[Oxalate lithiasis associated bith abetalipoproteinemia. Report of a case]
Abstract:
A case of oxalate lithiasis associated with Abetalipoproteinemia is reported. The excessive absorption of dietary oxalate in this patient with fat malabsorption occurs because unabsorbed fatty acids in the bowel lumen combine with calcium ions which would otherwise impair oxalate absorption by forming insoluble calcium oxalate crystals. The medical management include dietary fat restriction and supplements of the fat soluble vitamins A, E and K. The prognostic is poor particularly in the neurological and retinal component of this disease.

Lethal Alleles
Lucien Cuénot discovered lethal alleles in 1905 while studying the inheritance of coat color in mice. The agouti gene is responsible for the color of the coat in mice. This gene codes for an agouti-signaling protein, which is responsible for melanin distribution in mammals. The wild-type allele gives rise to gray-brown coat color in mice, while the mutant allele gives rise to yellow coat color. In addition to coat color, the agouti gene is associated with the yellow...
Glucose Transporters
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction
Urinary Tract Calculi I: Introduction
Jaundice
Cholecystitis
