Hypochondrogenesis is considered an autosomal dominant disorder because the affected gene is located on an autosome , and only one copy of the altered gene is necessary to cause the condition.
Invasive lobular carcinoma is breast cancer arising from the lobules of the mammary glands . [1] It accounts for 5-10% of invasive breast cancer . [2] [3] The histologic patterns include: [4] [5] [6] Type Prevalence Description Image Classical 40% round or ovoid cells with little cytoplasm in a single-file infiltrating pattern, sometimes concentrically giving a targetoid pattern Mixed 40% No dominant pattern Solid 10% Sheets of classical-appearing cells with little intervening stroma Alveolar 5% Aggregates of classical-appearing cells Tubulolobular 5% Cells form microtubules in >90% of tumor (smaller than in tubular carcinoma) Pleomorphic Classical-appearing but with pleomorphic cells Histopathology of invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC), next to lobular carcinoma in situ (LCIS).
To determine whether cancer has spread to the lymph nodes near your breast, your surgeon identifies the first few lymph nodes that receive the lymph drainage from your cancer. ... Your doctor may ask: When did you first begin experiencing symptoms? Have your symptoms been continuous or occasional?
A rare endocrine disease characterized by neonatal hypoglycemia, prolonged cholestatic jaundice, and seizures. Typical are low plasma ACTH and cortisol levels in the absence of structural pituitary defects, and sometimes low partial growth hormone deficiency is associated.
A rare biliary tract disease characterized by loss of interlobular bile ducts resulting in chronic cholestasis, without any known cause. Loss of less than 50% of interlobular bile ducts is associated with a mild disease course, while loss of the majority of ducts results in a severe form, potentially leading to cirrhosis and liver failure. Patients typically present as young or middle-aged adults with episodic jaundice, pruritus, and elevated liver enzymes.
The patients of Malpuech et al. (1988) were brother and sister. The first-born, the male, died; pathologic findings included bilateral adrenal hypoplasia.
Although the authors considered autosomal dominant inheritance with variable expression and incomplete penetrance likely, mitochondrial inheritance could not be excluded because full-blown disease was transmitted only by females.
A rare, genetic, mitochondrial DNA-related mitochondrial myopathy disorder characterized by slowly progressive muscular weakness (proximal greater than distal), predominantly involving the facial muscles and scapular girdle, associated with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. Neurological involvement and congenital myopathy may be variably observed.
CFEOM1 and CFEOM3 are inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, which means one copy of the altered gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the disorder.
RAS-associated autoimmune leukoproliferative disease (RALD) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by monocytosis, autoimmune cytopenias, lymphoproliferation, hepatosplenomegaly, and hypergammaglobulinemia. Epidemiology Prevalence of this disorder is not known. It is extremely rare with fewer than 20 patients reported to date. Clinical description Age of onset of the clinical signs is invariably in infancy or early childhood. Most patients have atypical features such as elevated counts for cells of myeloid origin (monocytosis and granulocytosis) making their clinical presentation indistinguishable from juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML; see this term). Many patients undergo repeated bone marrow assessments showing normal cytogenetics despite dysplastic marrow morphology.
It shares many features with autoimmune lymphoproliferative syndrome and is caused by somatic mutations in NRAS or KRAS . This was first described by investigators João Oliveira and Michael Lenardo from the National Institutes of Health . [1] Contents 1 Presentation 2 Genetics 2.1 Function 3 Diagnosis 4 Management 5 Research 6 References 7 External links Presentation [ edit ] Clinically, RALD is characterized by splenomegaly, a relatively mild degree of peripheral lymphadenopathy, and autoimmunity.
