Genetic analyses of pyloric stenosis suggesting a specific maternal effect.
Data on pyloric stenosis are analysed by multiple threshold methods that incorporate the sex effect. The polygenic model of inheritance is rejected; the single major locus model can only account for 37% of the cases having a genetic aetiology, requiring an environmental effect to account for the remainder of the cases. A maternal-fetal interaction for gastrin production and sensitivity is postu...

متن کاملEpidermolysis Bullosa associated with pyloric stenosis: A case report
Epidermolysis bullosa are a group of hereditary skin diseases manifested as blisters on the sites of trauma to the skin. According to the level of blister development, epidermolysis bullosa are divided into the following groups: epidermolysis bullosa simplex, junctional epidermolysis bullosa and dystrophic epidermolysis bullosa. The latter two groups are associated with poorer prognosis and hig...
متن کاملIs maternal gastrin important in congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis?
The birth of a normal infant to a woman with Zollinger-Ellison syndrome is described. The cord blood serum gastrin was very elevated. This suggests that maternal gastrin can cross the placenta, a fact previously in doubt in man. The infant did not develop congenital hypertrophic pyloric stenosis. This is further evidence that raised blood gastrin in utero is not an important causative factor in...
متن کاملGenetic and Epidemiological Studies of Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis
Infantile Hypertrophic Pyloric Stenosis (IHPS) is a condition of early infancy characterized by thickening of the pyloric muscle resulting in obstruction of gastric outflow. It affects 1-3/1000 live births and is one of the most common causes of gastrointestinal obstruction in infants. IHPS is developed under influence of both genetic and environmental factors, but the exact pathogenesis is unk...
