Congenital diaphragmatic hernia with probable autosomal recessive inheritance in an extended consanguineous Pakistani pedigree.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report four cases of congenital diaphragmatic hernia occurring in two generations of a consanguineous Pakistani family. The affected subjects resembled no recognised genetic syndrome. This family provides further evidence for possible autosomal recessive inheritance of congenital diaphragmatic hernia in some cases.

Congenital diaphragmatic hernia with familial occurrence in a Taiwanese pedigree.
Congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) is a developmental defect that accounts for 8% of all major congenital anomalies and is associated with a high mortality rate despite optimal postnatal treatment. Its etiology is uncertain. We report a case of familial CDH in a Taiwanese family. We believe autosomal recessive inheritance is the possible genetic etiology of CDH in this family.
متن کاملA Lebanese family with autosomal recessive oculo-auriculo-vertebral (OAV) spectrum and review of the literature: is OAV a genetically heterogeneous disorder?
Oculo-auriculo-vertebral (OAV) spectrum summarizes a continuum of ocular, auricular, and vertebral anomalies. Goldenhar syndrome is a variant of this spectrum and is characterized by pre-auricular skin tags, microtia, facial asymmetry, ocular abnormalities, and vertebral anomalies of different sizes and shapes. Most cases are thought to be sporadic. However, a few families were reported to have...
متن کاملMapping of a new locus associated with autosomal recessive congenital cataract to chromosome 3q
PURPOSE To identify the disease locus for autosomal recessive congenital cataracts in a consanguineous Pakistani family. METHODS All affected individuals underwent a detailed ophthalmologic examination. Blood samples were collected and genomic DNA was extracted. A genome-wide scan was completed with fluorescently-labeled microsatellite markers on genomic DNA from affected and unaffected famil...
متن کاملRecessive congenital methemoglobinemia in immediate generations.
We report herein on our observation of recessive congenital methemoglobinemia (type I), an autosomal recessive disorder, in immediate generations (in a mother and her daughter). Molecular analysis revealed a mechanism of inheritance not reported previously, despite the high probability of occurrence in autosomal recessive disorders. This report is also the first publication describing an extrem...
متن کاملLocalization of autosomal recessive congenital cataracts in consanguineous Pakistani families to a new locus on chromosome 1p.
PURPOSE To identify the disease locus for autosomal recessive congenital cataracts in two consanguineous Pakistani families. METHODS Two Pakistani families were ascertained, ophthalmologic examination including slit lamp biomicroscopy was performed on all members, blood samples were collected and DNA was extracted. A genome-wide scan was performed using 382 polymorphic microsatellite markers ...