De Lairesse, himself a painter and art theorist, had congenital syphilis that deformed his face and eventually blinded him. [72] The origin of syphilis is disputed. [2] Syphilis was present in the Americas before European contact, [73] and it may have been carried from the Americas to Europe by the returning crewmen from Christopher Columbus 's voyage to the Americas , or it may have existed in Europe previously but gone unrecognized until shortly after Columbus's return. [37] [74] These are the Columbian and pre-Columbian hypotheses, respectively, with the Columbian hypothesis better supported by the evidence. [37] [75] [76] The first written records of an outbreak of syphilis in Europe occurred in 1494 or 1495 in Naples, Italy , during a French invasion ( Italian War of 1494–98 ). [10] [37] Since it was claimed to have been spread by French troops, it was initially called the "French disease" by the people of Naples. [77] In 1530, the pastoral name "syphilis" (the name of a character) was first used by the Italian physician and poet Girolamo Fracastoro as the title of his Latin poem in dactylic hexameter describing the ravages of the disease in Italy. [78] [79] It was also called the "Great Pox". [80] [81] In the 16th through 19th centuries, syphilis was one of the largest public health burdens in prevalence , symptoms, and disability, [82] : 208–209 [83] although records of its true prevalence were generally not kept because of the fearsome and sordid status of sexually transmitted diseases in those centuries. [82] : 208–209 According to a 2020 study, more than 20% of individual in the age range 15–34 years in late 18th century London were treated for syphilis. [84] At the time the causative agent was unknown but it was well known that it was spread sexually and also often from mother to child. ... Mercury compounds and isolation were commonly used, with treatments often worse than the disease. [80] The causative organism, Treponema pallidum , was first identified by Fritz Schaudinn and Erich Hoffmann , in 1905. [85] The first effective treatment for syphilis was Arsphenamine , discovered by Sahachiro Hata in 1909, during a survey of hundreds of newly synthesized organic arsenical compounds led by Paul Ehrlich . It was manufactured and marketed from 1910 under the trade name Salvarsan by Hoechst AG . [86] This organoarsenic compound was the first modern chemotherapeutic agent . ... We deeply regret that it happened, and we apologize to all the individuals who were affected by such abhorrent research practices." [103] The experiments were led by physician John Charles Cutler who also participated in the late stages of the Tuskegee syphilis experiment.

Not to be confused with canker sore . Chancre on the underside of the penis A chancre ( / ˈ ʃ æ ŋ k ər / SHANG -kər ) [1] is a painless genital ulcer most commonly formed during the primary stage of syphilis . This infectious lesion forms approximately 21 days after the initial exposure to Treponema pallidum , the gram-negative spirochaete bacterium yielding syphilis. Chancres transmit the sexually transmissible disease of syphilis through direct physical contact. These ulcers usually form on or around the anus , mouth , penis and vagina . Chancres may diminish between four and eight weeks [2] without the application of medication.
Only the site where the infection has first come into contact with the skin is affected. ... The lesion slowly atrophies over several weeks or months, with the skin becoming first thin and wrinkled and then, if untreated, completely dry and hairless. [46] Cause [ edit ] Main article: Lyme disease microbiology Deer tick life cycle Borrelia bacteria, the causative agent of Lyme disease, magnified Ixodes scapularis , the primary vector of Lyme disease in eastern North America Tick Ixodes ricinus , developmental stages Lyme disease is caused by spirochetes , spiral bacteria from the genus Borrelia . ... A two-tiered protocol is recommended by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC): the sensitive ELISA test is performed first, and if it is positive or equivocal, then the more specific Western blot is run. [108] The immune system takes some time to produce antibodies in quantity. After Lyme infection onset, antibodies of types IgM and IgG usually can first be detected respectively at 2–4 weeks and 4–6 weeks, and peak at 6–8 weeks. [109] When an EM rash first appears, detectable antibodies may not be present. ... There was no scientific justification for the first OspA vaccine LYMErix being pulled." [161] Vaccines have been formulated and approved for prevention of Lyme disease in dogs.
The condition is named for the location in which it was first described, the town of Lyme, Connecticut. ... Some of the genes thought to be associated with the development of antibiotic-refractory Lyme arthritis provide instructions for making proteins called Toll-like receptors. As one of the first lines of defense against infection, Toll-like receptors recognize patterns that are common to many foreign invaders, rather than recognizing a specific invader, and stimulate a quick immune response that triggers inflammation.
