Random Electric Field Instabilities of Relaxor Ferroelectrics
(2017-06-13)
Relaxor ferroelectrics are complex oxide materials which are rather unique to study the effects of compositional disorder on phase transitions. Here, we study the effects of quenched cubic random electric fields on the ...
Parental age effects, but no evidence for an intrauterine effect in the transmission of myotonic dystrophy type 1
(European Journal of Human Genetics p.1-8, 2014-07-23)
Myotonic dystrophy type 1 (DM1) is caused by the expansion of an unstable CTG repeat (g.17294_17296(45_1000)) with more repeats associated with increased disease severity and reduced age at onset. Expanded disease-associated ...
The serotonin transporter 5-HTTPR polymorphism is associated with current and lifetime depression in persons with chronic psychotic disorders
(Acta Psychiatr Scand 2009: 119: 117–127, 2009-01-11)
Objective: Variation in the serotonin transporter gene (SLC6A4)
promoter region has been shown to influence depression in persons
who have been exposed to a number of stressful life events.
Method: We evaluated whether ...
Efectos adversos oculares de fármacos sistémicos
(2013-01)
El 4.3% de las reacciones adversas a medicamentos de uso sistémico se presentan como trastornos oculares. Aunque el síndrome del ojo seco es el efecto adverso más común y probablemente el más benigno, los fármacos de uso ...
Morpho-physiological monitoring of oil palms (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) affected by spear rots (PC).
(2015)
The morphology, growth and physiology of oil palms (Elaeis guineensis Jacq., Deli x Nigeria variety) was characterized at different stages of development of the condition known as ‘dry spear’ or FS (for ‘flecha seca’ in ...
A schizophrenia gene locus on chromosome 17q21 in a new set of families of mexican and central american ancestry: evidence from the NIMH genetics of schizophrenia in latino populations study
(Am J Psychiatry 2009;166:442-449, 2009-02-02)
The present study investigated a new set of families of Latin American ancestry in order to detect the location of genes predisposing to schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. Method: A genome-wide scan was performed ...
Trastornos del neurodesarrollo (síndrome X frágil) y neurodegenerativos (síndrome de temblor/ataxia) asociados al ‘crecimiento’ de un gen
(Revista de Neurología 40 (7) p. 431-437, 2005-04-01)
To present the latest findings on fragile X syndrome, the first genetic disorder identified to be caused by a new type of mutation called trinucleotide repeat expansion. Development. Fragile X syndrome is the most common ...
Recovery of oil palms (Elaeis guineensis Jacq.) affected by spear rots
(2015)
Spear rot or PC (for the Spanish name pudrición del cogollo), known locally in Costa Rica as ‘flecha seca’ is a disorder that affects the development, physiology and yield of the oil palm. It is associated with the ...
In vivo and in vitro genetic evidence of involvement of neuregulin 1 in immune system dysregulation
(J Mol Med (Berl). 2010 November ; 88(11): 1133–1141, 2010-11)
Neuregulin 1 (NRG1) has been implicated in several disorders including breast cancer, multiple sclerosis, and schizophrenia. Also, recent evidence suggests that NRG1 may play a role in regulation of inflammation and immune ...
