Argentina: Onset Addiction Occurs at age 8

Retinopathy of prematurity: age at onset.

The age at which retinopathy of prematurity was first seen was determined in 143 infants. In all, the initial ophthalmological examination was normal. Birth weights varied from 630 to 2700 g and gestational ages from 24.5 to 40.0 weeks. The median postnatal age at which acute retinopathy of prematurity was first seen was 51 and 40 days for those less than 28 and greater than or equal to 28 week...

The Age-at-onset of Leprosy.

Age at onset curves of retinitis pigmentosa.

OBJECTIVE To calculate age at onset curves of retinitis pigmentosa (RP) to resolve the difficulty in calculating the recurrence risk in a family. Retinitis pigmentosa is a common hereditary retinal disease that leads to blindness. It is a slow-onset disease, and family members of patients sometimes develop RP later. METHODS We studied 370 patients with typical RP. The age at onset was defined...

Age at onset and Parkinson disease phenotype.

OBJECTIVE To explore clinical phenotype and characteristics of Parkinson disease (PD) at different ages at onset in recently diagnosed patients with untreated PD. METHODS We have analyzed baseline data from the Parkinson's Progression Markers Initiative database. Four hundred twenty-two patients with a diagnosis of PD confirmed by DaTSCAN imaging were divided into 4 groups according to age at...

Age at onset in Huntington's disease and methylation at D4S95.

Age at onset in Huntington's disease (HD) is variable and is influenced by parental sex, paternal age, and genetic background. Several recent models have tried to explain this variable expressivity by invoking parental imprinting and related aspects of epigenetic inheritance. Some of these mechanisms may result in variable DNA methylation at or near the HD gene. We show here that methylation at...
