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

Biology

GuDViN [60]1 year ago

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.

Is the Earth dying? if so answer, and put the reason's why Earth is dying and what we can do to help Earth stop dying.
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

Earth has been our place for many years. all inhabitants on earth are causing great destruction. along the way we tried to resolve issues yet some we couldn't figure out. the one we couldn't figure out had made a great impact on our world today. Just how do we stop it? Many ways actually, taking pollution for example. pollution is a great cause for why earth isn't as lively as before. along the years we've polluted 92% of the earths air. causing us to breathe unhealthy air. We can easily fix this problem with finding new ways to get somewhere like riding a bike or taking an energy efficient car. Therefore, we humans have change the world dramatically by doing good things and bad things, too. but in the end we are the ones causing earth to nearly give up, so we can also be the ones to let the earth forgive.

hope this helps you out!

TIP: change it up so you don't do plagiarism:)
