Screening in cystic fibrosis
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A few trials on prenatal CF carrier screening have been performed assessing what proportion of pregnant women are likely to be offered screening and what proportion are likely to accept the test if it is offered free by their own physician (Rowley PT, 1997; Loader S, 1996). A paucity of experience-database is available on CF carrier screening and to terminate CF affected pregnancies. Women found to be carriers generally followed through with partner testing and, if they were found to be at risk, with prenatal diagnosis. Women who would not consider pregnancy termination for CF generally decline screening.

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common autosomal recessive disorder that affects many body systems and is produced by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) gene. CF is also the most frequently inherited disorder in the West. The aim of this study was to detect the mutations in the CFTR gene in two Iranian families with CF. Methods: After DNA extractio...
متن کاملIdentification of Dermatoglyphic Patterns in Parents of Children with Cystic Fibrosis
Background Dermatoglyphics could assist in the diagnosis of congenital abnormalities. The aim of this study was to identify the dermatoglyphic patterns (finger print pattern type, total ridge count of each finger, a-b ridge count, and articulotrochanteric distance [ATD angles]) in the parents of cystic fibrosis children. Materials and Methods We recruited 75 parents of children with cystic fibr...

Background Pulmonary involvement is the main cause of mortality in cystic fibrosis (CF). Airway clearance techniques are non-pharmacological complement options for CF patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the short-term outcome of airway cleaning treatment in patients with cystic fibrosis in a children's hospital.
