Disease relevance of FTL

 

Psychiatry related information on FTL

  • Overall, students were found to show strong stereotyping effects, rating PL infants more negatively than FTL infants when asked questions about their expectations for the infants' growth and development as well as their expectations for how mothers of these infants might behave during a medically related contact concerning her infant [6].

Regulatory relationships of FTL

 

Other interactions of FTL

  • The potential application of FTL and IGFBP1 in management of patients with HM should be explored [14].
  • The mRNA expression of two of the corresponding genes (apolipoprotein E, ferritin light chain) is already known to be up-regulated during MAC maturation [24].
  • In this study, 253 patients with a clinical diagnosis of idiopathic PD were screened for the insertion in the FTL gene by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism method [18].
  • Ferritin light chain down-modulation generates depigmentation in human metastatic melanoma cells by influencing tyrosinase maturation [1].
  • Mean FT was highest for FTS (0.41 nmol/L), followed by FTV (0.35 nmol/L), and FTL (0.29 nmol/L) [25].
 

Analytical, diagnostic and therapeutic context of FTL

  • CONCLUSIONS: Findings showed that reduced expression of genes related to cell invasion and immunosuppression, especially FTL and IGFBP1, were associated with development of GTN, and this finding may provide a better understanding of the pathogenesis of GTN [14].
  • The ferritin light polypeptide (FTL) gene overexpression was confirmed by real time quantitative PCR [26].
  • The FTL was applied to the study of interactions between spontaneous respiratory effort and mechanical inflation in preterm newborn babies undergoing mechanical ventilation [27].
  • Sequence analysis of the iron-responsive element of the ferritin light chain on chromosome 19q13.3-qter was performed [28].
  • SELDI-TOF-MS protein profiling clearly showed that a high level of cytosolic ubiquitin and/or a low level of FLC were associated with a good prognosis in breast cancer [29].
