Metacarpophalangeal pattern profile analysis in fragile X syndrome.
We analyzed the metacarpophalangeal pattern profile (MCPP) on 18 male individuals from 16 families with fragile X--fra (X), or Martin-Bell--syndrome and calculated a mean syndrome profile. Fourteen of 18 individuals with fra (X) syndrome had significant positive correlations which indicated clinical homogeneity. Discriminant analysis of individuals with fra (X) syndrome compared with a sample o...
متن کاملMetacarpophalangeal pattern (MCPP) profile analysis in a family with triphalangeal thumb.
Triphalangeal thumb (TPT) is a rare congenital disorder characterised by a long, finger-like thumb with three phalanges instead of two. It can occur as an isolated defect, in association with other abnormalities of the hands and feet, or as a part of a syndrome. Sporadic cases have been described, but it is usually inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. In order to examine skeletal morpholog...
متن کاملMetacarpophalangeal pattern profile analysis of a sample drawn from a North Wales population.
Sexual dimorphism and population differences were investigated using metacarpophalangeal pattern profile (MCPP) analysis. Although it is an anthropometric technique, MCPP analysis is more frequently used in genetic syndrome analysis and has been under-used in the study of human groups. The present analysis used a series of hand radiographs from Gwynedd, North Wales, to make comparisons, first, ...
متن کاملI-5: Semen Analysis - Clinical Laboratories; Is Standardization Applied?
Reduced semen quality is commonly claimed to be one of the main signs of male infertility and thus, analysis of semen is recommended as the cornerstone of a male fertility investigation. However, to control possible sources of physiological and methodological variation, and to generate reliable information on semen quality that can be accurately compared across different laboratories, semen ana...
متن کاملCraniofacial anthropometric pattern profile in hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia--application in detection of gene carriers.
Hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (HED) is characterized by clinical manifestations of severe hypodontia or anodontia, hypotrichosis, hypohidrosis, and specific facial appearance. Affected males show complete expression of clinical features of this condition. Their mothers, who are gene carriers, express only some signs, which are usually very mild. Currently available clinical methods are not ...
