Citrullinemia type 1: genetic diagnosis and prenatal diagnosis in subsequent pregnancy.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Citrullinemia type 1 was diagnosed by tandem mass spectrometry in a full term male neonate who presented with an acute catastrophic collapse on the 3rd day of life. Both parents were identified to be carriers for the exon 15 p Gly390Arg mutation in the argininosuccinate synthetase gene located at chromosome 9q34.1. Chorionic villus sampling and prenatal genetic testing in the subsequent pregnancy revealed an affected fetus resulting in termination of pregnancy.

Prenatal diagnosis with application of the Amniotic fluid (Amniocentesis: AC) and chorionic villi sampling {CVS) is a general aspect of application in Human Genetics which facilitate the diagnosis of different Genetic defects, enclosing chromosomal abnormalities and Genosomopathies. Diagnosis of Genetic defects for AC and CVS is between 16-20th and 8-12th weeks of gestation respectively. Allica...

Background. Fetal malformations and other structural abnormalities are relatively frequent findings in the course of routine prenatal ultrasonographic examination. Due to their considerable genetic and clinical heterogeneity, the underlying genetic cause is often elusive and the resulting inability to provide a precise diagnosis precludes proper reproductive and fetal risk assessment. We report...

Prenatal Diagnosis is the most reliable way of preventing genetic diseases that has been implicated in many countries and has prevented the birth of newborns with different hereditary, congenital and genetic diseases during the past few years. Prenatal diagnosis is actually the use of various diagnostic methods to check the condition of the fetus during pregnancy, because postnatal genetic diso...
متن کاملPrenatal Diagnosis of Short Rib-Polydactyly Type II by Ultrasound in Three Consecutive Pregnancies.
Short rib–polydactyly syndrome (SRPS) type II is a rare lethal form of skeletal dysplasia, characterized by polydactyly, short limbs, short and horizontal ribs, a small ovoid tibia and major organ anomalies [1]. Prenatal diagnosis by genetic testing is not available; ultrasound plays an important role. With no prior history usually these cases are detected late in pregnancy; postnatal examinati...
متن کاملThe first successful live birth following preimplantation genetic diagnosis using PCR for type 1 citrullinemia
Type 1 citrullinemia (CTLN1) is an autosomal recessive inherited metabolic disorder caused by anargininosuccinicnate synthetase deficiency. The patient was a 38-year-old Korean woman who is a carrier for CTLN1 and her first baby was diagnosed with CTLN1. Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) for CTLN1 in day 3 embryos using polymerase chain reaction was performed for live birth of healthy bab...
