An essay about Myoadenylate deaminase deficiency

[igores]

Hello everybody,

 

 

I'm writing an essay about "Myoadenylate deaminase deficiency" for my Molecular Biology class.

 

I looked up for it on the net, but what I could find was a short and incomplete explanation on Wikipedia with no figures and a few articles in which the disease was mentioned with no real focus on it and no details.

 

What I'm looking for is:

 

- Summarizing the clinical manifestations of the disease

- The gene responsible and its mutations responsible for the disease

- The normal and aberrant functioning of the protein product

 

and some interesting facts and a few figures (like the AMP deaminase enzyme, a histology slide showing the effect of the disease on an effected muscle tissue, etc.) (If the figures are colored, then )

 

 

Could anyone help me out with this?

 

Thanks in advance;) ,

i'd suggest reading this if what you find with google ain't enough:

Actually it is funny, as I was lamenting the use of wikipedia only recently.

Anyways, if the review is not enough and you got a decent library in your vicinity I'd pick up e.g. medical text books on inheritable diseases. Most of them are well written and well illustrated.
