Congenital adrenal hyperplasia (CAH) is a group of rare orphan disorders caused by mutations in seven different enzymes that impair cortisol biosynthesis. The 17α-hydroxylase deficiency (17OHD) one the less common forms CAH, corresponding to approximately 1% cases, with an estimated annual incidence 1 50,000 newborns. Cases description - two phenotypically female Ecuadorian sisters, both primary amenorrhea, absence secondary sexual characteristics, and osteoporosis. High blood pressure was...
e11592 Background: Despite the therapeutic success of trastuzumab, only 30% tumors that overexpress HER2 respond. The PI3K/AKT pathway appears to be an important mechanism resistance. It is known receptor and PI3K pathways can modulated by different miRNAs. purpose this study was investigate mechanisms in resistance trastuzumab evaluation inhibitory drugs relevant microRNAs context de novo Methods: cell line HCC1954, with treated inhibitors BKM120 (PI3K), MK2206 (Akt1/2/3), everolimus (mTOR)...
