The Genetics Of Anhidrosis
PhD and Laura Patterson Rosa DVM PhD of the University of Florida has been investigating the genetics of anhidrosis and attempting to identify a defect associated with the syndrome full disclosure I am also a small contributor to this research.

Analysis using the GenomeWide Association Study GWAS technique to broadly look for genomic associations with anhidrosis yielded additional information that was recently published by Brooks and Patterson. A casecontrol GWAS using statematched cases and controls collected from across the United States totaling 200 individual horses showed a strongly supported candidate region containing the KCNE4 gene. Sequence analysis revealed a single nucleotide polymorphism SNPa variation in a base pair of genes within a DNA sequencelikely to alter KCNE4 protein function. This gene encodes a portion of a potassium channel protein with a possible function in sweat gland outflow.
مع وصول أونصة الذهب إلى مستويات قياسية تجاوزت 2500 دولار، يجد المواطن المصري نفسه مضطراً لموازنة استثماراته بين الذهب واحتياجاته الأخرى، خاصة مع ارتفاع أسعار السيارات مثل تويوتا، هيونداي، وبي إم دبليو، مما يزيد من التحديات المالية التي يواجهها.
