Genetic link between renal birth defects and congenital heart disease.
Structural birth defects in the kidney and urinary tract are observed in 0.5% of live births and are a major cause of end-stage renal disease, but their genetic aetiology is not well understood. Here we analyse 135 lines of mice identified in large-scale mouse mutagenesis screen and show that 29% of mutations causing congenital heart disease (CHD) also cause renal anomalies. The renal anomalies...

Thomas Malthus, almost a century earlier had raised the fear that uncontrolled human population growth was unsustainable and would be challenged. And in 1877, news was spreading around the world of appa...
متن کاملGenetic Susceptibility to Birth Defects in Humans:
ADVANCES IN HUMAN GENETIC RESEARCH With the relentless progress of the Human Genome Project, by the year 2001, most-if not all-of the estimated 100,000 human genes will have been found (Collins, '98). Close to 10,000 genes have already been cataloged (Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man, '98), and tests for more than 700 genes are already available in medical practice (Pagon, '98). The genes id...
متن کاملAgent Orange Birth Defects
Sprayed extensively by the US military in Vietnam, Agent Orange contained a dioxin contaminant later found to be toxic to humans [7]. Despite reports by Vietnamese citizens and Vietnam War veterans of increased rates of stillbirths and birth defects [8] in their children, studies in the 1980s showed conflicting evidence for an association between the two. In 1996, the US National Academy of Sci...
