Abstract:
Marker third choromosome was established in 15 patients with Balkan entemic nephropathy (BEN) by high resolutive analysis, the chromosome characterized by altered rate of band differentiation in the distal half of the long arm--shortening of the band 3q25 and faster fusion of the subbands 3q26.1 and 3q26.3, not corresponding to the stage of chromosomal contraction. The reason for the asynchronization in the band characteristic observed is admitted to be the microstructural chromosomal reconstruction--del 3q24.2.

01:17Karyotyping
Describing the number and physical features of chromosomes can reveal abnormalities that underlie genetic diseases. This description is facilitated by special staining techniques that produce a particular banding pattern on each chromosome. State-of-the-art techniques make this approach even more powerful, enabling the detection of individual genes that cause disease.A Simple Chromosome Staining Technique Provides Valuable Scientific InsightSome genetic diseases can be detected by looking at...
01:28Diabetic Nephropathy
Definition Diabetic nephropathy is a chronic kidney complication that results from prolonged hyperglycemia.Prevalence It is the most common cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) worldwide, affecting up to half of individuals with diabetes.Pathophysiology • Sustained hyperglycemia triggers multiple hemodynamic and metabolic changes in the kidney. • Early in the disease, increased renal blood flow and glomerular hyperfiltration occur due to afferent arteriolar...
