5. Hereditary Kidney Disorders
Hereditary kidney disorders represent significant risk for the development of end stage renal desease (ESRD). Most of them are recognized in childhood, or prenataly particularly those phenotypicaly expressed as anomalies on ultrasound examination (US) during pregnancy. They represent almost 50% of all fetal malformations detected by US (1). Furthermore many of urinary tract malformations are as...
متن کاملClinical manifestations of hereditary cystic kidney disease.
Genetic mutations of discrete loci are the cause of a diverse array of polycystic kidney disease syndromes which present in distinct, as well as overlapping, phenotypic and hereditary patterns. Since molecular diagnostics are not currently a feasible clinical tool for the diagnosis of most cystic kidney diseases, physicians must rely upon their clinical acumen and knowledge base in order to ide...
متن کاملHereditary colorectal cancer.
The question, "Is cancer hereditary?" has been answered beyond any doubt through the discovery of germ-line cancer-causing mutations in a subset of colorectal cancers (CRCs). Clearly, this authentication of the role of genetics was not solely dependent on molecular genetic studies, since hereditary cancer syndromes such as familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) had been known for at least 100 yea...
متن کاملHereditary nonmelanoma skin cancer.
Cutaneous basal and squamous cell carcinomas are among the most frequent malignancies in the white population, with the annual incidence estimates ranging from 1 million to 3.5 million cases in the United States. These tumors can occur either sporadically or in the context of hereditary genodermatoses with cancer predisposition, such as basal cell nevus syndrome, xeroderma pigmentosum, epidermo...
متن کاملHereditary Prostate Cancer
One of the triumphs of molecular genetics during the past two decades has been the elucidation of the molecular mechanisms responsible for the inherited predisposition for a number of common human cancers. Genes such as BRCA1, BRCA2, VHL, APC and hMSH2—in which changes as small as single nucleotide substitutions result in greatly increased organ-specific cancer risk—have been identified through...
