Primary Hemochromatosis is an autosomal recessive genetic disease, meaning a child must inherit a mutated HFE gene from both parents to develop the disease. (wikibooks.org)
There are a number of other gene mutations that cause symptoms similar to Primary Hemochromatosis known as non-HFE Hemochromatosis. (wikibooks.org)
This research examined that gene, which is one of four primary genes that help control the biological clock in many animals -- the rhythms that are related to the cycle of day and night, and can be disrupted by anything from inadequate sleep to jet lag or working the swing shift. (sciencedaily.com)
In the Guidelines for the Diagnosis and Treatment of Primary liver Cancer issued by China's Health Commission, XYXD was applied in the treatment of primary liver cancer. (bvsalud.org)

Interestingly, there are two versions of this mutant gene, and athletes with both have been found to perform consistently better than their conventionally chromosomed counterparts. (listverse.com)
More than 100 mutations in the ABCB11 gene have been found to cause a severe form of liver disease called progressive familial intrahepatic cholestasis type 2 (PFIC2) that usually leads to liver failure. (medlineplus.gov)
A common variation (polymorphism) in the ABCB11 gene is found more often in women who develop this condition than women who do not. (medlineplus.gov)
These genes have been found to be either malfunctioning or non-functioning in many different kinds of cancer. (cancerquest.org)
We report 8 patients from 7 Jordanian families, 6 of whom underwent genetic testing and were found to have a 12 bp (155-166 del) deletion within the tubulin-specific chaperone E (TBCE gene) in exon 3 at 1q42-43. (who.int)

To implement effective RNAi against A. flavus requires identification of suitable gene target/s that are critical for fungal growth and aflatoxin production. (usda.gov)

The boxed warning emphasizes the risk for severe liver injury and acute liver failure, which may be fatal. (medscape.com)

The larger the gene name, the more frequently that gene is defective in that cancer type. (cancerquest.org)
We have two copies of each gene and for oncogenes, a single defective copy is enough to cause a cell to divide. (cancerquest.org)
As stated in the introduction to this section, the defective versions of these genes, known as oncogenes, can cause a cell to divide in an unregulated manner. (cancerquest.org)
This is in contrast with tumor suppressor genes which must BOTH be defective to lead to abnormal cell division. (cancerquest.org)

Between 1998 and 2000, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has recommended withdrawal of 2 drugs from the market for causing severe liver injury: bromfenac and troglitazone. (medscape.com)
In the last few years, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has withdrawn 2 drugs from the market for causing severe liver injury: bromfenac and troglitazone. (medscape.com)

Drugs are an important cause of liver injury. (medscape.com)

A mouse gene of the paired-related homeobox class expressed in the caudal somite compartment and in the developing vertebral column, kidney and nervous system. (nih.gov)

The resulting buildup of bile salts in the liver leads to the signs and symptoms of BRIC2. (medlineplus.gov)

Whole subfields of research have grown up around biologists' attempts to understand the relationships among the core genes involved in aging, which seem to connect highly disparate biological functions, like metabolism and perception. (quantamagazine.org)
The ∼30 Mb genomes of the Plasmodium parasites that cause malaria each encode ∼5000 genes, but the functions of the majority remain unknown. (portlandpress.com)

These insights allow further understandings of the structural basis of thiopurine intolerance in patients carrying these NUDT15 mutants and will support the prediction of new NUDT15 mutants' effects in clinical treatments. (lu.se)
