Progress in the genetics of cerebrovascular disease: inherited subcortical arteriopathies.
W e have much to discover regarding the etiol-ogy of cerebral infarction, as the commonly recognized risk factors, such as hyperten-sion, diabetes, and atrial fibrillation, account for only a small proportion of stroke. Genetic factors are clearly important. Substantial genetic components underlie hypertension and diabetes. However, as contributors to the known risk factors for stroke, they are...
متن کاملProgress in clinical genetics of prostate cancer
Prostate cancer is among the leading causes of morbidity and mortality from cancer in men. Epidemiologic data suggest that dominant susceptibility genes may be responsible for 5%-10% of all of the cases and 30-40% of early onset cases. Familial clustering of prostate cancer is observed in 10-20% of men with prostate cancer. Scandinavian study of twins suggests that the heritability of prostate ...
متن کاملGenetics of inherited cardiomyopathy.
During the past two decades, numerous disease-causing genes for different cardiomyopathies have been identified. These discoveries have led to better understanding of disease pathogenesis and initial steps in the application of mutation analysis in the evaluation of affected individuals and their family members. As knowledge of the genetic abnormalities, and insight into cellular and organ biol...
متن کاملDominantly inherited hypertrophic neuropathy.
Clinical, electrophysiological, and histopathological studies of some members of a family with dominantly inherited hypertrophic neuropathy are presented. Twenty-five members were studied. Seventeen were abnormal on clinical examination. Their ages varied from 2 1/2 to 78 years. Age at onset in 14 of the 17 varied between 2 1/2 and 56 years. Pes cavus and palpable nerve thickening were present ...
متن کاملClinical Perspective. Molecular genetics of inherited long QT syndromes
Unravelling the molecular cause of QT prolongation is one of the most exciting contributions of molecular biology to clinical cardiology in the last decade. Not only have mutations in four different genes been described, at least two additional chromosomal loci have been identified harbouring genes with an as yet unknown DNA sequence and protein function. Simultaneously cellular electrophysiolo...
