|August 6, 1987
Resumen
Los investigadores identificaron el gen vinculado a la neoplasia endocrina múltiple tipo 2A (MEN2A), un síndrome de cáncer hereditario. Este hallazgo avanza en la comprensión de la base genética de MEN2A, ayudando en la detección temprana y el manejo.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Genética La genética.
- Oncología Oncología.
- Endocrinología Endocrinología.
Sus antecedentes:
- La neoplasia endocrina múltiple tipo 2A (MEN2A) es un síndrome de cáncer hereditario.
- MEN2A se caracteriza por el carcinoma medular de la tiroides, el fagocromocitoma y el hiperparatiroidismo.
- El gen específico responsable de MEN2A ha permanecido elusivo.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Identificar el locus genético que predispone a las personas a la neoplasia endocrina múltiple tipo 2A (MEN2A).
- Para establecer vínculos entre el gen MEN2A y los marcadores genéticos conocidos.
Principales métodos:
- Utilizó análisis de enlaces con sondas de ADN.
- Investigó la relación entre el locus MEN2A y el gen de la proteína intersticial de unión al retinol (IRBP) en el cromosoma 10.
- Se han confirmado los datos preliminares de vinculación de Simpson et al.
Principales resultados:
- Se ha establecido un vínculo entre el locus MEN2A y el gen de la proteína intersticial de unión al retinol.
- Localizó el gen MEN2A en el cromosoma 10p11.2-q11.2.2.
- Confirmó la base genética de MEN2A.
Conclusiones:
- El gen de la proteína de unión al retinol intersticial se encuentra cerca del locus MEN2A en el cromosoma 10.
- Esta vinculación proporciona un paso crucial hacia la identificación del gen específico responsable de MEN2A.
- Facilita la mejora de la detección genética y la comprensión de la patogénesis MEN2A.

02:39lncRNA - Long Non-coding RNAs
In humans, more than 80% of the genome gets transcribed. However, only around 2% of the genome codes for proteins. The remaining part produces non-coding RNAs which includes ribosomal RNAs, transfer RNAs, telomerase RNAs, and regulatory RNAs, among other types. A large number of regulatory non-coding RNAs have been classified into two groups depending upon their length – small non-coding RNAs, such as microRNA, which are less than 200 nucleotides in length, and long non-coding RNA (lncRNA)...
01:33Cancer-Critical Genes I: Proto-oncogenes
Genes usually encode proteins necessary for the proper functioning of a healthy cell. Mutations can often cause changes to the gene expression pattern, thereby altering the phenotype.
When the function of certain critical genes, especially those involved in cell cycle regulation and cell growth signaling cascades, gets disrupted, it upsets the cell cycle progression. Such cells with unchecked cell cycles start proliferating uncontrollably and eventually develop into tumors.
