Machado-Joseph Disease
|
D017827 |
[A dominantly-inherited ATAXIA first described in people of Azorean and Portuguese descent, and subsequently identified in Brazil, Japan, China, and Australia. This disorder is classified as one of the SPINOCEREBELLAR ATAXIAS (Type 3) and has been associated with a mutation of the MJD1 gene on chromosome 14. Clinical features include progressive ataxia, DYSARTHRIA, postural instability, nystagmus, eyelid retraction, and facial FASCICULATIONS. DYSTONIA is prominent in younger patients (referred to as Type I Machado-Joseph Disease). Type II features ataxia and ocular signs; Type III features MUSCULAR ATROPHY and a sensorimotor neuropathy; and Type IV features extrapyramidal signs combined with a sensorimotor neuropathy. (From Clin Neurosci 1995;3(1):17-22; Ann Neurol 1998 Mar;43(3):288-96)

Macroautophagy
|
D000080550 |
[Autophagic degradation of microorganisms in the CYTOPLASM.
, The segregation of large parts of the cytoplasm, including ORGANELLES and PROTEIN AGGREGATES, into AUTOPHAGOSOMES and lysosomal degradation after fusion with LYSOSOMES.
, Macroautophagic degradation of PROTEASOMES.
, Autophagic degradation of damaged LYSOSOMES.
, A selective type of macroautophagy in which PROTEIN AGGREGATES that are bound to chaperone HSPPA8 and other co-chaperones are taken in for lysosomal degradation by invagination. It is distinguished from CHAPERONE-MEDIATED AUTOPHAGY.
, Macroautophagic degradation of PEROXISOMES. In yeast peroxisomes are degraded via a microautophagic process known as MICROPEXOPHAGY.
