Together with cases displaying typical features of recessive ATS, i.e. rapidly sex-independent progressive nephritis or parental consanguinity, the study included sporadic male and female patients who had tested negative for COL4A5 mutations. Our analysis of COL4A3 and COL4A4 resulted in the identification of many changes, among which only eight could be confidently considered pathogenic. None were in a homozygous state, which would have been useful to evaluate their role: in COL4A3 four mutations were found in compound heterozygotes and three in simple heterozygotes, as the single COL4A4 mutation. COL4A3 and COL4A4 mutations can be classified in two groups expected to cause either the production of an abnormal alpha-chain or to reduce its synthesis, and operationally sub-divided as to whether they are present alone ­ likely autosomal dominant, or belong to compound heterozygous genotypes ­ likely autosomal recessive. While in recessive cases both null- and abnormal-chain mutations are found, the dominant inheritance seems limited to mutations predicted to result in the production of an abnormal chain. This hypothesis agrees with the observation that the only reported autosomal dominant ATS family had a large in-frame deletion of the alpha3(IV) chain, resulting from the skipping of exon 21 (9).

A small number may have clues to the diagnosis of hereditary nephritis, as in the patient we present here. The propositus was a 22-year-old man, who was admitted to our nephrology ward because of recently discovered renal insufficiency. Ultrasound examination revealed bilateral small kidneys. He was severely hypertensive; audiometry and ophthalmic examinations were normal. Thrombocytopenia with giant platelets was observed in peripheral blood smears. Basophilic cytoplasmic inclusions (Döhle-like bodies) were present in neutrophil and basophilic granulocytes. A family history of nephropathy associated with macrothrombocytopenia was obtained. Epstein syndrome was diagnosed, a rare autosomal dominant disorder. He started hemodialysis and subsequently received a living donor kidney transplant (from his mother). Molecular genetics has considerably clarified the field of hereditary nephritis associated with macrothrombocytopenia by demonstrating that these syndromes involve a similar molecular defect. It was first shown that these syndromes were linked to the same locus on chromosome 22q. Then the gene involved ­ encoding non - muscle myosin heavy chain 9 (MYH9) ­ was identified. This entity ("MYH9 disease") must be clearly differentiated from Alport syndrome (type IV collagen disease).

Royal College of Physicians and Surgeons of Canada Collège royal des médecins et chirurgiens du Canada Annual Meeting Assemblée annuelle Cancer patients looking for a leader Cancer patients need someone to take up a leadership role so as to provide them with the best possible care. Surgeons are in a good position to provide that leadership, according to Dr. Murray Brennan, Benno C. Schmidt Chair of Clinical Oncology, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York. As Dr. Brennan pointed out in a preview of his wide-ranging CAGS lecture, cancer patients have all sorts of specialists, especially in the U.S., but nobody is in charge, "so they get lost." Should the surgeon wish to pick up responsibility for cancer patients, that responsibility must come with an understanding that his or her leadership role must be disease-based, not discipline-based, knowledge-based, or technique-based. An ideal way to begin acquiring that knowledge is to establish data bases of patients with specific types of cancer so that the disease can be fully understood in all of its manifestations from etiology to outcome. "Before we start [treating a patient with cancer], we have to know what the treatments are and what the alternatives are, and we have to be willing to take care of patients whenever the treatment we use doesn't work," he added. Making matters worse, most of the changes taking place in medicine today are "patient-unfriendly."

Home My State Bulletin Board Newsletter ... www.infanthearing.org 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.

Harvard School of Public Health, 1983 Research Interests: Clinical Genetics Dysmorphology Williams Syndrome I am a Dysmorphologist/Clinical Geneticist involved in diagnosis and counselling for birth defects and inherited disorders. Current Clinical Studies My major research focuses on a rare genetic microdeletion disorder, Williams syndrome. From my involvement in the diagnosis and management of large numbers of patients with Williams syndrome, several clinical studies on the natural history of this disorder have emerged. Clinical information and patient samples are being provided in a collaborative fashion to assist in the delineation of the Williams syndrome critical region. Current information suggests that the Williams syndrome deletion is >100 kb in size, involving loss of the gene, elastin, and additional flanking genes as well. Thus, Williams syndrome is likely to be another example of a contiguous gene deletion syndrome.

The Genetics Of Deafness by Beth A. Pletcher, MD, November 1999 It may be hard to believe, but almost 7% of the population of the United States is deaf or hearing impaired. This amounts to about 20 million people across the country. You might say that this makes sense when one considers the ever increasing population of senior citizens, but you may be surprised to learn that 50% of severe to profound hearing impairment is genetically determined. Other Mendelian disorders that have hearing loss as a frequent component include: In addition to these conditions, there are many more multiple anomaly, biochemical and cytogenetic disorders that have hearing loss as a common finding. For a child with congenital hearing loss a number of simple screening tools can be employed to rule out some of these conditions that have additional medical implications. A reasonable work-up for an infant or child with significant hearing loss without obvious cause would include: Genes at Work Home UMDNJ Home Top of page

Developing a protocol for clinical practice Opting for pre-emptive transplantation Judith Argles MA CQSW Dip Soc Studies Paediatric Renal Social Worker Johanne Anderson MSc BSc DipHE RN(Child) Staff Nurse, Children and Young Person's Kidney Unit, Nottingham City Hospital NHS Trust Pre-emptive transplantation (PET) is a treatment option offered by 70% of UK renal units to children with chronic renal failure who are approaching the need for renal replacement therapy. Dialysis is avoided by planning intervention before the child develops symptoms. Key points Pre-emptive transplantation is offered by 70% of UK renal units and should be seriously considered for children approaching end-stage renal failure. PET has many social, psychological and physical benefits, including avoiding the complications of bone disease, nutritional problems and anaemia that are associated with dialysis. A team strategy is essential when preparing a family for PET - the family should ideally have regular discussions with the nephrologist, dietitian, social worker and community nurse.
