Genetic Clues to Rare Childhood Disorder

newswise.com

Research from the University of California, San Diego School of Medicine provides new clues for the compulsive behavior and cognitive defects associated with a rare childhood neurological disease called Lesch-Nyhan Disease (LND). Two pathways found to be defective in LND are known to be associated with other neurodegenerative disease, such as Alzheimer--™s and Parknson--™s diseases, suggesting common causes of cognitive and behavioral defects in these neurological disorders.
