description

In this chapter are presented chaperonopathies in which a genetic mechanism is involved but are different from those discussed in chapter 4. Thus, chaperonopathies due to gene dysregulation such as those observed in aged individuals and in some cases with neurodegenerative diseases (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Huntington’s, Parkinson’s, and other conditions), are presented. Likewise, examples of the impact of chaperone-gene polymorphisms on health and disease are given. The quantitative chaperonopathies attributable to gene dysregulation are discussed.
