PRACTICAL GENETICS In association with Neurofibromatosis 1
Neurofibromatosis 1 predisposes affected individuals to the development of benign and malignant tumours that are frequently disfiguring and difficult to manage. However, advances in molecular biology and the development of mouse models have facilitated our understanding of disease pathogenesis. Positron emission tomography has demonstrated that sophisticated imaging techniques have a role in di...
متن کاملPractical pathology and genetics of Hirschsprung's disease.
Diagnosis and management of Hirschsprung's disease (HSCR) requires understanding of the malformation's anatomic features and multigenic nature. Rectal biopsies, intraoperative frozen sections, and resection specimens provide invaluable information. Extraction of these data requires thoughtful biopsy technique, adequate histologic sections, histochemistry, and collaboration of surgeon and pathol...
متن کاملPneumoviruses: Molecular Genetics and Reverse Genetics
Pneumoviruses are responsible for significant respiratory disease in their hosts and represent a major problemfor human and animal health. Pneumoviruses are members of the family Paramyxoviridae, subfamilyPneumovirinae and the virus particles consist of a negative-sense, nonsegmented RNA genome within a helical nucleocapsid structure enveloped in a lipid membrane derived from the ho...
متن کاملPRACTICAL GENETICS In association with Smith – Magenis syndrome
Smith–Magenis syndrome (SMS) is a complex neurobehavioral disorder caused by haploinsufficiency of the retinoic acid-induced 1 (RAI1) gene on chromosome 17p11.2. Diagnostic strategies include molecular identification of a 17p11.2 microdeletion encompassing RAI1 or a mutation in RAI1. G-banding and fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) are the classical methods used to detect the SMS deletion...
متن کاملSome Practical Applications of Genetics in Medicine and Surgery.
Leonard Parsons was a man of transcendent ability and of transcendent personality. He was a pioneer in the study of child health and in the care of sick children. His memorial may be seen in the school of paediatrics which he founded in the University of Birmingham, and also in many other centres in this country and all over the world where his disciples have followed his example and practised ...
