A population-based, cross-sectional study was performed in southeast Norway, between January 2002 and February 2008, to identify subjects with hereditary ataxia and hereditary spastic paraplegia, and to estimate the prevalence of these disorders. Patients were recruited through colleagues, families, searches in computerized hospital archives and the National Patients' Association for Hereditary...

Hereditary Angioedema is a dominantly inherited disease. Routine screening of autoantibodies (AAB) is not recommended for individuals with Hereditary Angioedema; however, prevalence of these antibodies in Hereditary Angioedema patients is not well documented. We aim to determine the prevalence of AAB so that individuals at risk of developing autoimmune diseases can be identified. Fifteen patien...

The panel covers genes associated with hereditary colorectal cancer syndromes, familial pancreatic cancer, hereditary diffuse gastric cancer and gastrointestinal stromal tumors. Also other syndromes associated with increased risk of gastrointestinal cancer are covered. The Hereditary Gastrointestinal Cancer Panel is suited for detecting heritable germline mutations and may not be used for the d...

We introduce the notions of τ -exceptional and signed sequences for any finite dimensional algebra. prove that a fixed algebra rank n , positive integer t ≤ there is bijection between set length (basic) ordered support -rigid objects with indecomposable direct summands. If hereditary, our coincide exceptional sequences. The latter were recently introduced by Igusa Todorov, who constructed simil...

WHAT ARE HEREDITARY ATAXIAS? Ataxia is a neurologic disorder in which there is loss of coordination of movement. It can result from dysfunction of the cerebellum and brain stem and their afferent or efferent pathways. The etiology of ataxia can be divided into 3 main categories: acquired, sporadic, and hereditary. Hereditary ataxias are one of the largest groups of hereditary progressive neurod...

Hereditary etiologies of pancreatic and hepatobiliary cancers are increasingly recognized. An estimated >10% of pancreatic and increasing number of hepatobiliary cancers are hereditary. The cumulative risk of hereditary pancreatic cancer ranges from measurable but negligible in cystic fibrosis to a sobering 70% in cases of hereditary pancreatitis. Candidates for pancreatic cancer surveillance a...

Studies during the last three decades have enabled the development of detailed molecular insights into the structural basis of altered function in various inherited red cell membrane disorders. This review highlights our current understanding of molecular and mechanistic insights into various inherited red cell membrane disorders involving either altered membrane structural organization (heredi...
