Canavan Disease

Information about Canavan Disease: characteristics, related genes and pathways, plus antibodies you can use for research. This page is being enriched constantly, if you see some information you would like this page to include please send your suggestions to us.

Overview of Canavan Disease

Most recent studies have shown that Canavan Disease shares some biological mechanisms with adrenoleukodystrophy, alexander-disease, brain-diseases, brain-diseases-metabolic, cns-disorder, demyelinating-diseases, demyelination, diffuse-cerebral-sclerosis-of-schilder, edema, inborn-errors-of-metabolism, leukodystrophy, leukoencephalopathies, macrocephaly, muscle-hypotonia, nerve-degeneration, nervousness, neurodegenerative-disorders, spongy-degeneration.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Canavan Disease, and have been seen in publications frequently: Brain Development, Cell Adhesion, Cell Cycle, Cell Death, Cell Motility, Developmental Process, Excretion, Immune Response, Inflammatory Response, Localization, Malate-aspartate Shuttle, Muscle Atrophy, Muscle Contraction, Myelination, Oxidative Phosphorylation, Pathogenesis, Protein Oxidation, Transport, Tricarboxylic Acid Cycle, Tropism

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Canavan Disease, such as ABCD1, ASPA, BRCA1, CALB2, CAT, CD55, CDKN1A, CR2, CSF2, DHRS4, ITGA2B, LAMC2, MBP, MLC1, MYL4, PLP1, QPCT, TDGF1, TNIP1.

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.
