Nuclear Loci

Genetic analysis of nuclear-cytoplasm incompatibilities is not straightforward and requires an elaborated experimental design. A number of species have been genetically studied, but notable advances in genetic mapping of nuclear loci involved in nuclear-plastid incompatibility have been achieved only in wheat and pea. This review focuses on the study of the genetic background underlying nuclear-plastid incompatibilities, including cases where the molecular genetic basis of such incompatibility has been unveiled, such as in tobacco, Oenothera, pea, and wheat.

Molecular Genetic Basis

Thyroid cancer, a cancerous tumor or growth located within the thyroid gland, is the most common endocrine cancer. It is one of the few cancers whereby incidence rates have increased in recent years. It occurs in all age groups, from children through to seniors. Most studies are focused on dissecting its genetic basis, since our current knowledge of the genetic background of the different forms of thyroid cancer is far from complete, which poses a challenge for diagnosis and prognosis of the disease. In this review, we describe prevailing advances and update our understanding of the molecular genetics of thyroid cancer, focusing on the main genes related with the pathology, including the different noncoding RNAs associated with the disease.

Functional Hyperandrogenism

The genetic mechanisms underlying functional hyperandrogenism and the polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) remain largely unknown. Given the large number of genetic variants found in association with these disorders, the emerging picture is that of a complex multigenic trait in which environmental influences play an important role in the expression of the hyperandrogenic phenotype. Among others, genomic variants in genes related to the regulation of androgen biosynthesis and function, insulin resistance, and the metabolic syndrome, and proinflammatory genotypes may be involved in the genetic predisposition to functional hyperandrogenism and PCOS. The elucidation of the molecular genetic basis of these disorders has been burdened by the heterogeneity in the diagnostic criteria used to define PCOS, the limited sample size of the studies conducted to date, and the lack of precision in the identification of ethnic and environmental factors that trigger the development of hyperandrogenic disorders. Progress in this area requires adequately sized multicenter collaborative studies after standardization of the diagnostic criteria used to classify hyperandrogenic patients, in whom modifying environmental factors such as ethnicity, diet, and lifestyle are identified with precision. In addition to classic molecular genetic techniques such as linkage analysis in the form of a whole-genome scan and large case-control studies, promising genomic and proteomic approaches will be paramount to our understanding of the pathogenesis of functional hyperandrogenism and PCOS, allowing a more precise prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of these prevalent disorders.

Статья посвящена обсуждению подходов к классификации и обзору доступных литературных данных о клинической вариабельности и молекулярно-генетических основах патогенеза редкого наследственного заболевания - синдрома Элерса-Данло. Представленный обзор расширит представление о патогенезе и позволит оптимизировать диагностику данного синдрома, определить тактику лечения и медико-генетического консультирования отягощенных семей как клиническим генетикам, специалистам в области изучения орфанных заболеваний, так и врачам терапевтам, специалистам семейной медицины и общей врачебной практики. The article is devoted to the discussion of approaches to the classification and review of the available literature data on clinical variability and the molecular genetic basis of the pathogenesis of a rare hereditary disease - Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. The presented review will expand the understanding of the pathogenesis and allow to optimize the diagnosis of this syndrome, to determine the tactics of treatment and medical and genetic counseling of burdened families, both to clinical geneticists, specialists in the study of orphan diseases, and to general practitioners, specialists in family medicine and general medical practice.
