Tyrolean and Swedish researchers have succeeded in deciphering the molecular structure of neurofibromin in extremely high resolution
in short needed
- Researchers have deciphered the molecular structure of neurofibromine.
- This hereditary disease is making progress in research into neurofibromatosis.
Scientists from Innsbruck Medical University and Stockholm University have deciphered the molecular structure of neurofibromin in high resolution. «Results bring to research Hereditary disease neurofibromatosis A big step forward », writes GenEpi Innsbruck.
« Patients with neurofibromatosis suffer from a variety of symptoms, most often caused by benign or malignant tumors of the skin and of nervous systemIt can happen in childhood itself,” explained structural biologist Bernhard Rupp.
«With a birth rate of 1:3000, neurofibromatosis is one of the most common hereditary diseases, and there is an understanding of molecular system This disease is a prerequisite for the development of therapeutic approaches and active ingredients, ”the scientists write.
