UNIQUE PRESENTATION OF AN 8p DELETION IN A DISCORDANT TWIN WITH ATRIOVENTRICULAR CANAL DEFECT AND PROLONGED HYPOGLYCEMIA
نویسنده
چکیده
We report on a del(8)(p22) in a severe intrauterine growth retarded newborn with balanced atrioventricular canal defect and prolonged hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy. Atrioventricular septal defects are associated with terminal deletions of chromosome 8p. Hyperinsulinism during infancy represents a group of clinically, genetically and morphologically heterogeneous disorders and is also associated with mutations in several genes. However, such 8p deletions are not associated with hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia of infancy.

Etiology of Prolongation of the P-R Interval
Conduction time from the region of the sinus node to the region of the atrioventricular (A-V) node was studied during open heart surgery in 13 patients with an endocardial cushion type atrial septal defect, eight patients with a secundum type atrial septal defect, one patient with a sinus venosus type atrial septal defect, and eight patients with an intact atrial septum. Internodal conduction t...

متن کاملAtrioventricular conduction in patients with incomplete endocardial cushion defect.
The cause of left axis deviation noted on the electrocardiogram (ECG) in patients with ostium primum atrial septal defect has been attributed to two differing mechanisms: left ventricular overload secondary to mitral insufficiency and a congenitally anomalous atrioventricular conduction system. In order to define the conduction characteristics of the atrioventricular conduction system in patien...
متن کاملSelective cerebral perfusion with aortic cannulation and short-term hypothermic circulatory arrest in aortic arch reconstruction.
BACKGROUND The deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) technique has been used in aortic arch and isthmus hypoplasia for many years. However, with the demonstration of the deleterious effects of prolonged DHCA, selective cerebral perfusion (SCP) has started to be used in aortic arch repair. For SCP, perfusion via the innominate artery route is generally preferred (either direct innominate ar...
متن کاملFamilial Atrial Septal Defect with Prolonged Atrioventricular Conduction
This report describes a family with frequent recurrence of congenital heart disease in multiple generations. Eight members had atrial septal defect (ASD) of the fossa ovalis type and seven members had other forms of congenital heart disease. One branch of the pedigree showed a predominance of ASD with prolonged atrioventricular (A-V) conduction and initially suggested an autosomal dominant gene...