Women are most susceptible to malaria infection early on in the first trimester but the risk of infection decreases in the second trimester due to the development of antibodies to the infectious agent over time following the initial exposure. ... For infection caused by P. falciparum , the WHO recommends during the first trimester a treatment consisting of both Quinine and Clindamycin for a duration of 7 days. ... Moreover, studies have shown that women acquire immunity to PAM through antibody recognition of the VAR2CSA domain, also known as VSA PAM , after exposure during their first pregnancy. By measuring circulating levels of IgG antibodies that presumably target VAR2SCA, the study demonstrated that subsequent pregnancies confer progressively greater protection to PAM. ...

Outbreaks have become more common due to the high density and frequent movement of flocks from intensive poultry production. Influenza A/ H5N1 was first isolated from a goose in China in 1996. ... The mortality rate for humans with H5N1 is 60%. [ citation needed ] Since the first human H5N1 outbreak occurred in 1997, there has been an increasing number of HPAI H5N1 bird-to-human transmissions, leading to clinically severe and fatal human infections. ... Exposure routes and other disease transmission characteristics, such as genetic and immunological factors that may increase the likelihood of infection, are not clearly understood. [26] The first known transmission of H5N1 to a human occurred in Hong Kong in 1997, when there was an outbreak of 18 human cases; 6 deaths were confirmed. ...

A rare, infectious disease characterized by variable severity and outcome, ranging from mild upper respiratory tract infection with fever and cough, to influenza-like illness with rapid progression to severe pneumonia, sepsis with shock, acute respiratory distress syndrome and even death. Additional manifestations may include conjunctivitis, nausea, abdominal pain, diarrhea, vomiting, multiple organ dysfunction, and encephalopathy.
Virtually all patients develop medullary nephrocalcinosis within the first few weeks of life. Patients with type 2 genotype present with a transient hyperkalemic acidosis in the neonatal period; they later manifest with a less severe hypokalemic alkalosis.
X-linked hypertrichosis Specialty Dermatology X-linked hypertrichosis is a hereditary disorders characterized by generalized congenital hypertrichosis and thick eyebrows . [1] X-linked congenital generalized hypertrichosis (CGH), is an extremely rare condition that is primarily characterized by universal overgrowth of terminal hair. It was first mapped in chromosome Xq24-q27.1 in a Mexican family; however, the underlying genetic facts remain unknown. [2] See also [ edit ] Generalized hyperhidrosis List of cutaneous conditions References [ edit ] ^ Rapini, Ronald P.; Bolognia, Jean L.; Jorizzo, Joseph L. (2007).
X-linked congenital generalized hypertrichosis is a rare congenital (present at birth) skin disease. It is characterized by hair overgrowth on the entire body in males, and mild and asymmetric hair overgrowth in females. It is associated with mild facial abnormalities (including nasal openings that are tipped upwards and moderate protrusion of the jaw) and occasional teeth anomalies and deafness. It is caused by a specific abnormality of the X chromosome. Inheritance is X-linked . It is important to know if the disease occurs alone (is an isolated form), or if it is part of a genetic syndrome .
X-linked congenital generalized hypertrichosis is an extremely rare type of hypertrichosis lanuginosa congenita, a congenital skin disease, which is characterized by hair overgrowth on the entire body in males, and mild and asymmetric hair overgrowth in females. It is associated with a mild facial dysmorphism (anterverted nostrils, moderate prognathism), and, in a kindred, it was also associated with dental anomalies and deafness.
An extra full copy of chromosome 20 in all of a person's cells is rare, and almost all fetuses with this do not survive past the first trimester of pregnancy. The presence of an extra copy of only part of chromosome 20 is called partial trisomy 20; and an extra copy of chromosome 20 in only some of a person's cells is called mosaic trisomy 20.
