Genetic Diagnosis of a Lethal Form of Autosomal Recessive Polycystic Kidney Disease
Background Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD; OMIM number 263200) is a severe early onset hereditary form of polycystic kidney and liver disease. Case Report In the current study, we present a consanguineous couple with a history of an affected son with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), hepatic failure and epileptic seizures who died at the age of 8 months. Both parents were h...

متن کاملOsteopetrosis a report of two Iranian patients with autosomal recessive inheritance pattern
In the rare hereditary bone disorder of osteopetrosis, reduced bone resorption function leads to both the development of densely sclerotic fragile bones and progressive obliteration of the marrow spaces and cranial foramina. Marrow obliteration, typically associated with extramedullary hemopoiesis and hepatosplenomegaly, results in anemia and thrombocytopenia and nerve entrapment accounts for p...
متن کاملCranial CT of autosomal recessive osteopetrosis.
Eight infants with radiographic and bone biopsy evidence of autosomal recessive osteopetrosis were evaluated by cranial CT. The clinical presentations and CT characteristics support the theory that this disorder exhibits severe and mild variants. At an early stage the severe variant demonstrates small optic canals, small orbits with proptosis, and a small nasoethmoid complex without significant...
متن کاملIdentification of TCIRG1 and CLCN7 gene mutations in a patient with autosomal recessive osteopetrosis.
Osteopetrosis is a heritable bone disorder that exhibits highly clinical and genetical heterogeneity, and is caused by defective osteoclastic resorption. The three main forms are the autosomal recessive severe (ARO), the intermediate autosomal and the autosomal dominant benign osteopetrosis forms. In the present study, the clinical, biochemical and radiological manifestations were described in ...
