Penetrance of Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Genotype-Positive Relatives Following a first negative screening, approximately 11% of G+ relatives developed DCM during a median follow-up of 3 years. Older age, an abnormal electrocardiogram, lower left ventricular ejection fraction, increased left ventricular end-diastolic diameter, motor sarcomeric genetic variants, and late gadolinium enhancement are associated with a higher risk of developing DCM.

Gilbert syndrome is a common, mild liver condition where the liver doesn’t process bilirubin and leads to a slight increase in bilirubin levels in the blood and causes jaundice. This condition is the result of a genetic mutation affecting an enzyme UDP-glucuronosyltransferase (UGT1A1), involved in the glucuronidation step of bilirubin breakdown. Patients generally show an elevated unconjugated bilirubin levels with normal conjugated bilirubin. Learn more about the testing with Medical Database. https://lnkd.in/dDV4-qP3 #medicaldatabase

The complex relationships between migraine and stroke are explored, highlighting significant clinical implications for their management and treatment. It is mentioned that migraine shares pathophysiological mechanisms with stroke and increases the predisposition to certain types of stroke, emphasizing the need to understand their interaction for effective management. Additionally, factors such as endothelial dysfunction, genetic predispositions, and hormonal influences are highlighted as key elements linking migraine to stroke risk.

Hi everyone Hope all in good health We reported the second case of 25 year old pregnant woman showing an 1.837 Mb interstitial deletion of the proximal long arm region 17q12 of chromosome 17 which is associated with a clinical diagnosis of Renal Cysts and Diabetes Syndrome and is caused by a loss of the HNF1B gene A deletion is indicated in the software call panel by the presence of a red bar. The deletion is identified by a decrease in the Log2 ratio from zero as seen in the Log2 Ratio panel. The smooth signal copy number panel indicates the exact copy number of each probe. This panel is helpful in identifying mosaicism which is evident when the smooth signal for multiple consecutive probes lies between an integer. The chromosome ideogram in the chromosome panel highlights the position breakpoints on the chromosome where copy number imbalances are present. The red bar in the chromosome panel represents a deletion. Gains would typically be shown as blue bars. #CGH #arrays #prediction #of #congenital #abnormalities #amniocentesis

Haemophilia is a rare condition affecting blood clotting, leading to excessive bleeding and bruising. It is the outcome of a genetic mutation that influences the production of clotting agents in the bloodstream. Research shows that approximately 1 in 5000 male births are affected by haemophilia. Haemophilia is often passed down from parents who are carriers of the altered gene and primarily affects males. In an insightful discussion with healthsite.com, #MetropolisScientificExpert Dr. Smita Hiras Sudke, Chief of Labs (Pune and Rest of Maharashtra), delves into the various types of haemophilia and the diagnostic tests available that aid doctors in effectively guiding treatment paths. 🩺💡 #HaemophiliaAwareness #GeneticDisorders #WorldHaemophiliaDay Dr Kirti Chadha Vishal Wadhwa Kannan A Bhoopendra Singh Rajawat Mohan Menon Dr.Shibani Ramchandran Adarsh Jeyasingh Balakrishnan Dr. Sanjay Gohil Supriya Nair Ashish Sahdev Mehul Pal Singh https://lnkd.in/dR56jQ7w

Cardiomyopathy refers to a group of diseases that affect the heart muscle, leading to dysfunction in its ability to pump blood effectively. These conditions can result in severe complications such as heart failure, arrhythmias (irregular heartbeats), or even sudden cardiac death. Cardiomyopathy is a broad term, and the condition can be caused by various factors, including genetic mutations, other diseases, or environmental factors. https://lnkd.in/gMPRQsWi #BhaloTheko
