prenatal diagnosis of chronic granulomatous disease in a male fetus
Authors
abstract
mutations in any of four known nadph-oxidase components lead to cgd. x-linked cgd (x-cgd) is caused by defects in cybb, the gene that encodes gp91-phox. autosomal recessive (ar) cgd is caused by defects in the genes for p47 phox, p22-phox or p67-phox. the aim of this study was to screen the molecular defect in the fetus of an x-cgd carrier mother and postnatal confirmation of the results. in a family whose first-born child died from x-cgd, fetal dna was obtained from an ongoing pregnancy by chorionic villus sampling (cvs). direct sequencing was used to detect the previously identified cybb gene mutation. the nadph oxidase activity in the neutrophils from the carrier mother and from the newborn was analyzed by the dhr assay. our studies predicted that the fetus in question was not affected by chronic granulomatous disease, which was demonstrated to be correct at birth. for prenatal screening in a pregnant x-cgd carrier, direct sequencing is a good method for detecting the mutation in the fetal dna. postnatal confirmation of results with the dhr assay is more practical than mutation screening to show whether the newborn have normal nadph oxidase activity or does not.

Prenatal diagnosis of a hypermethylated full fragile X mutation in chorionic villi of a male fetus.
Fragile X syndrome, one of the most common human genetic diseases, is characterised by a unique genetic mechanism which involves dynamic mutation because of a heritable unstable DNA sequence and abnormal DNA methylation. Direct detection of the dynamic mutation and its methylation status at the DNA level would facilitate reliable tests for prenatal and postnatal diagnosis of the disease and for...

The genetic defect in the p67Pk-deficient form of chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. When genomic DNA from normal individuals is digested with Hindlll and probed with p67p"''x cDNA an allelic restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) of 4.0 kb or 2.3 kb is detected. We cloned and characterized the p67Pk gene using the cDNA and sequen...

Triploidy is a lethal chromosomal abnormality. Foetuses with triploid condition have a tendency to die in early conception and very few survive to term. In this study, we report the prenatal diagnosis of fetal triploidy with unexpected chromosomal translocation. A 27 years old women was referred to our clinical cytogenetic department due to history of previous conceptus with intrauterine growth...

We report the prenatal sonographic diagnosis of hydrometrocolpos caused by an imperforate hymen in a Down syndrome fetus, with spontaneous evacuation on the third day of life. In this case, sonographic evaluation in the 37th week revealed a large retrovesical, sharply marginated, heterogeneous, unilocular cystic structure within the fetal abdomen extending to the left side of the umbilicus.

Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare inherited disorder characterized by inability of phagocytes to generate oxygen radicals needed for intracellular killing of phagocytic microorganisms. We report a 2.5-year-old Iranian female with multiple liver abscesses. She was admitted in surgical ward because of abdominal pain and fever for one month duration that had no response to conventio...
