Webb6 feb. 2012 · Regalado et al. (2011) identified 3 additional SMAD3 mutations in 4 families. These families all segregated thoracic aortic aneurysm as an autosomal dominant trait. Some members of the family also had abdominal aortic aneurysms, iliac artery aneurysms, and intracranial aneurysms. WebbConclusions: This study provides evidence that the SMAD3 gene, which encodes a key regulatory protein in the transforming growth factor beta signalling pathway and is known to interact directly with BRCA2, may contribute to increased risk of breast cancer in BRCA2 mutation carriers.

WebbTGF-β/SMAD3 signaling is crucial to maintain the integrity of articular cartilage. 18 SMAD3 gene-deficient mice are characterized with hypertrophic chondrocytes, which induce the progressive loss of cartilage accompanied by formation of osteophytes in joints. 18 A clinical study led by Yao et al found that the SMAD3 gene mutations were associated … Webb3 okt. 2016 · Aneurysms-Osteoarthritis Syndrome: SMAD3 Gene Mutations is a first-of-its-kind compilation of the genetic discovery, research, and care associated with AOS. With … Increased SMAD3 activity has, however, been implicated in the pathogenesis of scleroderma. SMAD3 is also a multifaceted regulator in adipose physiology and the pathogenesis of obesity and type 2 diabetes. SMAD3-knockout mice have diminished adiposity, with improved glucose tolerance and insulin sensitivity. Despite their reduced physical activity arising from muscle atrophy, these SMAD3-knockout mice are resistant to high-fat-diet induced obesity. SMAD3-kno… imvuonly.com
