Female factor IX deficiency due to maternally inherited X-inactivation.
X-chromosome inactivation is normally a random event that is regulated by the X chromosome itself. Rarely, females are affected by X-linked disorders from extremely skewed X-chromosome inactivation. Here, we report a family with hemophilia B with female expression through inherited X skewing that appears to be independent of either X chromosome. This finding suggests the possibility of a domina...
متن کاملInherited susceptibility to uterine leiomyomas and renal cell cancer.
Herein we report the clinical, histopathological, and molecular features of a cancer syndrome with predisposition to uterine leiomyomas and papillary renal cell carcinoma. The studied kindred included 11 family members with uterine leiomyomas and two with uterine leiomyosarcoma. Seven individuals had a history of cutaneous nodules, two of which were confirmed to be cutaneous leiomyomatosis. The...
متن کاملIdentification and management of inherited cancer susceptibility.
Identification of inherited cancer-predisposing genes offers opportunities for cancer prevention. Inherited susceptibility genes have been identified, primarily through studies of unusual cancer cases and families but also through general population studies. Examples include the RB1 gene for retinoblastoma; the WT1 gene for Wilms' tumor; germline p53 mutations in families with the Li-Fraumeni s...
متن کاملInherited susceptibility for aggressive prostate cancer.
Whether or not there is inherited basis for prostate cancer aggressiveness is not clear, but advances in DNA analysis should provide an answer to this question in the very near future.
متن کاملInherited cancer susceptibility syndromes in paediatric practice.
Over the last decade there have been rapid advances in our knowledge about the molecular basis of many inherited disorders. Molecular testing is now available for many conditions and may assist in the management of the individual and their extended family. One area where the use of genetic testing has expanded rapidly is in the area of hereditary cancer, particularly in relation to hereditary b...
