GERMLINE GENETIC SUSCEPTIBILITY TESTING AMONG EMIRATI NATIONALS AT RISK FOR HEREDITARY BREAST AND OVARIAN CANCER SYNDROME

Germline Genetic Susceptibility Testing Among Emirati Nationals at Risk for Hereditary Breast and Ovarian Cancer Syndrome

PURPOSEBreast cancer among Emirati patients is characterized by early-onset disease and later stages at presentation.Little is known about the germline genetic variants that may contribute to these observations.The goal of this study is to characterize the rate and implications of germline genetic variants among a cohort of Emirati patients at risk

Selective loss of slow and enhancement of fast Na+currents in cutaneous afferent dorsal root ganglion neurones following axotomy

Voltage-dependent Na+currents were recorded via patch-clamp from identified adult rat lumbar cutaneous dorsal root ganglion (DRG) neurones using whole-cell and bleb-patch-clamp configurations.Na+currents in DRG neurones studied 18 days after sciatic nerve ligation were compared with those in control neurones.Control neurones tended to have a singul
