Howard Hughes Medical Institute Holiday Lectures on Science: Of Hearts and Hypertension: Blazing genetic trails - Lecture 2 - "Telltale Genes: Charting Human Disease" by Richard P. Lifton, M.D., Ph.D., 1998-12-01T00:00:00+00:00
Item — Box: MM-27, Object: 11
Identifier: LE0069
Scope and Contents
Lecture by Richard Lifton covering: The human genome contains approximately 100,000 genes organized into chromosomes; Different forms of genes, called alleles, arise by mutations, some of which can lead to disease, or a propensity for disease, in an individual; Many disease-causing alleles have been identified by pinpointing the location of a gene on a human chromosome, followed by molecular cloning; The identification of "disease genes" offers new diagnostic tools, and potential new...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute Holiday Lectures on Science: Of Hearts and Hypertension: Blazing genetic trails - Lecture 3 - "Heartbreak: Of Mutations and Maladies" by Christine E. Seidman, M.D., 1998-12-01T00:00:00+00:00
Item — Box: MM-27, Object: 12
Identifier: LE0070
Scope and Contents
Lecture by Christine Seidman covering: Heart disease is the leading cause of death in the United States; Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a sometimes fatal heart disorder that runs in families; The disease is caused by mutations in one of several genes encoding the proteins that compose the sarcomere, the contractile apparatus of muscle cells; Mice that have been engineered with mutations in genes encoding sarcomere proteins are used as models to explore how gender, exercise and environment...

Howard Hughes Medical Institute Holiday Lectures on Science: Of Hearts and Hypertension: Blazing genetic trails - Lecture 4 - "The Kidney's Tale: Of Salt and Hypertension" by Richard P. Lifton, M.D., Ph.D., 1998-12-01T00:00:00+00:00
Item — Box: MM-27, Object: 13
Identifier: LE0071
Scope and Contents
Lecture by Richard Lifton covering: High blood pressure, or hypertension, damages blood vessels, contributing to heart attacks, strokes, and kidney failure; Molecular genetic approaches have led to the identification of a number of genes that, when mutated, cause changes in blood pressure; These genes encode ion channels, which are proteins embedded in the cell membrane that control the flux of salt into the blood stream; Mutations that cause hypertension increase the activity of the ion...

Scope and Contents
Genomics and health disparieis, Francis Collins (health disparities course) - what causes health disparities, what can we do about them, how to eliminate them, what role does genetics play in health disparities. Virtually all diseases have genetic components, so understanding that would mean better understanding and ideas how to cure/treat illnesses. Brief explanation of DNA, genome, Human Genome Project. New approach (haplotypes) to find genetic components of multifactorial diseases....
