Neurological features of Fabry disease: clinical, pathophysiological aspects and therapy

Fabry disease is a multisystem, X‐linked, lysosomal storage disorder caused by a mutation in the GLA gene on chromosome Xq22 resulting in alpha‐galactosidase A enzyme (α‐Gal A) deficiency. Neurological manifestations other than cerebrovascular accidents include small fibre neuropathy and dysautonomic disorders, which may be the presenting clinical features in a proportion of patients. An atypical disease onset may be misdiagnosed until the emergence of a more typical clinical picture, characterized by chronic renal and cardiac failure. Thus, neurologists should consider Fabry disease in differential diagnosis and provide an appropriate diagnostic work up. This review focuses on central and peripheral nervous system involving available diagnostic tools and diagnostic work up in Fabry disease. It also covers the most recent evidence regarding enzyme replacement therapy.

Cancer risks for MLH1 and MSH2 mutation carriers

ABSTRACT We studied 17,576 members of 166 MLH1 and 224 MSH2 mutation‐carrying families from the Colon Cancer Family Registry. Average cumulative risks of colorectal cancer (CRC), endometrial cancer (EC) and other cancers for carriers were estimated using modified segregation analysis co ... mehr

Dietary flavonoid genistein induces Nrf2 and phase II detoxification gene expression via ERKs and PKC pathways and protects against oxidative stress in Caco‐2 cells

Scope Flavonoids have well‐known antioxidant, anti‐inflammatory, and anti‐cancer activities. Isoflavone genistein is considered a potent antioxidant agent against oxidative stress. Although several mechanisms have been proposed, a clear antioxidant mechanism of genistein is still remain ... mehr

UVB‐Induced Inflammatory Cytokine Release, DNA Damage and Apoptosis of Human Oral Compared to Skin Tissue Equivalents

Abstract People can get oral cancers from UV (290‐400 nm) exposures. Besides high outdoor UV exposures, high indoor UV exposures to oral tissues can occur when consumers use UV‐emitting tanning devices to either tan or whiten their teeth. We compared the carcinogenic risks of skin to or ... mehr
