familial hypercholesterolemia (fh) is a hereditary dislipidemia. patients present with extremely high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (ldl-c), which is due to mutation in the gene of ldl receptor. homozygous patients (hofh) whose incidence is 1 in 1.000.000 are at high risk of premature aortic valve stenosis, and coronary artery atherosclerosis. in homozygous individuals cardiovasc...

hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia (hed) is a rare congenital disorder arising from deficient development of ectoderm-derived structures including skin, nails, glands and teeth. the phenotype of hed is associated with mutation in eda, edar, edaradd and nemo genes, all of them disruptingnf-κb signaling cascade necessary for initiation, formation and differentiation in the embryo and adult. here w...

objective(s): epidermolysis bullosa is one of the most important series of mechano-bullous heritable skin disorders which is categorized into four major types according to the layer that bullae forms within basement membrane zone. in dystrophic form of the disease, blisters are made in the sublamina densa zone, at the level of type vii collagen protein which produce anchoring fibrils. type vii ...

In dystrophic form of the disease, blisters are made in the sublamina densa zone, at the level of type VII collagen protein which produce anchoring fibrils. Type VII ...

Objective(s): Jervell and Lange–Nielsen syndrome is an autosomal recessive disorder caused by mutations in KCNQ1 or KCNE1 genes. The disease is characterized by sensorineural hearing loss and long QT syndrome. Methods: Here we present a 3.5-year-old female patient, an offspring of consanguineous marriage, who had a history of recurrent syncope and congenital sensorineural deafness. The patient ...
