Extractions: Alport's syndrome Alport's syndrome is a hereditary disease of basement membranes which is characterised by sensorineural deafness and renal failure. Inheritance can be X-linked dominant, autosomal dominant and, rarely, autosomal recessive. More information about the genetics of this condition is available in the linked menu item. Prevalence is about 1:5000. Pathological renal changes in Alport's syndrome include thickening of the glomerular basement membrane and splitting of the lamina densa.

Myriad Genetics is an emerging biopharmaceutical company focused on the development of therapeutic and diagnostic products that are based on the use of genomic and proteomic technologies. Myriad Genetics is currently seeking the genes which predispose to cancer, coronary heart disease, central nervous system disorders, obesity, osteoporosis, and asthma. With Drs. Botstein and Davis, he conceptualized the use of restriction fragment length polymorphisms (RFLPs) to systematically pinpoint genetic traits on chromosomes. An updated version of this technology has been used to create a genetic map of the human genome, the first step in the human genome project. Dr. Skolnick received a Bachelor of Arts degree from UC Berkeley in Economics, where he also studied demography. He received his Ph.D. in genetics at Stanford University. Dr. Skolnick joined the University of Utah faculty in 1974. He holds positions in both the departments of Biology and Medical Informatics, where he is currently a professor.

Clinical Genetics Clinical genetics. 248, 17211722) reported that infants presenting Down's syndromewere the family reported all over the world carrying the alport's syndrome. http://iibce.edu.uy/humcitogen/I.htm
Extractions: Clinical genetics The Division succeeded to publish a first note on trisomy 21 few years after Lejeune and cols. (C.R. Acad. Sci., 1959, , 1721-1722) reported that infants presenting Down's syndrome were the product of chromosomal abnormalities [36]. This modest report was followed by the description of a malformed mosaic girl carrying an inversion in the X chromosome [8] and the discovery of a family presenting an abnormal chromosome number 16 characterized by a terminal secondary constriction and an extra chromosome segment. Breakage of this segment was observed in three generations of the family [9]. The malformed proband also showed to be the second case of a carrier of a selective endoreduplicated chromosome which appeared as a tri-branched chromosome since Lejeune and cols. (C.R. Acad. Sci., 1968, , 1880) observed a selectively endoreduplicated chromosome number 2. Our interest in the investigation on hereditary conditions was focused in the largest family reported all over the world carrying the Alport's syndrome. About 670 patients studied were afflicted with one or more components of a triad consisting of nephritis, deafness and various eye disorders. Apparently, autosomal association and preferential segregation of the X chromosome were involved in the transmission of the trait [35]. A very unusual case of a mentally retarded woman presenting in her lymphocytes a complex mosaicism of an aberrant chromosome characterized by a telomeric 6;19 translocation chromosome with a tendency to break at the fusion point. This tendency originated fragments lacking a functional centromere with various levels of ploidy, offering the possibility to develop a statistical model for interpreting the complicated chromosome picture. This model was in quantitative agreement with the equilibrium expectations under the assumption that each fragment goes to either pole at random in mitosis and that cells divide at the same rate regardless of ploidy [17].

Extractions: Volume 3, No. 3 (((SOUND IDEAS December 2001 The Genetics of Infant Hearing Loss Printer Friendly Version About three in every 1,000 newborns has a permanent hearing loss. About 50% of these losses are thought to be due to environmental factors, such as bacterial or viral infections such as rubella or CMV or the use of ototoxic drugs such as aminoglycosides. Other times, the cause is genetic and is due to changes in the genes involved in the hearing process. In about 30% of babies with a hearing loss, the loss is part of a syndrome, meaning that these babies have other medical problems. More than 400 syndromes have now been identified which can cause hearing loss (e.g., Waardenburg, Usher, Pendred, Alport, etc.). The other 70% of cases are non-syndromic, which means that the baby does not have any other medical problems. Common Forms of Syndromic Deafness Syndrome Main Features (besides deafness) Alport Kidney problems Branchio-oto-renal Neck cysts and kidney problems Jervell and Lange-Nielsen Heart problems Neurofibromatosis Type 2 Nerve tumors near the ear Pendred Thyroid enlargement Stickler Unusual facial features, eye problems, arthritis

Alport' alport's syndrome is often associated with progressive hearing loss and occasionallywith other nonrenal defects. genetics Inheritance in the largest and best http://www.unict.it/medint/alport.htm
Extractions: Alport's syndrome is progressive hereditary hematuric glomerulonephritis that generally affects males much more severely than females. There is a juvenile form of the disease in which boys develop renal failure at a mean age of 18 years, and an adult type in which renal failure occurs in men around the age of 35. Alport's syndrome is often associated with progressive hearing loss and occasionally with other nonrenal defects. Inheritance in the largest and best-studied kindreds is X-linked dominant. Nearly 100 different mutations of the COL4A5 gene that codes for the a5 chain of type IV collagen have been described. COL4A5 is located on the X chromosome at Xq22. In occasional families with early development of renal failure in both genders, autosomal recessive Alport's syndrome results from mutations of COL4A3 or COL4A4, both on chromosome 2 at 2q36. However, other families, particularly those with associated thrombopathy, display autosomal dominant inheritance, with as yet obscure mutations. The fundamental lesion in most variants of Alport's syndrome is a defect in one of the genes coding for the a3, 4, or 5 chains of type IV collagen in the glomerular basement membrane (GBM). If one a chain is defective, normal assembly of a chain heterotrimers cannot occur. This is believed to lead to formation of imperfect collagen, apparent ultrastructurally as thickening and lamellation of the GBM and other basement membranes.

Extractions: Background: Alport syndrome denoted as such, occurred in 1927 and is the classic disorder known as Nephritis, characterized by inflammation of the kidney, which often times progresses to renal failure and sensorineural (nerve) hearing loss in both sexes in successive generations (1). Majority of times, the person with the kidney disease is made aware when recurrent microscopic or gross hematuria (blood in the urine) surfaces and can be during early childhood, usually earlier in males than in females. Reaching the stage of complete renal failure occurs gradually and usually occurs in male by the fifth decade (1). There is no singular disease that causes Alport syndrome. There exist diverse genetic causes such as x-linked and autosomal dominant and recessive forms of Alport syndrome (3). Also existent are diverse clinical types of Alport syndrome. Clinical examples are juvenile-onset Alport syndrome with deafness, adult-onset Alport syndrome with deafness and adult Alport syndrome without deafness (1).
