Autoimmune skin diseases [ edit ] Pemphigus foliaceus is the most common autoimmune disease of the dog. [2] Blisters in the epidermis rapidly break to form crusts and erosions, most often affecting the face and ears initially, but in some cases spreading to include the whole body. The paw pads can be affected, causing marked hyperkeratosis (thickening of the pads with scale). ... A group of dogs supplemented with omega 3 fatty acids (660 mg/kg [300 mg/lb] of body weight/d) not only improved the condition of their pruritus, but showed an overall improvement in skin condition. [11] Furthermore, diets lacking in essential fatty acids usually present as matted and unkept fur as the first sign of a deficiency. [11] Eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA), a well known omega 3, works by preventing the synthesis of another omega metabolite known as arachidonic acid . [12] Arachidonic acid is an omega 6, making it pro-inflammatory. Though not always the case, omega 6 fatty acids promote inflammation of the skin, which in turn reduces overall appearance and health. [12] There are skin benefits of both these lipids, as a deficiency in omega 6 leads to a reduced ability to heal and a higher risk of infection, which also diminishes skin health. [11] Lipids in general benefit skin health of dogs, as they nourish the epidermis and retain moisture to prevent dry, flaky skin. [13] Vitamins [ edit ] Vitamins are one of many of the nutritional factors that change the outward appearance of a dog.

Interspersed duplication blocks in this region promote unequal crossing-over during meiosis. ... After excluding larger gains or losses that encompassed additional genes outside the candidate loci (e.g., whole-arm gains/losses), Sahoo et al. (2011) identified 1,113 individuals with copy number variants encompassing schizophrenia susceptibility loci and 37 individuals with copy number variants overlapping those present in the 6 individuals referred for schizophrenia. ... Sahoo et al. (2011) concluded that the results from their study, the largest genotype-first analysis of schizophrenia susceptibility loci to that time, suggested that the phenotypic effects of copy number variants associated with schizophrenia are pleiotropic and implied the existence of shared biologic pathways among multiple neurodevelopmental conditions.

Ninety-two had ectopic eruption of maxillary first permanent molars; 93 had infraocclusion of primary molars; 91 had ectopic eruption of maxillary canines; and 97 aplasia of premolars. ... Finally, ectopic eruption of maxillary first permanent molars increased the likelihood of infraocclusion of primary molars. ... Among these probands, family history allowed for the construction of 35 informative pedigrees. Autosomal dominant inheritance of missing teeth was noted in 13 of 35 pedigrees, and hypodontia was noted in about 20% of both first and second-degree relatives of probands with palatally impacted canines. ... In a study of 63 affected Maltese probands and their families, Camilleri et al. (2008) found evidence for a single autosomal dominant gene with incomplete penetrance and variable expression. ... There was a female predominance (F:M of 1.89), which had been noted in earlier studies (Peck et al., 1994).

Description Glomerulopathy with fibronectin deposits is a genetically heterogeneous autosomal dominant disorder characterized clinically by proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, and hypertension that leads to end-stage renal failure in the second to fifth decade of life. ... Clinical Features Mazzucco et al. (1992) described an Italian mother and daughter with slowly progressive nephrotic syndrome. Proteinuria was first detected at ages 25 and 11 years, respectively. ... The mother showed a slow decrease of glomerular function, and a second biopsy performed 8 years after the first investigation showed scarcely modified glomerular changes, consistent with an indolent evolution. ... Renal function in the proband was preserved during 7 years of follow-up. Inheritance Autosomal dominant inheritance of GFND2 was supported in 6 affected families reviewed by Strom et al. (1995). ... Mapping By linkage analysis of a large Italian family with GFND2 first reported by Strom et al. (1995), Castelletti et al. (2008) found linkage to the FN1 gene on chromosome 2q34 (2-point Z-max = 3.084 for markers D2S128 and D2S2361).

