The salience of Garrod's 'molecular groupings' and 'Inborn Factors in Disease'

Journal of Inherited Metabolic Disease
C R Scriver

Abstract

Garrod's important second book, Inborn Factors in Disease (1931), was about inherited predisposition to disease. Chemical and metabolic individuality, which are the modalities of predisposition, originated in 'molecular groupings' (proteins) in Garrod's view of life. Such 'groupings' as interlocus molecular hybrids, allelic complementation and expressions of modifier genes, can assume variant expression in heterozygotes. Here, it is shown that genetic variation in such 'molecular groupings' has clinical relevance, for example (1) in reproductive counselling for thalassaemia; (2) in heterozygosity where the affected enzymes are normally homopolymeric; (3) in clinical severity of 'monogenic' disease (e.g. familial hypercholesterolaemia and muscular dystrophy) when variation is not explained by allelic heterogeneity. The associated chemical individuality in each case can be used to identify risk and thus as a mode of predictive medicine.

Anemia

Anemia develops when your blood lacks enough healthy red blood cells. Anemia of inflammation (AI, also called anemia of chronic disease) is a common, typically normocytic, normochromic anemia that is caused by an underlying inflammatory disease. Here is the latest research on anemia.
