Review Minor Histocompatibility Antigens: From the Laboratory to the Clinic (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit 8) (Molecular Biology Intelligence Unit) / Landes Bioscience:With the widespread application of solid tissue and bone marrow transplantation as a treatment for an array of life threatening disorders, there is a pressing need for clinicians and experimentalists to understand the basis of immunological rejection of tissue transplants. While much previous work focuses on characterization of antigens encoded by the major histocompatibility complex (MHC) in this process, the many histocompatibility (H) antigens encoded outside of the MHC, the so-called minor H antigens, have only recently been identified at the molecular level. This easily readable but comprehensive text is the first to put together insightful historic perspectives with up-to-date advances in the molecular genetics, biochemistry and immunobiology of minor H antigens from both experimental and clinical points of view. In doing so it provides a sourcebook particularly suited for clinicians and experimental immunologists engaged in tissue transplantation.

Review Prenatal Testing for Late Onset Neurological Diseases / Garland Science:When predictive testing and prenatal testing for Huntington's disease became a reality, about 15 years ago, this was a milestone in medical history and a new challenge for families and professionals. In the meantime many DNA tests have been performed and the elaborated approach has become a model for several other (currently) incurable late onset diseases. Prenatal Testing for Late Onset Neurological Diseases deals with prenatal testing (full prenatal diagnosis, prenatal exclusion testing and preimplantation genetic diagnosis) within the context of the complex reproductive decision-making process that families at increased genetic risk for a late onset disease are facing. The chapters cover clinical, psychological, social and ethical issues as well as legal aspects of prenatal testing for late onset disease. Moreover the families' perspective is an integral part of the book. The book pays attention to differences in several European countries and in North America. The editors and authors are professionals who have all been very actively involved (some of them long before the availability of DNA testing) in Huntington's disease and other neurogenetic diseases in practice and/or research. The book is essential reading for medical specialists (clinical geneticists, obstetricians and neurologists), psychologists and other professionals who get in touch with families with late onset disease as well as for ethicists and lawyers with a particular interest in genetic testing. It will also be useful for families and family associations confronted with late onset neurogenetic disease.

Review Lysosomal Disorders of the Brain: Recent Advances in Molecular and Cellular Pathogenesis and Treatment / Oxford University Press, USA:Lysosomal storage diseases are inherited metabolic disorders characterized by severe pathology, typically involving the brain. Although individually rare, they collectively represent a significant group of diseases that primarily present in early infancy or childhood. In recent years considerable progress has been made in understanding the molecular mechanisms that lead to disordered function of the lysosomal system and to lysosomal storage. Unravelling the basis for these diseases is providing unique insight into the normal biology of cells and pointing the way to the development of therapeutic strategies for their treatment. Lysosomal Disorders of Brain details recent advances in the molecular and cellular pathologies of these diseases and in the development of effective therapies. After an overview of the biology of the endosomal-lysosomal system and the types of diseases resulting from defects in this system, the book describes in detail the molecular mechanisms of storage, model systems and pathophysiological mechanisms, and finally, new advances toward treatment. With each chapter written by leading experts in their field, this book will be valuable for scientists and clinicians in helping them understand the role of lysosomes in normal cells and mechanisms underlying these disorders, how they can be diagnosed, and the treatment options that are currently available.

Review Life Span Development in Genetic Disorders: Behavioral and Neurobiological Aspects / Nova Science Publishers:This book provides professionals with the latest and most reliable information about genetic disorders and emphasises the advantage of a life-span multidisciplinary approach. The maturation of the brain, the environmental experiences and the mastery of developmental challenges and task are considered in order to understand how persons with genetic disorders and intellectual disability progress throughout their life-span from infancy to old age. The book utilises a developmental perspective and reviews different genetics disorders associated with intellectual disabilities (Down Syndrome, Nance Horan Syndrome, 10p deletion), with focus mainly at the developmental history. It also provides useful indications for support to children and adults with developmental disabilities regarding education and other best practices like family supports and cognitive enrichment programs. A brief introduction to intelligence provides an overview of topical intelligence research and theory, in terms that can be integrated with the results and theory of neuropsychology. Case studies are proposed in each chapter to highlight specific diagnostic and treatment issues and to discuss the facilitation of transitions throughout the life-span from infancy to maturity and old age. Focusing developmental features for addressing the etiological diagnosis and comparing brain development and mind/brain interactions among neurogenetic syndromes is the promising approach to understand neurodevelopment underlined throughout the book.