Other features included dysdiadochokinesis, hyperreflexia mainly affecting the legs, and mild dysarthria. The ataxia was present from the first years of life, but the miosis started between ages 4 and 16 years. Inheritance The transmission pattern of the disorder in the families reported by Brown (1892) and Dick et al. (1983) suggested autosomal dominant inheritance. INHERITANCE - Autosomal dominant HEAD & NECK Eyes - Miosis - Lack of pupillary dilation in the dark - Optic atrophy (in some patients) - Nystagmus (in some patients) NEUROLOGIC Central Nervous System - Delayed independent walking - Ataxia, gait - Ataxia, truncal - Dysarthria, mild - Dysdiadochokinesis - Hyperreflexia, lower limbs more than upper limbs MISCELLANEOUS - Variable age at onset (range childhood to adult) ▲ Close

A number sign (#) is used with this entry because of evidence that autosomal dominant mental retardation-45 (MRD45) is caused by heterozygous mutation in the CIC gene (612082) on chromosome 19q13. Clinical Features Lu et al. (2017) reported 5 patients from 4 families with a neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by delayed development apparent in infancy or the first years of life, variable intellectual disability, often with language delay, and behavioral disorders, including autistic features, attention deficit, and hyperactivity. ...

Management and treatment Management primarily involves physical and occupational therapy to promote mobility and independence. Prognosis The prognosis is guarded, with the clinical signs having a major impact on quality of life.

Clinical Features Shokeir (1974) described autosomal dominant inheritance of failure of eruption of permanent teeth. ... O'Connell and Torske (1999) stated that this was the first report of generalized primary retention or idiopathic failure of tooth eruption. DiBiase and Leggat (2000) reported 2 sisters with bilateral posterior open bite due to eruption failure of the permanent dentition, most notably of the first and second molars, with greater severity in the younger sister. ... Mapping Decker et al. (2008) genotyped 8 affected and 4 unaffected members of a 3-generation German family segregating autosomal dominant PFE. Parametric linkage analysis with a dominant model revealed 2 regions with a maximum lod score of 2.41, a 31.8-Mb interval on chromosome 3p24.3-p14.3, flanked by markers rs1402366 and rs13074914, and an 8-Mb interval on chromosome 13q31.3-q33.1, flanked by markers rs1328369 and rs7988100. ... Molecular Genetics In a 3-generation German family segregating autosomal dominant PFE mapping to a 31.8-Mb interval on chromosome 3p24.3-p14.3, Decker et al. (2008) analyzed the candidate gene PTHR1 (168468) and identified heterozygosity for a splice site mutation (168468.0001) in affected individuals.

Garcia-Cruz et al. (2007) described an affected mother-son pair and an additional patient with features similar to those of the patients reported by Cantu et al. (1991). The proband of the first family was an 18-year-old male who was the second pregnancy of nonconsanguineous parents. ... Garcia-Cruz et al. (2007) proposed that SED-BDS is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner since both sexes were affected and parental consanguinity was absent. However, X-linked dominant inheritance could not be excluded. History Historically, the first described patient with this skeletal dysplasia is Herve Villechaize, the actor well known as Tatoo in the U.S. television series 'Fantasy Island' (Lachman, 2007).

Clinical Features Familial osteoarthropathy of fingers was first described by Thiemann (1909). Allison and Blumberg (1958) described 2 unrelated families in which many members (23 in 1 family and 20 in the other) had painless deformity at the proximal interphalangeal joints beginning in childhood or adolescence. ... Inheritance Allison and Blumberg (1958) stated that the pattern of transmission in the families they reported resembled that of previously reported families, i.e., autosomal dominant inheritance. However, in 1 of their families, 2 children of first-cousin affected parents were much more severely affected than their sibs. ...

Weismann-Netter–Stuhl syndrome Other names Weismann-Netter syndrome, tibioperoneal diaphyseal toxopachyosteosis Weismann-Netter–Stuhl syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. Weismann-Netter–Stuhl syndrome , also known as Weismann-Netter syndrome or tibioperoneal diaphyseal toxopachyosteosis , is a rare disorder characterized by bowing of the lower legs and an abnormal thickening of thinner bone in the leg. [1] The main sign is anterior bowing and posterior cortical thickening of the diaphyses of both the tibiae and fibulae . It is thought to be inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion and is most often bilateral and symmetric in nature. ... Contents 1 Cause 2 Diagnosis 2.1 Radiographic features 3 Management 4 History 5 References 6 External links Cause [ edit ] This condition is currently felt to be a genetic disorder, caused by inheritance of an abnormal gene via autosomal dominant inheritance.

