Neurofibromatosis Type 1: Molecular and Cellular Biology by Meena Upadhyaya (Eng

Description: Neurofibromatosis Type 1 by Meena Upadhyaya, David N. Cooper This book presents in comprehensive detail the current state of knowledge of the molecular genetics, molecular biology and cellular biology of NF1, one of the most common dominantly inherited human disorders, which affects 1 in 3000 individuals worldwide. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), caused by mutational inactivation of the NF1 tumour suppressor gene, is one of the most common dominantly inherited human disorders, affecting 1 in 3000 individuals worldwide. This book presents in concise fashion, but as comprehensively as possible, our current state of knowledge on the molecular genetics, molecular biology and cellular biology of this tumour predisposition syndrome. Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, the 44 chapters that constitute this edited volume provide the reader with a broad overview of the clinical features of the disease, the structure and expression of the NF1 gene, its germ line and somatic mutational spectra and genotype-phenotype relationships, the structure and function of its protein product (neurofibromin), NF1 modifying loci, the molecular pathology of NF1-associated tumours, animal models of the disease, psycho-social aspects and future prospects for therapeutic treatment.

Long Description Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1), caused by mutational inactivation of the "NF1" tumour suppressor gene, is one of the most common dominantly inherited human disorders, affecting 1 in 3000 individuals worldwide. This book presents in concise fashion, but as comprehensively as possible, our current state of knowledge on the molecular genetics, molecular biology and cellular biology of this tumour predisposition syndrome. Written by internationally recognized experts in the field, the 44 chapters that constitute this edited volume provide the reader with a broad overview of the clinical features of the disease, the structure and expression of the "NF1" gene, its germ line and somatic mutational spectra and genotype-phenotype relationships, the structure and function of its protein product (neurofibromin), NF1 modifying loci, the molecular pathology of NF1-associated tumours, animal models of the disease, psycho-social aspects and future prospects for therapeutic treatment. Feature Represents the most comprehensive and up to date account of this common neuroectodermal disorder An outstanding panel of scientists and clinicians covering all aspects of NF1 biology Lessons learned from the molecular biology of NF1 tumorigenesis can be extrapolated to many other cancers Details ISBN366250717X Short Title NEUROFIBROMATOSIS TYPE 1 Language English ISBN-10 366250717X ISBN-13 9783662507179 Media Book Format Paperback DEWEY 599.935 Year 2016 Subtitle Molecular and Cellular Biology Edited by David N Cooper Imprint Springer-Verlag Berlin and Heidelberg GmbH & Co.
