IN VIVO SCREENING REVEALS INTERACTIONS BETWEEN DROSOPHILA MANF AND GENES INVOLVED IN THE MITOCHONDRIA AND THE UBIQUINONE SYNTHESIS PATHWAY

In vivo screening reveals interactions between Drosophila Manf and genes involved in the mitochondria and the ubiquinone synthesis pathway

Abstract Background Mesencephalic Astrocyte-derived Neurotrophic Factor (MANF) and Cerebral Dopamine Neurotrophic Factor (CDNF) form an evolutionarily conserved family of neurotrophic factors.Orthologues for MANF/CDNF are the only neurotrophic factors as yet identified in invertebrates with conserved amino acid sequence.Previous studies indicate th

Germline Genetic Susceptibility Testing Among Emirati Nationals at Risk for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome

PURPOSEBreast cancer among Emirati patients is characterized by early-onset disease and later stages at presentation.Little is known about the germline genetic variants that may contribute to these observations.The goal of this study is to characterize the rate and implications of germline genetic variants among a cohort of Emirati patients at risk
