Overview of Alexander Disease

Most recent studies have shown that Alexander Disease shares some biological mechanisms with adrenoleukodystrophy, ataxia, atrophy, brain-diseases, canavan-disease, cns-disorder, demyelinating-diseases, demyelination, diffuse-cerebral-sclerosis-of-schilder, disease-of-adrenal-medulla, gliosis, hydrocephalus, leukodystrophy, leukoencephalopathies, macrocephaly, nervous-system-disorder, nervousness, neurodegenerative-disorders.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Alexander Disease, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Autophagy, Cell Death, Cell Differentiation, Cell Division, Cell Proliferation, Cognition, Glial Cell Differentiation, Immune Response, Inflammatory Response, Intermediate Filament Organization, Localization, Macroautophagy, Myelination, Pathogenesis, Reflex, Response To Stress, Schwann Cell Proliferation, Spermatogenesis, Transport

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Alexander Disease, such as ABCD1, ACAT1, CRYAB, CSF2, DES, GFAP, HSPB1, JUN, LAMC2, MAPK8, MLC1, MTOR, MYL4, NFE2L2, SLC1A2, SLC25A5, VIM. See what Boster has to offer for the research of these genes by clicking the gene name links below and view a more detailed info card/product listing for that gene.

In a later update, we will include information such as current drugs and therapy solutions as well as on-going and past clinical trials for this disease. Plesae stay updated.