Mosaic trisomy 20 is a rare chromosomal anomaly syndrome with a highly variable phenotype ranging from normal (in the majority of cases) to a mild, subtle phenotype principally characterized by spinal abnormalities (i.e. stenosis, vertebral fusion, and kyphosis), hypotonia, lifelong constipation, sloped shoulders, skin pigmentation abnormalities (i.e. linear and whorled nevoid hypermelanosis) and significant learning disabilities despite normal intelligence. More severe phenotypes, with patients presenting psychomotor and speech delay, mild facial dysmorphism, cardiac (i.e. ventricular septal defect, dysplastic tricuspid mitral valve) and renal anomalies (e.g. horseshoe kidneys), have also been reported.

( October 2010 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) Desmosterolosis Other names Deficiency of 3beta-hydroxysterol delta24-reductase [1] Desmosterol Desmosterolosis is a defect in cholesterol biosynthesis. [2] It results in an accumulation of desmosterol and a variety of associated symptoms . [3] Only two cases have been reported as of 2007. [4] The condition is due to inactivating mutations in 24-dehydrocholesterol reductase . [5] Certain anticholesterolemic and antiestrogenic drugs such as triparanol , ethamoxytriphetol , and clomifene have been found to inhibit conversion of desmosterol into cholesterol and to induce desmosterolosis, for instance cataracts .

Desmosterolosis is a condition that is characterized by neurological problems, such as brain abnormalities and developmental delay, and can also include other signs and symptoms. Children with desmosterolosis have delayed speech and motor skills (such as sitting and walking). Later in childhood, some affected individuals are able to walk with support; verbal communication is often limited to a few words or phrases. Common brain abnormalities in desmosterolosis include malformation of the tissue that connects the left and right halves of the brain (the corpus callosum) and loss of white matter, which consists of nerve fibers covered by a fatty substance called myelin . People with desmosterolosis commonly have muscle stiffness (spasticity) and stiff, rigid joints (arthrogryposis) affecting their hands and feet.
A number sign (#) is used with this entry because desmosterolosis is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the DHCR24 gene (606418) on chromosome 1p32. Description Desmosterolosis is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by multiple congenital anomalies and elevated levels of the cholesterol precursor desmosterol in plasma, tissue, and cultured cells (summary by Waterham et al., 2001). Clinical Features FitzPatrick et al. (1998) reported the case of an infant with multiple lethal congenital malformations and osteosclerosis in whom there was generalized accumulation of an abnormal neutral sterol and a relative deficiency of cholesterol. The sterol was identified by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) as desmosterol, a biosynthetic precursor of cholesterol. The infant had macrocephaly, hypoplastic nasal bridge, thick alveolar ridges, gingival nodules, cleft palate, total anomalous pulmonary venous drainage, ambiguous genitalia, short limbs, and generalized osteosclerosis.
Spondyloepimetaphyseal dysplasia-abnormal dentition syndrome is a rare primary bone dysplasia disorder characterized by the association of dental anomalies (oligodontia with pointed incisors) and generalized platyspondyly with epiphyseal and metaphyseal involvement. Thin tapering fingers and accentuated palmar creases are additional features.
In normal conditions all primary teeth and crypts of permanent first molars are visible on radiography at birth and permanent teeth crowns (except third molars) at 6 years of age.
