    Molecular genetic testing for the Lowe Syndrome OCRL1 gene is available at the Baylor (dna) Diagnostic Laboratory. Symptomatic males  
    http://www.bcmgeneticlabs.org/tests/dna/lowe.html
    
    Extractions: Patient genomic DNA will undergo mutation analysis of exons 10-18 and 19-23 of the OCRL1 gene, a region containing ~93% of identified mutations. Male patients will be analyzed by PCR-based automated fluorescent sequence analysis in both the forward and reverse orientations. If a mutation is identified in the male proband, additional relatives can be sequenced for the familial mutation. DNA sequencing has a detection rate of ~99% and remains the DNA test of choice. In the absence of a male proband, carrier testing on high-risk females can be performed by denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) analysis, that has a lower estimated detection rate (~95%).

    Extractions: JOURNAL WATCH REVIEW Myotonic dystrophy type 1 DNA testing The most common form of myotonic dystrophy (DM1) results from the expansion of a naturally-occurring repeat of a short nucleotide sequence (CTG) in the myotonic dystrophy protein kinase (DMPK) gene. However, several additional myotonic dystrophy syndromes have been described that do not involve this gene. These include proximal myotonic myopathy (PROMM), proximal myotonic dystrophy (PDM), and myotonic dystrophy type 2 (DM2). Attendees of the International Myotonic Dystrophy Consortium Conference (IMDCC) held in April 1999 decided to refer to these disorders collectively as the "myotonic dystrophies," and to name the genetic loci DM1, DM2, etc. - the group provides guidelines for DM testing in a recent paper Molecular diagnosis of DM1 is based on measurement of the size of the CTG repeat expansion. Five to 35 CTG repeats occur in the general population; 35-49 repeats places an individual at risk for developing DM1; and more than 50 CTG repeats correlates with the disorder. The IMDCC made recommendations on various testing scenarios, including testing symptomatic individuals to arrive at a clinical diagnosis, presymptomatic testing, testing of minors, and prenatal testing. Finally, the IMDCC stressed the importance of maintaining confidentiality of genetic information and respecting the rights of individuals on how their DNA is used for future testing.

    Extractions: Igniting the Moral Imagination of Twenty-First Century Leaders Main What exactly do we know from the Human Genome Project ? Up until now, the project has resulted in sequencing the DNA of a majority of the human genetic code. While the DNA sequence may have the capacity to tell us all the physical and possibly even behavioral characteristics of a person, we are not yet able to glean this information from a person's DNA. In other words, the human genetic code has not been cracked completely. Currently, we know the function of only a small percentage of the estimated 30,000 genes in the human genome. Before we try to discover the function of every gene, we need to prepare for the implications that will result, especially regarding gene testing in the medical field. Disorders such as cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, or Huntington's disease are a result of genetic defects. Scientists have found the mutated genes that cause these diseases and others. A genetic disorder can be found by looking at a person's DNA at the molecular level. This is known as gene testing. Currently, there is a fairly short list of hereditary genetic diseases that have an associated gene test, but the list has the potential to become very long. Gene testing can be used in many different situations. For example, each individual has two copies of each gene, one from the mother and one from the father. In some cases, a person needs two "bad" copies of a gene to have the disease, while a person with only one "bad" copy, a carrier, does not have the disease. When two people decide to have a child, their DNA can be tested to determine if they are carriers. The results can predict if their future child has a chance of getting two "bad" copies of a gene, causing a genetic disease. A child can also be tested for genetic diseases right after birth. Another possible application is the screening of

    Extractions: Many, if not most diseases, have their roots in our genes. Genes, through the proteins they encode, determine how efficiently we process foods, how effectively we detoxify poisons, and how vigorously we respond to infections. In the past 20 years, amazing new techniques have allowed scientists to learn a great deal about how genes work and how they are linked to disease. This rapid pace of discovery of genetic factors, responsible for certain diseases, has allowed scientists to genetically test asymptomatic individuals and predict their risk of certain diseases. In this paper, I am going to discuss the following areas pertaining to the topic of genetic testing: The definition and purpose of genetic testing Distinguishing major testing techniques with particular interest in the DNA chip Ethical considerations regarding genetic testing, explaining views on both sides Public policy pertaining to genetic testing and the use of the DNA chip and My personal opinion regarding the use of the DNA chip.

    Extractions: However, deletion of these sequences occurs indistinguishably in all three types of autosomal recessive SMA (Types 1, 11, and 111). Therefore, this probe cannot be used to indicate the severity of the disease. Indeed, in some rare families, two siblings can both have deletions of SMN, but in one case, the symptoms can be relatively typical of Type 11 or III SMA, whereas the other sibling will be considerably milder or even clinically normal.

John Hoffman and I then had conference calls on September 29, 2000, with Dr. Aguirre and with Dr. Jeannette Felix, in order to obtain further details. Dr. Felix heads OptiGen, a genetics testing laboratory that offers testing licensed from Cornell. OptiGen will do the testing. Type A Miniature Schnauzer PRA pd pd for the form of PRA that it has identified at the molecular level. While a big step forward, the identification of the Type A gene mutation leaves many questions unanswered. We do know the following: Some affected Schnauzers do not test positive for Type A PRA. The researchers do not yet know of any differences in clinical expression between Type A PRA and the other type(s). Thus, animals who are affected may have either Type A or some other type. The only way to tell is by testing.

JWG] DNA Testing is one of the most frequent questions we receive these days. Since it is such a popular topic, we have prepared this information sheet to give you background on this subject. If you have additional questions, don't hesitate to contact us at 800-767-4VHL, 800-767-4845, or by fax to 858-712-8712, or via email to info@vhl.org There are two kinds of laboratories: research labs and clinical production testing labs. A production testing lab is like the one your doctor sends your routine blood and urine samples to, with the exception that in the case of DNA testing it takes a laboratory with special knowledge and equipment, and with special "DNA probes" which can be used to check for mutations in the VHL gene itself. There are now a growing number of production laboratories in the world equipped to do DNA testing for the VHL gene. A production lab is set up to receive samples for testing, apply the tests, and return the results to the doctor in a short and predictable period of time, with a report which the doctor can discuss with you.

    Extractions: vWD - von Willebrands Disease Compiled by Jerrie E. Wolfe jerrie@rose-croft.dk Genetic or hereditary diseases are conditions caused by subtle damage to the DNA, which is then passed from one generation to the next. The damaged gene is inherited according to the rules of genetics, although the pattern of inheritance may not be obvious without detailed scientific study. The majority of genetic disorders afflicting pedigree dogs show a recessive pattern of inheritance. In these conditions, two copies of the damaged gene, one inherited from the sire and the other from the dam, must be present for an individual to suffer from the disease. Carriers, which have only one copy of the damaged gene, will show no symptoms but can transmit the gene to successive generations. On average, when two such carriers are mated, 25% of the offspring will be affected with the disease - but another 50% will be carriers able to pass the disease on! In some instances we are not really dealing with a disease, but a defect; such as malocclusions (poor tooth alignment), coloration, etc., things a dog can live with that do not effect it's health. Though important in maintaining the breed within the standard set by the parent clubs and these should not be dismissed, they should be kept in perspective of the severity of other genetic disease and defects; those that cause sever health problems and even death.
