چکیده

Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy of the newborn is a rare skeletal abnormality. Though the disease is generalized in distribution, the cartilaginous thoracic cage bears the brunt, with the results that the chest is narrow and immobile. The outcome is usually fatal early in the neonatal period. Less frequently the patients survive with severely impaired respiratory function only to succumb to repeated and ultimately fatal respiratory infections. The entity was first described by Jeune et al. (1954) who observed it in two sibs. Subsequently, nine more cases were reported in the European literature (de Sario and Marchese, 1956; Balocco and Zoratto, 1960; Neimann et al., 1963; Maroteaux and Savart, 1964; Fontan et al., 1965). Only recently has the entity been observed by American investigators; Pirnar and Neuhauser (1966) published the first report of the condition in the English language literature. The clinical and radiological features were comprehensively reviewed by Hanissian, Riggs, and Thomas (1967) and Langer (1968). The familial distribution has been noted and autosomal recessive inheritance suggested. In this paper we present a large pedigree with five subjects either affected or reputed to be affected with this syndrome.

CYP2C19 Genetic Polymorphism in the East of Iran: Its Association with the Severity and Pattern of Coronary Artery Disease

Introduction: Since there has been a dearth of research on the assessment of CYP2C19 polymorphism in the east of Iran (Khorasan provinces), this study aimed to detect, CYP2C19*2 and CYP2C19*3 allele frequencies among patients with coronary artery disease. The participants were selected among those referring to Emam Reza Hospital, Mashhad, Iran. Furthermore, the current research was motivated to...

A locus for asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy, ATD, maps to chromosome 15q13.

Asphyxiating thoracic dystrophy (ATD), or Jeune syndrome, is a multisystem autosomal recessive disorder associated with a characteristic skeletal dysplasia and variable renal, hepatic, pancreatic, and retinal abnormalities. We have performed a genome wide linkage search using autozygosity mapping in a cohort of four consanguineous families with ATD, three of which originate from Pakistan, and o...