It rarely occurs in primary teeth (also known as deciduous, milk, first and baby teeth) and the most commonly affected are the adult second premolars and the upper lateral incisors. ... Among the members of homeobox genes, MSX1 and MSX2 are crucial in mediating direct epithelial-mesenchymal interactions during tooth development by expressing in regions of condensing ectomesenchyme in the tooth germ. [37] MSX1 mutations have been identified as one of the contributing factors of missing second premolars, third molars, with a small percentage of first molars. MSX1 is less likely to cause anterior agenesis. [37] [38] [39] Heterozygous mutations in PAX9 (paired box gene 9) could arrest tooth morphogenesis as it plays a role of transcription the gene expressed in tooth mesenchyme at the bud stage during tooth development. [40] [41] A study showed that single nucleotide polymorphisms in PAX9 were highly associated with missing upper lateral incisors. [36] AXIN2 [ edit ] AXIN2 (AXIS inhibition protein 2) gene is negative regulator of the Wnt signalling pathway, which is important in regulating cell fate, proliferation, differentiation and apoptosis. [42] It's polymorphic variant may be associated with hypodontia such as missing lower incisors or in a more severe form of agenesis like oligontia (lack of six or more permanent teeth). [43] [44] EDA [ edit ] The EDA provides instructions for making a protein called ectodysplasin A. [45] It encodes transmembrane protein that is part of TNF (tumour necrosis factor) family of ligands. ... The familiar or sporadic type of isolations are more frequently reported than syndromic type. Isolated cases autosomal dominant, [48] [49] autosomal recessive [50] [51] or X-linked [52] inheritance patterns may have an impact on the isolation conditions in expressing variation of both penetration and expressivity of traits. [53] Mutations in MSX, PAX9 and TGFA genes are known to cause congenitally missing teeth in some racial groups. ... PMID 10842107 . ^ Svinhufvud E, Myllärniemi S, Norio R (December 1988).

Clinical Features Cramer (1947) and Ribble (1931) observed affected sisters, and Warr (1938) described parental consanguinity. The primary dentition was not affected and no associated abnormalities were noted. Gorlin (1979) knew of at least 8 reports of complete absence of the permanent dentition with the entire primary dentition present and erupted at a normal time. Gorlin (1979) and Gorlin et al. (1980) presented evidence of autosomal recessive inheritance, including multiple affected sibs and consanguineous parents. On the basis of 2 families in which both parents had pegged or missing maxillary lateral incisors (150400), Witkop (1987) concluded that agenesis of the permanent teeth can be an expression of the homozygous state of the mutated gene.
From the 60 children who had missing permanent teeth, 15.5% were female and 8.8% were males. [10] A case study conducted in 2016 of a 6 year old boy presented with anodontia. [11] There was no family history of anodontia and the patient did not present any other symptoms for ectodermal dysplasia. [11] It was observed the hypodontia was present in the maxillary arch and the only teeth present were the left primary first molar and the bilateral primary second molars. [11] It was also observed that the buccal mucosa , palate , and floor of the mouth were considered normal. [11] The patient proceeded with oral rehabilitation and give removable denture to wear. [11] The patient struggled in the beginning to keep wearing the denture until gradually learning to adjust to it. [11] The family reported no problems with retention and began a monthly recall visit in order to monitor any eruptions of teeth or adjustments that needed to be made. [11] Improvements in speech skills, communication, and self esteem were also observed after placement of the denture. [11] Another case study in 2013 of an eight year old boy who reported missing teeth, difficulty chewing, and difficulty speaking was seen to have other symptoms of ectodermal dysplasia. [12] The father confirmed there is a family history of missing teeth. [12] The patient also had sensitivity to heat, absence of sweating, dry skin, absent eyebrows and eyelashes, hyper pigmentation , and many other ectodermal dysplasia symptoms. [12] After a full examination, the patient was diagnosed with complete anodontia. [12] The patient was treated with a complete set of removable dentures. [12] After the dentures were given, the patient's facial presentation and expressions improved. [12] The patient was also set up for recall follow ups every six months.
Anodontia is a dental condition characterized by complete absence of teeth. The primary (baby) or permanent (adult) teeth may be involved. Anodontia is extremely rare when present in a pure form (without associated abnormalities). In most cases, the phenomenon is associated with a group of conditions called the ectodermal dysplasias . In these cases, abnormalities are also noted in the hair, nails, and sweat glands. Anodontia is an autosomal recessive condition. A specific gene has not yet been identified.
After correction for the multiple traits and genetic locations studied, the global genomewide P value was 0.046. This was said to be the first identity-by-descent regression analysis of hypertension, and it demonstrated the value of this approach for the incorporation of additional phenotypic information in genetic studies of complex traits.
