Finding a network of 320 genes causes epilepsy
A new network of 320 genes has been discovered by British scientists in connection with human epilepsy .
Previously, epilepsy was understood as a nervous system disease caused by repeated disturbances of some neurons in the cerebral cortex, causing symptoms of nervous system disorders (seizures) such as convulsions of muscles. , tongue biting, foaming the mouth, rolling eyes, unconsciousness, loss of urination control, or strange feelings .
Epilepsy is composed of symptoms that can change from very quickly, short and almost undetectable to long-term seizures with powerful tremors. In seizures, convulsions tend to recur.
Recently, a group of British scientists have identified a gene network of 320 genes located in the brain and scientifically named M30. And the research team pointed out that the M30 gene network is closely related to the epilepsy.
Researchers have shown that, when the brain is damaged, or the stroke after a stroke or brain infection . this M30 gene network will be vulnerable, thereby leading to distraction and disruption. Disorders of the genetic biological system in the brain and become one of the triggers of epilepsy.
Now the team is continuing to decode, rearrange and find out what are the target genes, causing the strongest epilepsy among more than 300 genes through technology to access biology, genetic medicine. From there will find appropriate treatments.
" The discovery of this new gene network will pave the way for finding methods and rebuilding epilepsy drugs . " - Michael Johnson, professor at Imperial College London in England said. in a statement.
This study is published in Biology Genome magazine.
