Wang, Jian, Burnett, John R., Near, Susan, Young, T. Kue, Zinman, Bernard, Hanley, Anthony J. G., Connelly, Philip W., Harris, Stewart B., Hegele, Robert A.
"Mutations in ABCA1, a member of the ATP-binding cassette family, have been shown to underlie Tangier disease (TD) and familial hypoalphalipoproteinemia (FHA), which are genetic disorders that are characterized by depressed concentrations of plasma high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. An...

Lahiry, Piya, Ban, Matthew R., Pollex, Rebecca L., Sawyez, Cynthia G., Huff, Murray W., Young, T. Kue, Bjerregaard, Peter, Hegele, Robert A.
"Objectives: We undertook studies of the association between common genomic variations in APOC3, APOA5, APOE and PON1 genes and variation in biochemical phenotypes in a sample of Greenlanders. Study Design: Genetic association study of quantitative lipoprotein traits. Methods: In a sample of...

Nair, Sindhu G., Loppnow, Glen R.
It has been well established that mutations in K-Ras and N-Ras proto-oncogenes can convert them into active oncogenes. Current molecular cancer research has been focused on determining the key steps by which cellular genes become oncogenes and not on the underlying and fundamental chemical damage...

Epilepsy is among the most common neurological diseases, but approximately 30% of epileptics are unresponsive to available drugs, and many more suffer significant side effects. One reason for the persisting large fraction of drug-resistant or drug-intolerant patients may be that most drug...

An individual’s body weight is tightly regulated by balancing food intake with energy expenditure. This is accomplished in part by secretion of the hormone leptin by adipocytes, an excess of which signals to reduce appetite and increase activity through action in the hypothalamic region of the...

Temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) and idiopathic generalized epilepsy (IGE) are two common epilepsy syndromes. TLE is a type of focal epilepsy. It is frequently associated with mesial temporal sclerosis (MTS), a condition that is also medically intractable. Although TLE is characterized by a focal...

Electrophysiological and Genetic Aspects of Age-Related Macular Degeneration (AMD): Treatment Implications
DownloadFall 2014
Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is considered a heterogeneous group of disorders. Although many genes influence susceptibility to disease, none has shown to be the primary contributor. To identify genetic contributors, distinct AMD phenotypes need to be established. We relied on...

Pulses of ecdysone, a steroid hormone, play an integral role during insect development however, how these ecdysone pulses are regulated has been relatively unexplored. I have shown that the presence of nitric oxide (NO) within the larval prothoracic gland (PG), the principal source of larval...

Low maternal, gestational weight gain is associated with preterm birth, intrauterine growth restriction, low birthweight, small-for-gestational-age infants, neural tube defects, infant death, failure to initiate breastfeeding, and childhood asthma. The advantage of qualitative research is it can...
