Nina Raben, M.D., Ph.D., NIH Research Chemist, visited the Netherlands to collaborate with Dr. Arnold Reuser on genetic mutationsA change in a gene that can affect how it works. More in AMD. They studied the presence of certain disease related mutationsA change in a gene that can affect how it works. More, how they affect the mechanisms of the acid maltase enzymeA protein that helps the body carry out chemical reactions. More, and how transfers are made within the cells. The NIH has developed a mouse modelA laboratory mouse used to study disease and test treatments before human trials. More for Acid Maltase Deficiency. (April, 1997; updated June. 1998)
The NIH in conjunction with Tel Aviv University, Israel, published an abstract on gene therapyA developing treatment that aims to fix, replace, or add genetic instructions. More relating to Type II GlycogenA stored form of sugar used for energy. More Storage Disease or Acid Maltase Deficiency. It was published in:
Human Gene TherapyA developing treatment that aims to fix, replace, or add genetic instructions. More 8:1555-1563 (September 1, 1997).
