Protein Families02:47

Protein Families

17.2K
Protein families are groups of homologous proteins; that is, they have similarities in amino acid sequences and three-dimensional structures. Protein families usually occur because of gene duplication, where an additional copy of a gene is inserted into the genome of an organism.   Mutations that change the amino acids but still allow the protein to be properly synthesized, will lead to new protein family members.   If these new proteins contain similar amino acids in key...

Gene Families

10.0K
Gene families consist of groups of genes proposed to have originated from a common ancestor. Typically these arise through events in which a gene or genes are mistakenly duplicated during cell division. Unlike their parent genes (which are subject to selection pressure to maintain function), these gene copies do not need to preserve their sequences and may evolve at a relatively faster rate.
Occasionally these regions can be adapted to take on new roles within the organism, becoming novel genes...

Family Therapy

613
Family therapy conceptualizes psychological challenges as arising from dysfunctional interactions within the family unit, rather than as isolated issues within individuals. This approach seeks to address and transform the patterns of communication, roles, and relationships within families to promote healthier dynamics and emotional well-being for all members.

Sources of Self-Esteem I: Family Experience

197
Self-esteem, a crucial component of psychological development, is significantly shaped by familial experiences. The early parent-child relationship serves as a foundational influence on a child's self-concept, with long-lasting effects extending into adolescence and adulthood.Parental Behaviors and Early Self-Esteem FormationEmpirical studies have identified four principal parental behaviors that foster healthy self-esteem in children. These include expressions of acceptance, affection, and...

Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Genetics
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) has a significant genetic component.
  • Understanding the genetic underpinnings of ADHD requires identifying specific cognitive endophenotypes.
  • Previous research has explored cognitive deficits in ADHD, but genetic links require further investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the genetics of neuropsychological task performance in families with ADHD.
  • To identify cognitive endophenotypes associated with ADHD in a Caribbean population.
  • To develop a predictive model for ADHD diagnosis based on identified endophenotypes.

Main Methods:

  • Recruited and clinically characterized 408 individuals from nuclear families with ADHD.
  • Administered an extensive battery of neuropsychological tasks.
  • Estimated heritability of cognitive tasks and developed a predictive ADHD diagnostic model.

Main Results:

  • Individuals with ADHD showed significant differences in tasks measuring mental control, visuospatial ability, visuoverbal memory, fluency, cognitive flexibility, and cognitive ability.
  • Tasks of mental control, visuoverbal memory, phonological fluency, semantic verbal fluency, and intelligence demonstrated significant heritability.
  • A predictive model using these endophenotypes achieved classification, sensitivity, specificity, and precision rates exceeding 80%.

Conclusions:

  • Identified novel cognitive endophenotypes for ADHD.
  • These endophenotypes are suitable for assessing the neurobiological and genetic basis of ADHD.
  • The findings support the use of specific cognitive tasks in understanding ADHD etiology and diagnosis.
