Heterozygote manifestations in X-chromosomal ectodermal dysplasia
About 60-70 % of the heterozygotes of X-linked hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (XLHED) show some clinical manifestations of the disease. Dental abnormalities are key diagnostic features and can be best evaluated at a young age. Compared to controls, carriers have a significantly higher frequency of agenesis of permanent teeth with persistence of deciduous teeth, small teeth resulting in gaps ...
متن کاملCardiac manifestations of Anderson-Fabry disease in heterozygous females.
OBJECTIVES We sought to define the prevalence of cardiac involvement in female patients with Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD). BACKGROUND Anderson-Fabry disease is a rare inborn X-linked lysosomal storage disorder. Globotriaosylceramide (Gb(3)), the major substrate of the deficient alpha-galactosidase A enzyme, accumulates progressively in vulnerable cells, including the cardiovascular system. It...
متن کاملMale neonatal death and progressive weakness and immune deficiency in females: an unknown X linked condition.
We report a family with an undiagnosed X linked condition. The grandmother, two of her three daughters, and one of her grand-daughters have a slowly progressive proximal weakness, brisk reflexes, poor bladder function, static reduced night vision, and IgG2 deficiency. The diagnosis of the three living symptomatic females was "hereditary spastic paraplegia plus". They have lost five male childre...
متن کاملX-linked inheritance in females with chronic granulomatous disease.
Chronic granulomatous disease in males is familial and its transmission is is usually clearly x-linked. The mode of inheritance in females with the syndrome is unknown and the carrier state difficult to identify. Defective polymorphonuclear leukocyte bactericidal activity in this disease is associated with an absence of the respiratory burst generated in stimulated phagocytes and may be detecte...
متن کاملPrenatal sex determination in suspicious cases of X-linked recessive diseases by the amelogenin gene
Objective(s):To determine the fetal discernment in suspected cases of sex linked recessive disease in the first trimester of pregnancy. Materials and Methods: After collection of 100 Chorionic Villi samples, the DNAs were extracted and baby gender was determined. Meanwhile, after increasing the sensitivity, the system was able to detect the sex of each cell which was obtained by biopsy. Resul...
