Degenerating heart valves: fill them up with filamin?
Myxoid valvular heart dystrophies are a frequent cause of valvular diseases. They affect approximately 3% of the population and are the most common cause of isolated mitral regurgitations that require surgical repair.1,2 These valvular diseases are a heterogeneous group of disorders and include isolated nonsyndromic valvular diseases, such as idiopathic mitral valve prolapse and the X-linked my...
متن کاملDental Management of Ectodermal Dysplasia Syndrome at an Early Age: A Case Report
Objectives: Ectodermal dysplasia (ED) is a relatively common sex-linked dermatitis characterized by congenital dysplasia of one or more ectodermal structures and their accessory appendages. Common manifestations include fragile skin and nails, defective teeth and salivary glands, frontal bossing with prominent supra orbital ridges, nasal bridge depression and protuberant lips. Teeth are often f...
متن کاملMutations in the gene encoding filamin A as a cause for familial cardiac valvular dystrophy.
BACKGROUND Myxomatous dystrophy of the cardiac valves affects approximately 3% of the population and remains one of the most common indications for valvular surgery. Familial inheritance has been demonstrated with autosomal and X-linked transmission, but no specific molecular abnormalities have been documented in isolated nonsyndromic forms. We have investigated the genetic causes of X-linked m...
متن کاملCase report of multiple valve disease found in triplets.
Valvular heart disease is a multifactorial disorder. Twin studies may help to better understand both genetic and environmental determinants contributing to the development of valve lesions. We describe the case of a 45-year-old female asymptomatic triplet with multiple valvular heart lesions, with a somewhat different pattern between the dizygotic twin pairs compared with the monozygotic twin p...
متن کاملClinical context and mechanism of functional tricuspid regurgitation in patients with and without pulmonary hypertension.
BACKGROUND Functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) with structurally normal valve is of poorly defined mechanisms. Prevalence and clinical context of idiopathic FTR (Id-FTR) (without overt TR cause) are unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS To investigate prevalence, clinical context, and mechanisms specific to FTR types, Id-FTR versus pulmonary hypertension-related (PHTN-FTR, systolic pulmonary pres...
