cell membrane biology, among others. The book vehemently poses the question of how the membrane deformation of circulating red blood cells relates to degeneration of nerve cells in the brain, the basal ganglia, in particular. It provides a wealth of data that will help to solve an intriguing puzzle and ease the suffering of those affected by one of the neuroacanthocytosis syndromes.

Download or read book Charcot Marie Tooth Disorders written by Michael E. Shy and published by . This book was released on 1999 with total page 574 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume discusses developments in research and clinical aspects of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (CMT), the most common peripheral neuropathy in humans. The genetic causes of most of the demyelinating forms of CMT have now been identified, and the molecular biology of peripheral nervous structure and the function of many of the molecules involved in the pathogenesis of CMT are becoming clearer. With the development of viral vectors to introduce genes into the peripheral nervous system, as well as the trophic factors to promote nerve regeneration and remyelination, gene therapy for CMT is becoming a realistic possibility. These issues, among others, are explored in this volume, and areas of future research are outlined.
