چکیده
Background Congenital Indifference to Pain (CIP) is a rare condition that inhibits the ability of patients to perceive physical pain but otherwise keeps normal sensory modalities. The condition has been mapped to an autosomal recessive trait to chromosome 2q 24.3 with mutations on the SCN9A gene. Case report A 2 year old Caucasian female presented with CIP. Bite injuries, tongue wounds and unaccounted dental trauma episodes were frequently reported. Preventive instructions and possible treatment modalities were discussed with the parents. Conclusion The cornerstone of treating CIP patients is an extensive preventive approach alongside regular oral examination at home by parents as well as routine recall appointments with dentists.

Retraction. Neutrophil elastase mutations in severe congenital neutropenia patients of the original Kostmann family.
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN), or Kostmann syndrome, was originally reported as an autosomal recessive disease of neutrophil production and recurrent bacterial infections. Heterozygous mutations in the neutrophil elastase (NE) gene have previously been identified in patients with sporadic or autosomal dominant SCN. Here we present cellular and molecular studies of all 4 surviving affected...

Congenital Hepatic Fibrosis (CHF) is a rare disease that affects both the liver and kidneys. Congenital hepatic fibrosis (CHF) is an autosomal recessive inherited malformation defined pathologically by a variable degree of periportal fibrosis and irregularly shaped proliferating bile ducts. Affected individuals also have impaired renal function, usually caused, in children and teenagers, by an...
متن کاملA novel compound heterozygous HAX1 mutation in a Chinese patient with severe congenital neutropenia and chronic myelomonocytic leukemia transformation but without neurodevelopmental abnormalities.
Severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) is a rare disease, comprising a heterogeneous group of inherited disorders. Clinical features include reduced absolute neutrophil counts from birth, increased susceptibility to recurrent and life-threatening infections, and a preleukemic predisposition. SCN exhibits different genetic modes of inheritance, including autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, Xli...
متن کاملClinical spectrum and long-term follow-up of 14 cases with G6PC3 mutations from the French severe congenital neutropenia registry
BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to describe the natural history of severe congenital neutropenia (SCN) in 14 patients with G6PC3 mutations and enrolled in the French SCN registry. METHODS Among 605 patients included in the French SCN registry, we identified 8 pedigrees that included 14 patients with autosomal recessive G6PC3 mutations. RESULTS Median age at the last visit was 22.4 ...
متن کاملA Novel Missense Mutation in CLCN1 Gene in a Family with Autosomal Recessive Congenital Myotonia
Congenital recessive myotonia is a rare genetic disorder caused by mutations in CLCN1, which codes for the main skeletal muscle chloride channel ClC-1. More than 120 mutations have been found in this gene. The main feature of this disorder is muscle membrane hyperexcitability. Here, we report a 59-year male patient suffering from congenital myotonia. He had transient generalized myotonia, which...
