• NOD2-associated autoinflammatory disease
  10 July 2012

  NOD2-associated diseases. NAID
  Definition: NOD2 is an intracellular microbial sensor of the innate immune system that can act as a potent activator and regulator of inflammation.
  Mutations in the gene encoding NOD2 in humans have been associated with Crohn’s disease (CD), Blau syndrome (BS), and early onset sarcoidosis (EOS).
  These diseases have in common features of dysregulated inflammation, but have very distinct phenotypes, which have been hypothesized to result from either (...)

• serpinopathies
  24 January 2006

  In humans, several serpin mutations are linked to diseases.
  Serpins are vulnerable to mutations that result in protein misfolding and the formation of inactive long chain polymers (serpinopathies).
  Serpin polymerisation reduces the amount of active inhibitor, as well as accumulation of serpin polymers causing cell death and organ failure.
  For example, the serpin alpha1-antitrypsin is primarily produced in the liver, and antitrypsin polymerisation causes hepatocytic necrosis and liver (...)

• cardiac channelopathies
  18 March 2004

  In arrhythmogenic disorders, the long QT syndromes and Brugada syndrome, mutations have been described in a number of ion channel proteins, including cardiac potassium (KVLQT1, HERG and minK) and sodium (SCN5A) channels.

• translation diseases
  4 February 2006

  Definition: Pathology of RNA translation.
  The list of genetic diseases caused by mutations that affect mRNA translation is rapidly growing. Although protein synthesis is a fundamental process in all cells, the disease phenotypes show a surprising degree of heterogeneity.
  Studies of some of these diseases have provided intriguing new insights into the functions of proteins involved in the process of translation; for example, evidence suggests that several have other functions in addition (...)
