Is variation in GIGYF2 associated with Parkinson disease?
We believe that variation in a gene other than GIGYF2 accounts for the previously reported linkage finding on chromosome 2q36-37.
Glucocorticoid administration leads to loss of nitrogen as urea, in part due to a specific hepatic mechanism, as shown by the increased functional hepatic nitrogen clearance. Growth hormone has the opposite effect, and also neutralises the glucocorticoid effect when given together with prednisolone. This adds to the understanding of the development and treatment possibilities of steroid catabolism.
