iPS Cell Differentiation

3.3K
The ability of induced pluripotent stem cells or iPSCs to differentiate into most body cell types has stimulated repair and regenerative medicine research over the past few decades. iPSC-derived blood cells, hepatocytes, beta islet cells, cardiomyocytes, neurons, and other cell types can repair injuries or regenerate damaged tissue in diseases such as diabetes and neurodegenerative disorders.

Incomplete Dominance

32.2K
Gregor Mendel's work (1822 - 1884) was primarily focused on pea plants. Through his initial experiments, he determined that every gene in a diploid cell has two variants called alleles inherited from each parent. He suggested that amongst these two alleles, one allele is dominant in character and the other recessive. The combination of alleles determines the phenotype of a gene in an organism.

Animal Mitochondrial Genetics

10.0K
Among all the organelles in an animal cell, only mitochondria have their own independent genomes. Animal mitochondrial DNA is a double-stranded, closed-circular molecule with around 20,000 base pairs. Mitochondrial DNA is unique in that one of its two strands, the heavy, or H, -strand is guanine rich, whereas the complementary strand is cytosine rich and called the light, or L, -strand. Compared to nuclear DNA, mitochondrial DNA has a very low percentage of non-coding regions and is marked by...

Human Genetics

Human genetics provides a profound framework for understanding the interplay between genetic predispositions and human psychology. At the heart of this discipline lies the study of how genes influence physical traits, behaviors, and susceptibility to diseases. Each person carries a unique genetic code that subtly or significantly shapes their psychological and behavioral landscape.
The complex relationship between genetics and psychology is observable through common biological components such...

Principles of Pharmacogenetics: Types of Genetic Variants

79
The human genome is over 99.9% identical between individuals, yet genetic differences exist at millions of bases. The human genome contains approximately 3 million variant positions per individual, many of which are heterozygous, contributing to genetic diversity and individual traits. Genetic variations include single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), insertions, deletions, and copy number variations (CNVs).SNPs, the most common variation, involve single-base changes in DNA. These can be...

Area of Science:

  • Ophthalmology
  • Genetics
  • Biomarkers

Background:

  • Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is characterized by drusen deposition, similar to Alzheimer's disease pathology.
  • Advancing age involves cellular, molecular, and physiological changes contributing to AMD.
  • Identifying genetic and biomarker roles is crucial for understanding AMD progression.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the deleterious effects of candidate genes and biomarkers in Indian AMD patients.
  • To explore gene-gene interactions and their impact on AMD phenotypes.
  • To assess the significance of genetic research and risk factor associations in the Indian population.

Main Methods:

  • Reviewing candidate genes and biomarkers associated with AMD progression.
  • Analyzing the potential deleterious effects of single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), including non-synonymous SNPs (nsSNPs).
  • Proposing statistical modeling, Mendelian randomization, and bioinformatics tools for genetic analysis.

Main Results:

  • Drusen deposition is a key feature in AMD, analogous to Alzheimer's disease aggregates.
  • Numerous SNPs, including nsSNPs, are identified with potential deleterious effects on protein function.
  • Genotyping and protein expression levels are proposed to elucidate AMD's genetic complexity.

Conclusions:

  • Understanding gene-gene and gene-biomarker interactions is vital for Indian AMD patients.
  • Predicting the biological effects of nsSNPs can offer genetic insights into diverse AMD phenotypes.
  • Longitudinal studies on Indian AMD patients are recommended to evaluate temporal effects of SNPs and biomarkers.
