Genetic diseases of connective tissues: cellular and extracellular effects of ECM mutations

Bateman, John F., Boot-Handford, Raymond P., Lamandé, Shireen R.·2009·Nature Reviews Genetics

Abstract

Tissue-specific extracellular matrices (ECMs) are crucial for normal development and tissue function, and mutations in ECM genes result in a wide range of serious inherited connective tissue disorders. Mutations cause ECM dysfunction by combinations of two mechanisms. First, secretion of the mutated ECM components can be reduced by mutations affecting synthesis or by structural mutations causing cellular retention and/or degradation. Second, secretion of mutant protein can disturb crucial ECM interactions, structure and stability. Moreover, recent experiments suggest that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress, caused by mutant misfolded ECM proteins, contributes to the molecular pathology. Targeting ER stress might offer a new therapeutic strategy.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
