Mammalian target of rapamycin pathway mutations cause hemimegalencephaly and focal cortical dysplasia

Biology
1 answer:
GuDViN [60]1 year ago
5 0

Yes, it is true that Mammalian target of rapamycin pathway mutations cause hemimegalencephaly and focal cortical dysplasia.

Focal malformations of cortical development, including focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) and hemimegalencephaly (HME), are important causes of intractable childhood epilepsy.

Using targeted and exome sequencing on DNA from resected brain samples and non-brain samples from 53 patients with FCD or HME, we identified pathogenic germline and mosaic mutations in multiple PI3K/AKT pathway genes in 9 patients, and a likely pathogenic variant in 1 additional patient.

Our data confirm the association of DEPDC5 with sporadic FCD but also implicate this gene for the first time in HME. Our findings suggest that modulation of the mammalian target of rapamycin pathway may hold promise for malformation-associated epilepsy.

Consider the cell cycle; which stage takes pretty much the same amount of time regardless of cell type? Explain
Natalija [7]

Answer:

The correct answer would be mitosis or M phase.

Mitosis or M phase is the phase of the cell cycle during which the actual division of the cell takes place that is, the division of nuclear content. It is also termed as karyokinesis.

It is primarily divided into four stages:

  • Prophase
  • Metaphase
  • Anaphase
  • Telophase.

It results in the equal distribution of  chromosomes into two daughter cells.

It is followed by cytokinesis by which cytoplasmic content is equally divided into the two daughter cells.
