Overview of Lafora Disease

Most recent studies have shown that Lafora Disease shares some biological mechanisms with ataxia, atrophy, dementia, epilepsies-myoclonic, epilepsy, glycogen-storage-disease, glycogen-storage-disease-type-iv, impaired-cognition, merrf-syndrome, myoclonic-epilepsies-progressive, myoclonus, nerve-degeneration, nervous-system-disorder, nervousness, neurodegenerative-disorders, neuronal-ceroid-lipofuscinoses, tonic-clonic-epilepsy, type-i-mucolipidosis, unverricht-lundborg-syndrome.

Among the many pathways, these few ones have gauged particular interests from scientists studying Lafora Disease, and have been seen in publications frequently: Aging, Autophagy, Cell Death, Cellular Process, Dna Repair, Glucose Homeostasis, Glucose Metabolic Process, Habituation, Hyperphosphorylation, Localization, Macroautophagy, Metabolic Process, Neuron Death, Pathogenesis, Protein Phosphorylation, Protein Targeting, Reflex, Response To Endoplasmic Reticulum Stress, Translation, Transport

Quite a number of genes have been found to play important roles in Lafora Disease, such as CSTB, EPM2A, EPM2AIP1, FMN1, FOXC2, GAA, GBE1, HSPA5, INS, MUL1, NHLRC1, PPA1, PPP1R3B, PPP1R3C, TRIM50. 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.
