Abstract:
Mutations in the GBA and SMPD1 genes, which lead to the development of lysosomal storage diseases, are high risk factors for Parkinson's disease and dementia with Lewy bodies. We screened the mutations in the GALC and CLN3 genes in patients with Parkinson's disease and control subjects. A heterozygous CLN3 mutation (del 1.02 kb) carrier with clinical features of the unusual extrapyramidal syndrome was identified. A role of CLN3 mutations in the development of neurodegenerative disorders is discussed.

02:26Comparing Copy Number Variations and SNPs
Copy number variations or CNVs are the structural variations that cover more than 1kb of DNA sequence. The single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), on the other hand, is a single nucleotide change or a point mutation that is found in more than 1%...
01:31Translation
Translation is the process of synthesizing proteins from the genetic information carried by messenger RNA (mRNA). Following transcription, it constitutes the final step in the expression of genes. This process is carried out by ribosomes, complexes of protein and specialized RNA molecules. Ribosomes, transfer RNA (tRNA), and other proteins produce a chain of amino acids—the polypeptide—as the end product of translation.
