Der SLC26A4 gene provides instructions for making a protein called pendrin. This protein transports negatively charged particles (ions), including chloride, iodide, and bicarbonate, across cell membranes. Pendrin is produced in several organs and tissues, particularly the inner ear and thyroid gland.
Normal function
Der SLC26A4 gene provides instructions for making a protein called pendrin. This protein transports negatively charged particles (ions), including chloride, iodide, and bicarbonate, across cell membranes. Pendrin is produced in several organs and tissues, particularly the inner ear and thyroid gland.
The thyroid gland is a butterfly-shaped organ at the base of the neck that releases hormones to help regulate growth and the rate of chemical reactions in the body (metabolism). In the thyroid, pendrin is believed to transport iodide ions out of certain cells. Iodide is needed for the normal production of thyroid hormones.
In the inner ear, pendrin likely helps control the proper balance of ions, including chloride and bicarbonate. Maintaining the proper levels of these ions appears to be particularly important during development of the inner ear, and it may influence the shape of bony structures such as the cochlea and vestibular aqueduct. The cochlea is a snail-shaped structure that helps process sound. The vestibular aqueduct is a bony canal that connects the inner ear with the inside of the skull.
Pendrin is also found in other tissues, including the kidneys, liver, and lining of the airways. Researchers are studying the role of pendrin's ion transport function in these tissues.

Hämochromatose
Haemochromatosis is an inherited (genetic) disorder which causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron causes damage to organs in which it builds up. The main treat... Because of the risk of developing a serious complication such as cirrhosis, treatment to remove iron buildup from the body is very important even if there.

Zystische Fibrose
What causes cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder. A genetic disorder is one that can be passed on from your parents through your genes. How is cystic fibrosis inherited. Zystische Fibrose ist ein autosomal recessive disorder. This means that in order to develop cystic fibrosis you need to inherit two cystic fibrosis genes, one from.

Hereditäre Sphärozytose
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) ist an inherited condition of red blood cells. The disease can be mild and go unrecognised in some people. In others there may be severe anaemia requiring regular blood transfusions. Some people with hereditary spherocytosis may be offered surgery to remove their spleen. This usually helps the condition, but increases.

Morbus Wilson
When the copper storage capacity of the liver cells is exhausted, the copper spills into the bloodstream and deposits copper in other parts of the body, mainly the brain. How is Wilson's disease inherited. Morbus Wilson ist an autosomal recessive disorder. This means that, in order to develop Wilson's disease, two abnormal ATP7B genes must be.

It should ideally be continued from at least one month before becoming pregnant until at least the end of the 12th week of pregnancy. This is important for all women, even those who are healthy and have a good diet. It is important.

Duchenne-Muskeldystrophie
. Each person inherits a set of genes from their father and another set from their mother. The genes have been copied from the parents' cells into the child's cells. Genes are found on 'chromosomes', rather like houses on a street. The DMD gene is located on a chromosome called the X chromosome. Boys have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome;.
