The doctor in question is John Ellison, played by Jason OâMara, a handsome Irish actor whoâs had a hard time finding a suitable home on American television.
Osteoporosis is a common disease with a strong genetic component. In recent years, some progress has been made in understanding the genetic basis of osteoporosis. Genetic factors contribute to osteoporosis by influencing not only bone mineral density but also bone size, bone quality, and bone turnover.
Modern advances in genetics have allowed investigators to identify the complex etiology of clubfoot. It has become increasingly apparent that clubfoot is a heterogeneous disorder with a polygenetic threshold model explaining its inheritance patterns.Several recent genetic studies have identified a key developmental pathway, the PITX1-TBX4 transcriptional pathway, as being important in clubfoot etiology.Both PITX1 and TBX4 are uniquely expressed in the hindlimb, which helps explain the foot phenotype seen with mutations in these transcription factors.everal recent genetic studies have identified a key developmental pathway, the PITX1-TBX4 transcriptional pathway, as being important in clubfoot etiology.
