obesity-associated stimuli induce a TH upregulation in periodontal cells and tissues

Susceptibility
  • to alterations in autonomic activity and blood pressure
  • Variant & Polymorphism SNP
  • common genetic variants in the proximal TH promoter, especially at C-824T and A-581G, are associated to alterations in autonomic activity and blood pressure
  • Candidate gene
    Marker
  • tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in peripheral blood (PB) at diagnosis in patients with neuroblastoma is a marker of worse outcome
  • in high-risk metastatic Neuroblastoma, TH and DCX mRNA quantification could be used for the assessment of response to treatment and for early detection of progressive disease or relapses
  • Therapy target
