’s syndrome heterozygotes in Japan
Werner’s syndrome is an autosomal recessive disease that causes premature ageing accompanied by an increased susceptibility to cancer. The causative gene (W R N) codes for a DNA helicase. Worldwide, 1200 patients have been reported from 1904 to 1996; 845 from Japan. Patients are distributed all over Japan. But how widely distributed is the mutated WRN gene in the general population? We previous...
متن کاملhereditary parkinsonism syndrome
parkinsonism is used to describe a syndrome manifested by any combination of six cardinal features: tremor at rest, rigidity, bradykinesia, loss of postural reflexes, flexed posture and the freezing. decreased dopaminergic neurotransmission in the basal ganglia is the core biochemical pathology in parkinsonism. hereditary parkinsonism includes various heredodegenerative diseases such as hallerv...
متن کاملVascular Parkinsonism: deconstructing a syndrome.
Progressive ambulatory impairment and abnormal white matter (WM) signal on neuroimaging come together under the diagnostic umbrella of vascular parkinsonism (VaP). A critical appraisal of the literature, however, suggests that (1) no abnormal structural imaging pattern is specific to VaP; (2) there is poor correlation between brain MRI hyperintensities and microangiopathic brain disease and par...
متن کاملDark adaptation testing in heterozygotes of Usher's syndrome.
Fourteen heterozygous carriers of Usher's syndrome were evaluated by ophthalmoscopy and dark adaptation testing. The normal findings in our study are discussed and compared with those of previous reports, which suggested that abnormal dark adaptation thresholds and fundus abnormalities may be seen in heterozygotes.
متن کاملNo increased chromosome breakage in three Bloom's syndrome heterozygotes.
The frequency of chromosome aberrations in the lymphocytes of three established heterozygotes for the Bloom's syndrome gene (ages 67, 57, 46) was compared to that in controls (ages 68, 67, 61, 46, 34). The main part of the study was done on coded slides. No difference was found between the heterozygotes and the control group, except for one control (aged 46) who had a significantly higher numbe...
