Tropical calcific pancreatitis and fibrocalculus pancreatic diabetes in Bangladesh.
The relationship between tropical calcific pancreatitis (TCP) and fibrocalculus pancreatic diabetes (FCPD) is still unclear. The clinical, biochemical and radiological data of age-matched TCP and FCPD subjects have been briefly discussed in the present review. Fibrocalculus pancreatic diabetes patients present with a significantly lower BMI compared with TCP patients. Analysis of the family his...
متن کاملAnomalous pancreaticobiliary ductal union in tropical calcific pancreatitis.
CONTEXT Tropical calcific pancreatitis is unique to developing countries with of unknown origin. OBJECTIVE We evaluated the pattern of pancreaticobiliary ductal union in patients with tropical calcific pancreatitis. PATIENTS Twenty-one patients with tropical calcific pancreatitis were compared to 174 control subjects with no pancreaticobiliary disease and 35 patients with alcohol-induced ch...
متن کاملGenetic and phenotypic heterogeneity in pattern dystrophy.
BACKGROUND The pattern dystrophies (PD) represent a clinically heterogeneous family of inherited macular diseases frequently caused by mutations in the peripherin/RDS gene. Most previous studies have detailed the clinical findings in single families, making it difficult to derive data from which progression and visual outcome can be generalised. METHODS Families were ascertained and clinicall...
متن کاملAarskog-Scott syndrome: phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity
Aarskog-Scott syndrome (AAS) is a rare developmental disorder which primarily affects males and has a relative prevalence of 1 in 25,000 in the general population. AAS patients usually present with developmental complications including short stature and facial, skeletal and urogenital anomalies. The spectrum of genotype-phenotype correlations in AAS is unclear and mutations of the FGD1 gene on ...
متن کاملGenetic heterogeneity in tuberous sclerosis: phenotypic correlations.
There is increasing evidence for genetic heterogeneity in tuberous sclerosis (TSC) on the basis of linkage analysis in affected kindreds. We have performed a detailed assessment of an affected South African family in which there is no evidence of linkage to chromosome 9 markers. The affected persons have atypical clinical features, namely prominent nuchal skin tags, a confetti pattern of hypopi...
