Protein Families02:47

Protein Families

16.8K
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 Families01:57

Gene Families

9.9K
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 Therapy01:30

Family Therapy

566
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.

Strategic family therapy emphasizes resolving communication barriers and improving problem-solving abilities...

Self-Concept01:19

Self-Concept

1.6K
Self-concept is the cognitive and emotional understanding individuals hold about their identity. It evolves through various developmental stages, beginning in infancy and maturing as children grow. This concept influences how individuals perceive their abilities, interact with others, and manage challenges throughout life.
Infancy and Emerging Recognition
During infancy, self-concept is virtually nonexistent. Babies do not distinguish themselves as separate entities and often mistake their...

Summary

Familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) is challenging to study. New research identified germline GCM2 mutations in 17% of FIHP cases, highlighting the need for further characterization.

Area of Science:

  • Endocrinology
  • Genetics
  • Oncology

Background:

  • Familial isolated hyperparathyroidism (FIHP) is primary hyperparathyroidism (FH) without other syndrome features.
  • FIHP is difficult to study due to small family groups and mild symptoms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To explore new concepts of FIHP within its definition.
  • To identify genetic mutations associated with FIHP.
  • To characterize clinical and mutational components of FIHP.

Main Methods:

  • PubMed searches for FIHP, FH syndromes, and associated gene mutations.
  • Analysis of clinical and mutational data from FIHP kindreds.

Main Results:

  • FIHP can involve incomplete forms of MEN1, familial hypocalciuric hypercalcemia, or HJT syndromes.
  • 17% of FIHP kindreds studied had germline activating GCM2 mutations.
  • FIHP kindreds, with or without GCM2 mutations, typically involve only two primary hyperparathyroidism cases, possibly due to low screening rates.

Conclusions:

  • Current FIHP concepts focus on kindreds without MEN1, CASR, or CDC73 mutations.
  • Germline activating GCM2 mutations were identified in 17% of FIHP kindreds.
  • More research is needed to determine unique clinical features of FIHP, with or without GCM2 mutations.
