概括
循环中的MKRN3蛋白水平无法预测中部早期青春期 (CPP) 患者的MKRN3基因突变,尽管在MKRN3突变载体中观察到的基因突变水平较异常性CPP低. 测试变异性使得无法建立可靠的诊断截止点.
科学领域:
- 内分泌学 在内分泌学.
- 遗传学 是一个遗传学.
- 儿科内分泌学 儿科内分泌学
背景情况:
- MKRN3基因的突变是中部早发性青春期 (CPP) 的主要原因.
- 循环中的MKRN3蛋白水平是可测量的,并且已在异常性CPP和健康对照中进行研究.
- 已知MKRN3突变患者的MKRN3蛋白水平的数据以前没有.
研究的目的:
- 在CPP患者中选MKRN3突变.
- 调查循环MKRN3蛋白水平是否可以作为查工具来识别CPP患者MKRN3突变.
主要方法:
- 在140名患有CPP的女孩身上进行了MKRN3突变分析.
- 患者被分为异常性CPP (iCPP) 和MKRN3突变相关的CPP (MKRN3-CPP) 组.
- 在MKRN3-CPP患者和iCPP患者的一个子集中使用ELISA测量血清MKRN3水平.
主要成果:
- 确定了5名MKRN3突变的患者,其中包括一个新突变 (p.Gln352Arg).
- 与iCPP患者相比,MKRN3-CPP患者的循环MKRN3水平显著降低 (p < 0.001).
- 在各个突变类型中,MKRN3水平显著变化,在某些情况下,水平无法检测.
结论:
- 循环中的MKRN3水平不足以预测CPP患者MKRN3基因缺陷.
- 虽然MKRN3突变携带者表现出较低的蛋白质水平比ICPP患者,显著的个体间变异性和缺乏参考值排除建立诊断断断.

mTOR Signaling and Cancer Progression
3.8K
The mammalian target of rapamycin or mTOR protein was discovered in 1994 due to its direct interaction with rapamycin. The protein gets its name from a yeast homolog called TOR. The mTOR protein complex in mammalian cells plays a major role in balancing anabolic processes such as the synthesis of proteins, lipids, and nucleotides and catabolic processes, such as autophagy in response to environmental cues, such as availability of nutrients and growth factors.

Abnormal Proliferation
4.5K
Under normal conditions, most adult cells remain in a non-proliferative state unless stimulated by internal or external factors to replace lost cells. Abnormal cell proliferation is a condition in which the cell's growth exceeds and is uncoordinated with normal cells. In such situations, cell division persists in the same excessive manner even after cessation of the stimuli, leading to persistent tumors. The tumor arises from the damaged cells that replicate to pass the damage to the...

Signs of Puberty
362
Puberty is a critical phase, typically beginning between the ages of 8 and 13 in girls and 9 and 14 in boys, though timing can vary based on genetics, environmental factors, and overall health. This period is characterized by the development of secondary sexual characteristics and the attainment of reproductive potential. Endocrine changes underpin puberty, with hormonal surges of Luteinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle-Stimulating Hormone (FSH) instigated by Gonadotropin-Releasing Hormone (GnRH)...
