Syndromic Intellectual Disability Caused by a Novel Truncating Variant in AHDC1: A Case Report
Mutations in the AHDC1 gene are associated with the Xia-Gibbs syndrome (XGS), a sporadic genetic disorder characterised by developmental delay, intellectual disability, hypotonia, obstructive sleep apnoea, dysmorphic facial features, and cerebral malformations with plagiocephaly. Here we report the case of a 13-year-old Colombian female patient with a history of developmental delay, speech dela...
متن کاملAmyloid Cardiomyopathy in Hereditary Transthyretin V30M Amyloidosis - Impact of Sex and Amyloid Fibril Composition.
PURPOSE Transthyretin V30M (ATTR V30M) amyloidosis is a phenotypically diverse disease with symptoms ranging from predominant neuropathy to exclusive cardiac manifestations. The aims of this study were to determine the dispersion of the two types of fibrils found in Swedish ATTR V30M patients -Type A consisting of a mixture of truncated and full length ATTR fibrils and type B fibrils consisting...
متن کاملThe association between small dense low density lipoprotein,apolipoprotein B, apolipoprotein B/apolipoprotein A1 ratio and coronary artery stenosis
Abstract Background: Recently, small dense low density lipoprotein (sdLDL) has been highlighted as a new risk factor for the coronary artery disease (CAD).Small dense LDLs are believed to be atherogenic since these particles are taken up more easily by arterial wall. They are readily oxidized and have reduced affinity for low density lipoprotein (LDL) receptor and increased affinity...
متن کاملHereditary Renal Amyloidosis Associated With a Novel Apolipoprotein A-II Variant
To the Editor: Systemic amyloidosis is characterized by the extracellular deposition of misfolded proteins as insoluble amyloid fibrils in various tissues. The familial forms of amyloidosis (AF) comprise a group of autosomal dominant diseases associated with mutations in a number of genes encoding amyloid precursor proteins. These diseases collectively exhibit various phenotypes, including ages...
متن کاملRestrictive cardiomyopathy caused by chloroquine.
A 59 year old white woman who had been treated with chloroquine phosphate for 25 years presented with signs of congestive heart failure and was diagnosed as having restrictive cardiomyopathy by non-invasive methods. Electron microscopy of a biopsy specimen of skeletal muscle showed lesions compatible with chloroquine myopathy. The patient died five weeks after presentation. Electron microscopy ...
