We found mutations in the gene PQBP1 in 5 of 29 families with nonsyndromic (MRX) and syndromic (MRXS) forms of X-linked mental retardation (XLMR). Clinical features in affected males include mental retardation, microcephaly, short stature, spastic paraplegia and midline defects. PQBP1 has previously been implicated in the pathogenesis of polyglutamine expansion diseases. Our findings link this gene to XLMR and shed more light on the pathogenesis of this common disorder. 相似文献

Among the different types of cognitive impairment that appear with increasing age, Alzheimer's disease (AD) is rated as the most frequent. Despite intensive research, key questions concerning AD aetiology remain elusive, but it appears that many biochemical events crucial for neuronal communication and synaptic plasticity fail during the course of the disease. The aim of this review is therefore to provide an overview of intracellular cascades involved in AD pathology. For almost all factors. it is a matter of controversy whether their contribution should be considered to be cause or effect. However, intracellular signalling may be crucial as it is in learning and memory mechanisms and malfunction of biochemical pathways may be a common denominator in neurodegenerative processes, thus providing new venues for treatment and therapeutic strategies. 相似文献
