Imaging genomics combines imaging-defined phenotypes with molecular determinants of disease. Recent studies have examined the relationship between MRI-derived feature sets and gene expression in gliomas, including glioblastoma (GBM). Several groups…
In this article, an update is presented of the correlation of imaging and genetic findings in congenital malformations of the central nervous system (CMCNS). A nonsystematic search of the PubMed/Medline…
The current treatment of glioblastoma patients based on surgery, radiation, and chemotherapy has achieved modest improvement in progression-free survival. In this direction, personalized treatment is the next achievement for better…
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common disease of the central nervous system, with various clinical symptoms and a heterogeneous disease course. MRI can depict focal and diffuse manifestations of the…
Despite comprehensive therapy, which includes surgery, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, the prognosis of glioblastoma multiforme is very poor. Diagnosed individuals present an average of 12 to 18 months of life. This article…
Cerebrospinal vascular malformations are a group of anomalies affecting the arterial wall, the capillary arteriovenous interface, or the venous and lymphatic structures. Heritability and family studies allow identification of mutations…
In this article, the genotype-MR phenotype correlation of the most common or clinically important inherited metabolic diseases (IMD) in the pediatric population is reviewed. A nonsystematic search of the PubMed/Medline…
Gene expression is a process of DNA sequence reading into protein synthesis. In cases of problems in DNA repair/apoptosis mechanisms, cells accumulate genomic abnormalities and pass them through generations of…
Neuroimaging is a potentially valuable tool to link individual differences in the human genome to structure and functional variations, narrowing the gaps in the casual chain from a given genetic…
L. Celso Hygino da Cruz Jr, MD, Editor The past decade has witnessed a tremendous growth in brain imaging as well as an enormous explosion of interest and success in…
