Turner Syndrome 2007-10-02 16:06:54 This booklet is intended for families who are affected by Turner
syndrome* (TS). It contains a great deal of material, some of which will apply to most girls with TS and much of which will apply to some girls. TS is a highly variable condition. Every girl with TS is unique and no generalization will apply to every girl, no matter how accurate it is for the group. Most girls with TS are healthy and well- adjusted; some face special physical, emotional, social or learning challenges. All will benefit from good medical care, informed emotional support and careful screening for related conditions. We suggest that you read this book cover-to-cover, then make a list of questions and concerns to discuss with your childâ s doctor or health care team. Share it with family members, friends, teachers, counselors and coaches. Together, youâ ll support your daughterâ s healthy growth in every way. Words convey attitudes, so we have chosen to â put the person firstâ th Read more:Syndrome
What Is Sickle Cell Anemia 2007-10-02 16:04:40 Sickle cell disease is a group of inherited red blood cell disorders. Normal red blood cells are round and bendable. There is a substance in the normal red blood cells called hemoglobin that carries oxygen inside the cell. These normal red blood cells deliver this oxygen through out the body. When there is a change in this substance, it causes the hemoglobin to form long rods when it gives off oxygen. These rigid rods change the red cell into a shape like a sickle (a curved short handled blade). Sickle red blood cells become hard and pointy and as they travel through the body, they clog blood flow and break apart. This causes pain and damage leading to anemia (low amount of red blood cells and hemoglobin). How do you get sickle cell anemia? Sickle cell is a hereditary condition that occurs as either a trait (you carry one muted gene from one of your parents) or as the disease (you carry two mutated genes from one of your parents). The trait rarely causes problems but can be passed on t

ZIPF, MD, FAAP Central Ohio Pediatric Endocrinology & Diabetes Services Columbus, OH KLINEFELTER SYNDROME: Clinical evaluation and intervention (published in 2003 by the Pediatric Endocrinology Society) INTRODUCTION In 1942, Harry Klinefelter described a small group of males who presented with gynecomastia, small testes, Leydig cell dysfunction, and infertility (Klinefelter, Reinfenstein, Albright, 1942). Shortly thereafter this association of clinical features (Klinefelters syndrome or KS) was identified as being caused by an extra X chromosome, giving a sex chromosome pattern of XXY. This condition occurs in 1:500 to 1:1000 live births, (Hamerton et al., 1975) making it one of the most common of all forms of genetic conditions.

