Disease relevance of Heart Valves

 

Psychiatry related information on Heart Valves

  • They are consistent with the hypothesis that brain hypoperfusion contributes to dementia, possibly to AD pathogenesis, and raise the possibility that the APOE allele epsilon 4 contributes directly to heart valve and myocardial damage [6].

Gene context of Heart Valves

  • Gata4(ki/ki) mice die just after embryonic day (E) 12.5 exhibiting features in common with Fog2(-/-) embryos as well as additional semilunar cardiac valve defects and a double-outlet right ventricle [27].
  • Essential role of Sox9 in the pathway that controls formation of cardiac valves and septa [28].
  • Nfatc1 is an endocardial transcription factor required for development of cardiac valves [17].
  • PTH(1-34) suppressed aortic OPN and Msx2 expression >50% and decreased cardiac valve calcification 80% (8.3 +/- 1.5% versus 1.4 +/- 0.5%; p < 0.001) [29].
  • In the present study, a frequently used control gene, beta-actin, was examined in ovine heart valves to evaluate its applicability as a housekeeping gene for this tissue [30].
