The MEOX1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called homeobox protein MOX-1, which is a member of the homeobox protein family. Homeobox proteins direct the formation of body structures during early development.
Normal function
The MEOX1 gene provides instructions for making a protein called homeobox protein MOX-1, which is a member of the homeobox protein family. Homeobox proteins direct the formation of body structures during early development.
Homeobox protein MOX-1 is a transcription factor, which means it attaches to DNA and controls the activity (expression) of other genes. Through this function, the protein likely controls the expression of genes that regulate a process called somite segmentation. Somite segmentation separates the bones of the spine (vertebrae) from one another. Homeobox protein MOX-1 also ensures that the developing vertebral bone maintains the correct position for proper formation.
Additionally, the homeobox protein MOX-1 plays a role in the formation of the joints that connect the base of the skull and the top of spine (cranio-cervical joints).

Arterite a cellule giganti
This is why the condition is also called. Arterite a cellule giganti (arterite temporale) causes No one really knows exactly what causes giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis). We do know that there are genetic changes in some people which make them more likely to develop giant cell (temporal) arteritis. Who is likely to develop giant cell arteritis.

Deficit di alfa-1 antitripsina
Deficit di alfa-1 antitripsina is an inherited genetic condition. A genetic condition is one that can be passed on from parents through genes. In alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency the result of a genetic abnormality leads to lung and, in some people, liver damage. Lung symptoms are the most common and include shortness of breath, cough and wheezing..

la malattia di Wilson
Wilson's disease is a genetic disorder in which copper builds up in the body, mainly in the liver and brain. Without any treatment, the build-up of copper can cause serious symptoms. Treatment is with medication to remove the excess copper and/or to prevent a further build-up of copper. What is Wilson's disease. Wilson's disease is a condition.