Huntington's Disease 2007-10-02 15:55:54 Huntingtonâ s disease (HD) is a hereditary brain disorder that affects people of all races all overthe world. It takes its name from Dr. George Huntington, a Long Island physician who publisheda description of what he called "hereditary chorea" in 1872. From the Greek word for "dance,"chorea refers to the involuntary movements which are among the common symptoms of HD.Until recently, little was known or published about Huntingtonâ s Disease. Yet in the last20 years, much has been learned about the causes and effects of HD and about treatments,therapies and techniques for managing the symptoms of the disease. In 1993, after a ten-yearsearch, scientists found the gene that causes HD, and important advances have flowed from thisdramatic discovery. Many scientists are actively engaged in the search for effective treatments tostop or reverse the effects of HD, and eventually to cure it altogether. HD is a degenerativedisease whose symptoms are caused by the l Read more:Huntington
Familial Hypercholesterolemia 2007-10-02 15:51:50 Why is Familial Hypercholesterolemia an emerging public health issue?br /br /Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a genetically inherited lipid disorder that leads to asustained increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol. LDL cholesterol is oftenreferred to as "bad" cholesterol and is directly linked to heart problems. The increased LDLlevels associated with FH eventually lead to early onset of heart and artery disease. This issignificant because 59 million Americans have some form of cardiovascular disease. Coronaryheart disease, on of the most common results of FH, is thought to be responsible for as many as1out of every 5 deaths. Coronary heart disease is the single largest killer of American males andfemales and often takes the lives of people at the peak of their productivity. Through researchand a better understanding of lipid disorders we can develop better detection and treatment plans. FH offers an opportunity to observe long term affects of cholesterol i
Cystic Fibrosis 2007-10-02 15:49:31 Cystic fibrosis causes your body to produce very thick and sticky mucus. This thick mucus in your lungs can cause problems with breathing. The thick mucus also can affect your pancreas, blocking enzymes that help you digest food. Cystic fibrosis also causes salts, sodium and chloride, not to move through your body causing a build up. Cause Cystic fibrosis is a genetic disease. This means that you inherited the genes for this disease from your parents. About one in 31 Americans carry the gene for cystic fibrosis without knowing it. Symptoms C Very salty-tasting skin C Coughing, caused by the thick mucus C Wheezing or squeaking sounds with breathing C Lung infections caused by the lungs inability to get rid of the thick mucus C Big appetitie but poor weight gain C Bulky stools Treatment Cystic fibrosis treatment depends on the stage of the disease. Treatment will vary with which organs are involved, but may include: C Postural drainage and percussion to help get the mucus out of the lung Read more:Cystic
Tay-Sachs Disease (LabFacets) 2007-10-11 15:09:51 Tay-Sachs
Disease (LabFacets) What is Tay-Sachs disease? Tay-Sachs disease (TSD) is a lysosomal storage disorder that causes progressive neurological disease. Patients with TSD have low or absent activity of the enzyme beta-hexosaminidase A. 1 Infantile TSD, the most common form of TSD, presents in the first year of life with loss of developmental milestones and progresses inevitably to death, usually by five years of age. A less common adult onset form of TSD, which presents in adolescence or adulthood, also occurs. There is currently no effective treatment or cure for TSD. How is Tay-Sachs disease inherited? TSD is an autosomal recessive disorder. Both parents must be carriers of TSD in order to have affected children. When both parents are carriers, they have a 25% chance with each pregnancy to have an affected child. Who should be offered Tay-Sachs disease carrier testing? Carriers of TSD are not physically affected by being a carrier and usually do not have a history of the diseas
Genetic Testing For Tay-Sachs Disease 2007-10-11 15:09:07 Tay-Sachs
disease (TSD) is an autosomal recessive lysosomal storage disease in which acidic fatty acids
called Gm2 gangliosides accumulate in neuronal cells, resulting in progressive destruction of the central
nervous system. The enzyme hexosaminidase (HEX) normally catalyzes the biogradation of these lipids
and occurs in two principal forms, HEX A and HEX B. HEX A is composed of one alpha (a) and one beta
(B) subunit, while HEX B is composed of two B subunits. TSD occurs when mutations of the HEX A gene
encoding the a subunit result in a deficiency of the HEX A enzyme. Mutations in the gene coding for the B
subunit lead to a deficiency of both the HEX A and HEX B form of the enzyme producing a variant type of
lysosomal storage disease known as Sandhoff disease. Sandhoff disease usually leads to death at about
age three. The enzyme deficiency in Sandhoff disease arises from mutations in a B subunit gene on
chromosome 5, instead of the a subunit gene on chromosome 13 as in TSD. Read more:Testing
Tay-Sachs Disease 2007-10-11 15:04:27 Tay-Sachs
disease is a rare, neurodegenerative disorder in which deficiency of an enzyme (hexosaminidase A) results in excessive accumulation of certain fats (lipids) known as gangliosides in the brain and nerve cells. This abnormal accumulation of gangliosides leads to progressive dysfunction of the central nervous system. This disorder is categorized as a lysosomal storage disease. Lysosomes are the major digestive units in cells. Enzymes within lysosomes break down or digest nutrients, including certain complex carbohydrates and fats. Symptoms associated with Tay-Sachs disease may include an exaggerated startle response to sudden noises, listlessness, loss of previously acquired skills (i.e., psychomotor regression), and severely diminished muscle tone (hypotonia). With disease progression, affected infants and children may develop cherry-red spots within the middle layer of the eyes, gradual loss of vision, and deafness, increasing muscle stiffness and restricted movements (spastic

