The SLC25A4 gene provides the instructions for making a protein called adenine nucleotide translocase type 1 (ANT1). ANT1 functions in mitochondria, which are structures within cells that convert the energy from food into a form that cells can use. This process, called oxidative phosphorylation, converts adenosine diphosphate (ADP) into adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the cell's main energy source. ANT1 forms a channel in the inner membrane of mitochondria. This channel allows ADP into mitochondria and ATP out of mitochondria to be used as energy for the cell. ANT1 may also be a part of another structure in the inner membrane called the mitochondrial permeability transition pore. This structure allows various molecules to pass into mitochondria and is thought to play a role in the self-destruction (apoptosis) of the cell.

Cystic fibrosis
Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disorder. Cystic fibrosis is an autosomal recessive disorder. About 1 in 25 people in the UK of white European descent are carriers of the cystic fibrosis gene. When two people who carry the cystic fibrosis gene have a child, there is a: 1 in 4 chance that the child will have cystic fibrosis (by inheriting the cystic.

Haemochromatosis
Haemochromatosis is an inherited (genetic) disorder which causes the body to absorb too much iron from the diet. This excess iron causes damage to organs in which it builds up. The main treat... Because of the risk of developing a serious complication such as cirrhosis, treatment to remove iron buildup from the body is very important even if there.

Planning to become pregnant
Folic acid supplements F olic acid tablets (supplements) should be started as soon as contraception is stopped when. It should ideally be continued from at least one month before becoming pregnant until at least the end of the 12th week of pregnancy. This is important for all women, even those who are healthy and have a good diet. It is important.

Hereditary spherocytosis
Hereditary spherocytosis (HS) is an inherited condition of red blood cells. The disease can be mild and go unrecognised in some people. In others there may be severe anaemia requiring regular blood transfusions. Some people with hereditary spherocytosis may be offered surgery to remove their spleen. This usually helps the condition, but increases.

Duchenne muscular dystrophy
. Each person inherits a set of genes from their father and another set from their mother. The genes have been copied from the parents' cells into the child's cells. Genes are found on 'chromosomes', rather like houses on a street. The DMD gene is located on a chromosome called the X chromosome. Boys have one X chromosome and one Y chromosome;.
