Lopansri, Bert; Stoddard, Gregory J.; Hobbs, Maurine R.; Granger, Donald Lee | Elevated plasma phenylalanine in severe malaria and implications for pathophysiology of neurological complications. | Cerebral malaria is associated with decreased production of nitric oxide and decreased levels of its precursor, l-arginine. Abnormal amino acid metabolism may thus be an important factor in malaria pathogenesis. We sought to determine if other amino acid abnormalities are associated with disease sev... | Dystonia; Phenylalanine Hydroxylase; Tyrosine | 2006-06-01 |

Camp, Nicola J. | Genetic susceptibility of prostate cancer: genome-wide screen of "non-aggressive" disease | Research has consistently shown that genetics plays a critical role in prostate cancer (CaP) development, but the identification of CaP genes has proven to be very difficult. Hereditary prostate cancer is a complex disease believed to involve numerous genes and variable penetrance. It has been propo... | CaP genes; Prostate cancer; Non-aggressive; Utah Population Database; Trapeze Interactive Poster | 2009 |