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE A CARRIER OF TAY-SACHS DISEASE? 2007-10-11 14:55:07 You should know that being a carrier for Tay-Sachs disease is not an illness and does not affect your own
health. In fact, you would probably not have found out that you are a carrier unless you had a special blood
test. Being a carrier simply means that one of the two copies of the gene that can cause Tay-Sachs disease
has a change that keeps it from working properly. You do not have symptoms of this disease because you only
have one copy of the gene that is not working (it takes two non-working copies of the gene to cause the
disease). The only way your baby could have this condition is if BOTH you AND your partner are carriers, so
the next step is to test your partner. If he is not a carrier, then there is not a concern for the pregnancy. If he is
a carrier, the baby will have a 25% (1 in 4) chance to have Tay-Sachs disease. The chance that your partner is
a carrier depends on his ethnicity. People who are Ashkenazi Jewish have a 3% (1 in 30) chance to be a Tay Sachs carrier

s from Blockage/bbr /br /
Most strokes occur when a blood vessel in the
brain is blocked and blood flow stops. This
type of stroke is called an ischemic (iss-KEYmik) stroke. The blockage may be caused by
a blood clot, and severe brain swelling may
result. Life-saving surgery may be necessary
to remove the clot and the brain tissue that
has died from lack of oxygen.br /br /
A blockage also can occur when the artery
itself narrows. A harmful fatty deposit, called
plaque (PLAK), may build up in an artery
and then block it. Sometimes clots form,
which can then break off and travel to block
another artery in the brain. Some patients can
be helped by a procedure called angioplasty
(AN-jee-oh-plass-tee). During the procedure,
a tiny balloon at the end of a long, thin tube
is pushed through the artery to the blockage.
When the balloon is inflated, it opens the
artery. In Read more:Surgical

Am I At Risk For Stroke? 2007-10-11 14:32:13 Every year, more than 750,000 Americans experience a stroke, and one-third of them are under the age of 65. Stroke
is the third leading cause of death in the United States and a leading cause of adult disability. Yet, we know that stroke is one of the most preventable of all life-threatening diseases. Stroke prevention is a key element in reducing the number of strokes in this country. A stroke, or brain attack, occurs when blood flow to the brain is interrupted by a blood clot or a broken blood vessel. This lack of oxygen kills brain cells in the immediate area, often causing physical and emotional disabilities including speech problems, memory loss, and paralysis. Risk factors for stroke are conditions that may make a person more likely to suffer a stroke. The two primary types of risk factors are those that are controllable and those that are not. Uncontrollable stroke risk factors include being over age 55, being male, being African-American, having diabetes and having a family his

Cancer Of The Larynx - SEER Survival Monograph 2007-10-20 14:32:19 The larynx, positioned in the neck slightly below the point where the pharynx divides into separate respiratory and digestive tracts, is critical to breathing, swallowing, and speaking. The glottis is the portion of the larynx where the vocal cords are located. The area above the vocal cords is referred to as the supraglottis and that below the vocal cords as the subglottis. This chapter provides survival analyses for 14,950 histologically confirmed adult cases of cancer of the larynx. Cases were obtained from the Surveillance, Epidemiology, and End Results (SEER) Program of the National Cancer
Institute (NCI). Cancer of the larynx is second only to oral cavity cancer as the most common cancer of the upper aerodigestive tract (1). Tobacco and alcohol use are widely recognized as the key causative factors for many of these tumors (2). The cell type of origin for the vast majority of these tumors is squamous cell (3).

Progress In The Treatment Of Kidney Cancer 2007-10-20 12:45:40 Each year, 36,000 adults in the United States are diagnosed with kidney cancer. No one knows what causes this cancer, but it usually occurs for no obvious reason and is rarely inherited. Kidney
cancer is two to three times more common in men than in women and tends to affect people between the ages of 50 and 70.'Kidney cancer tends to be "silent," causing no symptoms until it has spread beyond the kidneys. In fact, about 25 to 30 percent of kidney cancers have already spread to other parts of the body by the time they are diagnosed. The most common symptoms are blood in the urine, pain or pressure in the side or back, and a lump in the side or back (see box on page 4).'There are several different types of kidney cancer cells. Knowing which type a tumor contains helps your doctor plan treatment. The most common, called clear cell, is found in about 80 percent of kidney tumors.
