متن کاملCongenital Familial Cardiac Conduction Defects.
THE familial occurrence of conduction system disturbances has been reported infrequently in medical literature. Morquio, in 1901,1 reported clinical signs of impaired atrioventricular conduction in five boys in a family of eight children. There was no evidence of consanguinity and the defect did not occur in immediate ancestors nor in collateral branches of the family. In 1903, Sir William Osle...
متن کاملFamilial Aggregation and Heritability of Wuchereria bancrofti Infection.
BACKGROUND The familial recurrence risk of lymphatic filariasis (LF) is unknown. This case study aimed to evaluate the familial susceptibility to infection with Wuchereria bancrofti and to microfilaremia in a village of the Republic of Congo. METHODS The heritability and intrafamilial correlation coefficients were assessed for both W. bancrofti infection and microfilaremia by controlling for ...
متن کاملFamilial Congenital Heart Disease
GENETIC imbalance, the result of aneuploidy or chromosomal structural rearrangements, is now recognized as a cause of anomalous embryogenesis. In general, the anomalies have been extensive and severe when the chromosomal abnormalities have affected segments lengthy enough to be detected by use of currently available techniques. The purposes of the present study were: (1) to determine the incide...