The United States ' President's Council on Bioethics made it clear, for example, in its White Paper of December 2008, that the British concept and clinical criteria are not considered sufficient for the diagnosis of death in the United States of America. [5] Contents 1 Evolution of diagnostic criteria 2 Diagnosis 3 Prognosis and management 4 Criticism 5 References 6 External links Evolution of diagnostic criteria [ edit ] The United Kingdom (UK) criteria were first published by the Conference of Medical Royal Colleges (with advice from the Transplant Advisory Panel) in 1976, as prognostic guidelines. [6] They were drafted in response to a perceived need for guidance in the management of deeply comatose patients with severe brain damage who were being kept alive by mechanical ventilators but showing no signs of recovery. ... It was stated that the irreversible cessation of brainstem function will produce this state and "therefore brainstem death is equivalent to the death of the individual". [2] Diagnosis [ edit ] In the UK, the formal rules for the diagnosis of brainstem death have undergone only minor modifications since they were first published [6] in 1976. The most recent revision of the UK's Department of Health Code of Practice governing use of that procedure for the diagnosis of death [1] reaffirms the preconditions for its consideration. ... There has recently been renewed interest in the possibility of neuronal protection during this phase by use of moderate hypothermia and by correction of the neuroendocrine abnormalities commonly seen in this early stage. [13] Published studies of patients meeting the criteria for brainstem death or whole brain death – the American standard which includes brainstem death diagnosed by similar means – record that even if ventilation is continued after diagnosis, the heart stops beating within only a few hours or days. [14] However, there have been some very long-term survivals [15] and it is noteworthy that expert management can maintain the bodily functions of pregnant brain dead women for long enough to bring them to term. [16] Criticism [ edit ] The diagnostic criteria were originally published for the purpose of identifying a clinical state associated with a fatal prognosis (see above). The change of use, in the UK, to criteria for the diagnosis of death itself was protested from the first. [17] [18] The initial basis for the change of use was the claim that satisfaction of the criteria sufficed for the diagnosis of the death of the brain as a whole, despite the persistence of demonstrable activity in parts of the brain. [19] In 1995, that claim was abandoned [7] and the diagnosis of death (acceptable for legal purposes in the UK in the context of organ procurement for transplantation) by the specified testing of brainstem functions was based on a new definition of death, viz. the permanent loss of the capacity for consciousness and spontaneous breathing. ... There should, perhaps, also be a caveat about possible arousal mechanisms involving the first and second cranial nerves (serving sight and smell) which are not tested when diagnosing brainstem death but which were described in cats in 1935 and 1938. [20] In humans, light flashes have been observed to disturb the sleep-like EEG activity persisting after the loss of all brainstem reflexes and of spontaneous respiration. [26] There is also concern about the permanence of consciousness loss, based on studies in cats, dogs and monkeys which recovered consciousness days or weeks after being rendered comatose by brainstem ablation and on human studies of brainstem stroke syndrome raising thoughts about the "plasticity" of the nervous system. [23] Other theories of consciousness place more stress on the thalamocortical system. [27] Perhaps the most objective statement to be made is that consciousness is not currently understood.

Molecular Genetics In 2 infertile brothers with nonobstructive azoospermia from a consanguineous Iraqi Jewish family (family B), Gershoni et al. (2017) performed whole-genome sequencing and identified homozygosity for a 10-bp deletion in the TEX14 gene (605792.0001) that was not found in controls. ... In 8 Middle Eastern families in which at least 2 brothers had nonobstructive azoospermia (NOA), Fakhro et al. (2018) analyzed whole-exome sequencing data and identified 2 Jordanian brothers who were homozygous for a missense mutation in the TEX14 gene (R85L; 605792.0002).

(2013) reported 13 patients from 9 unrelated families with onset of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome within the first year of life. The infants presented with microangiopathic hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and acute renal failure. ... DGKE was a frequent cause of aHUS in the first year of life (13 (27%) of 49 cases with aHUS) and accounted for 50% of familial disease in this age group (3 of 6 kindreds). ... The findings were important because this was the first genetic cause of aHUS not related to defects in genes encoding proteins in the complement cascade pathway.
