Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) | Nucleotides
Angiotensin II receptor blockers (ARBs) are a class of antihypertensive medications that act on Angiotensin receptor I on vascular smooth muscles and adrenal glands, there by preventing the binding of Angiotensin II. This leads to a decrease in vasoconstriction and aldosterone production, which altogether results in reduced blood pressure.

ACE Inhibitors | Nucleotides
ACE inhibitors are a class of medicines used in the treatment of hypertension. They block angiotensin converting enzyme and prevent angiotensin II production, thereby decrease blood pressure. Dry cough, angioedema, hypotension and hyperkalemia are common side effects of ACE inhibitors.

Friedreich’s Ataxia | Nucleotides
Friedreich’s ataxia is an autosomal recessive condition caused due to expanded GAA repeats in the FXN gene present on chromosome 9.
11 Mar 2023
Gaucher Disease | Nucleotides
Gaucher disease is an autosomal recessive condition wherein there is decreased glucocerebrosidase levels. This results in the build up of glucocerebroside in the lysosomes of macrophages which in turn accumulates in several tissues, causing damage to it.
25 Feb 2023
Albinism | Nucleotides
Albinism is a recessive genetic disorder caused by mutation in the genes of any enzyme or protein taking part in melanin production. This condition causes a decrease or absence of melanin pigment, resulting in decreased skin, hair and eye pigmentation which is manifested as white to gray hair, milky white skin and very light blue or translucent irises.
18 Feb 2023
Von-Hippel Lindau Disease | Nucleotides
Von Hippel Lindau disease is an autosomal dominant genetic condition caused by mutation in the VHL gene found on chromosome number 3. This results in increased levels of HIF, platelet-derived and vascular endothelial growth factors, causing tumor development.
11 Feb 2023
Tay-Sachs Disease | Nucleotides
Tay-Sachs disease is a rare autosomal recessive condition that results from a mutation in HEX-A gene on chromosome 15 that leads to GM2 ganglioside build up within lysosomes in the neurons of CNS resulting in progressive symptoms of CNS degeneration including visual problems, hypotonia and seizures.
4 Feb 2023
Fabry Disease | Nucleotides
Fabry disease is a rare genetic disorder that affects the X chromosome. It is caused by mutation in the GLA gene resulting in decreased alpha galactosidase A enzyme or alpha-gal A, leading to the buildup of large glycosphingolipids like Globotriaosylceramide (GL3) in lysosomes.
28 Jan 2023
Turner Syndrome | Nucleotides
Turner syndrome is a chromosomal disorder in females wherein there is either one fully or partially absent X chromosome. The common characteristics of Turner syndrome are short stature, streak ovaries, neck webbing, lymphedema, congenital heart and renal anomalies. Treatment includes growth hormone and sex hormone replacement therapy.
21 Jan 2023
Wiskott-Aldrich Syndrome | Nucleotides
Wiskott-Aldrich syndrome is an immune system disorder which is inherited in an X-linked recessive way and it most often affects men. The standard triad of symptoms are microthrombocytopenia, repeated infections and eczema. The treatment is concentrated on controlling symptoms and the likely curative treatment now is hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
14 Jan 2023
Klinefelter's Syndrome | Nucleotides
Klinefelter's syndrome is a genetic or chromosomal abnormality in which a male with XY genotype inherits at the minimum or sometimes more than one extra X-chromosome. It results in decreased testosterone levels and increased luteinizing and follicle stimulating hormones, all resulting in male infertility and feminine physical characteristics.
7 Jan 2023
Zellweger Spectrum Disorders | Nucleotides
Zellweger Spectrum Disorders or ZSDs are referred to as a group of rare genetic diseases that impairs development of peroxisomes. It impairs the functioning of peroxisomes leading to very-long-chain fatty acids build up and nerve degeneration, causing multiple system complications.
31 Dec 2022
Marfan Syndrome | Nucleotides
Marfan syndrome is referred to as a rare genetic condition in which there is a malfunctioned connective tissue affecting an individual’s heart, blood vessels, skeleton, eyes and lungs.
24 Dec 2022
Adrenoleukodystrophy | Nucleotides
Adrenoleukodystrophy or ALD is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutation in the ABCD1 gene located in the X-chromosome that results in a progressive loss of white matter in the nervous system and degradation of adrenal glands.
17 Dec 2022
Horner's Syndrome | Nucleotides
Horner’s syndrome named after the Swiss Ophthalmologist Johann Friedrich Horner happens due to error occurring in sympathetic nerve supply towards one side of the face.
10 Dec 2022
Alport Syndrome | Nucleotides
Alport syndrome occurs due to mutations in COL4A3,4 and 5 genes that encode for collagen type IV alpha subunits 3, 4 and 5 causing kidney issues like hematuria, glomerulonephritis, inner ear problems like sensorineural hearing loss and eye problems like anterior lenticonus.
3 Dec 2022
Lesch-Nyhan Syndrome | Nucleotides
Lesch-Nyhan syndrome is an X-linked recessive condition caused by mutation in the HGPRT gene that is located on the X chromosome and it blocks the purine salvage pathway. End result is hyperuricemia and hyperuricosuria leading to kidney stones, gouty arthritis, neurological and behavioral problems.
