BACKGROUND Different viewpoints exist about lipid screening in all children or only in children with positive family history (FH) of premature cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) or hypercholesterolemia. This systematic review and meta-analysis aim to assess the effectiveness of lipid screening in children and adolescents according to the existence of positive FH of CVD risk factors. MATERIALS AND...
The purpose of the present study was to evaluate prognostic factors in patients with nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) from the endemic area of southern China who have a positive family history (FH) of cancer. Retrospective analysis of 600 patients with nondisseminated NPC and a positive FH was conducted. The prognostic value of different factors for overall survival (OS), distant metastasis-free ...
BACKGROUND Technological advances raise the possibility of systematic population-based genetic testing for cancer-predisposing mutations, but it is uncertain whether benefits outweigh disadvantages. We directly compared the psychological/quality-of-life consequences of such an approach to family history (FH)-based testing. METHODS In a randomized controlled trial of BRCA1/2 gene-mutation test...
Whether positive family history (FH) of essential hypertension (EH) in normotensive youth is associated with increased left ventricular mass (LVM) and hemodynamic, anthropometric, and demographic parameters previously associated with increased LVM in adults is unknown. To examine these issues, 323 healthy youth (mean age, 13.6 +/- 1.3 years), 194 with positive FH of EH (61% African Americans, 3...
Familial hyperaldosteronism type II (FH-II) is characterized by autosomal dominant inheritance and hypersecretion of aldosterone due to adrenocortical hyperplasia or an aldosterone-producing adenoma; unlike FH type I (FH-I), hyperaldosteronism in FH-II is not suppressible by dexamethasone. Of a total of 17 FH-II families with 44 affected members, we studied a large kindred with 7 affected membe...
OBJECTIVE The effect of risk factors on carotid atherosclerosis in heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is unclear. We evaluated carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) by sonography in relation to classical and emergent risk factors in a large FH cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS Risk factors and carotid IMT were assessed in 196 asymptomatic subjects aged > or =25 years fulfilling strict d...
Familial hypercholesterolaemia (FH) is an autosomal dominant inherited lipoprotein disorder characterised by raised plasma low density lipoprotein (LDL) levels, xanthomas, premature coronary artery disease, and a family history of one or more of these. Homozygous FH occurs in one in a million people and they are severely affected, while heterozygotes are moderately affected and occur at a frequ...
OBJECTIVE To assess whether family history (FH) of Alzheimer disease (AD) alone influences AD biomarker abnormalities. DESIGN Adult Children Study. SETTING Washington University's Charles F. and Joanne Knight Alzheimer's Disease Research Center. PARTICIPANTS A total of 269 cognitively normal middle- to older-aged individuals with and without an FH for AD. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES Clinical ...
First-degree family history (FH) of sporadic Alzheimer's disease and the apolipoprotein E epsilon4 allele (APOE4) are risk factors for Alzheimer's disease that may affect brain function prior to onset of clinical symptoms. In this functional MRI (fMRI) study, we used an episodic recognition task that required discrimination of previously viewed (PV) and novel (NV) faces to examine differences i...
This study investigates the role of two nonsynonymous single nucleotide polymorphisms in DNA repair genes, X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1)-R399Q and X-ray repair cross-complementing group 3 (XRCC3)-T241M, in breast cancer. Incident cases of invasive breast cancer in Caucasian women [n = 402, mean age = 45.7 (SD = 6.2) years] and female Caucasian controls [n = 402, mean age = 45...
