Molecular diagnosis of some common genetic diseases in Russia and the former USSR: present and future.

The current state of molecular diagnosis of some common genetic diseases, including cystic fibrosis, Duchenne muscular dystrophy, haemophilia A and B, phenylketonuria, and thalassaemia, in Russia and elsewhere in the former USSR is reviewed. Data on carrier detection and prenatal...

A glucocerebrosidase fusion gene in Gaucher disease. Implications for the molecular anatomy, pathogenesis, and diagnosis of this disorder.

The molecular diagnosis of Gaucher disease has been difficult due to the existence of several different point mutations in the glucocerebrosidase gene and due to the presence of a tightly linked, highly homologous pseudogene. We now report the occurrence of a "Lepore-like" glucoc...

Familial pancreatic adenocarcinoma: association with diabetes and early molecular diagnosis.

We report a large pedigree in which pancreatic cancer is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Diabetes and exocrine insufficiency was observed in all family members who eventually developed pancreatic cancer. The presence of diabetes, often years before the diagnosis of ca...

Identification by molecular diagnosis of mosaic Turner's syndrome in an obligate carrier female for fragile X syndrome.

A case of mosaic Turner's syndrome with a 45,X/46,XX/47,XXX karyotype, who was also a fragile X obligate carrier as the mother of an affected boy, was identified by molecular diagnosis. Complete haplotyping and direct DNA analysis showed that the X chromosome in all metaphases wa...

A genetic study of neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) in south-western Ontario. II. A PCR based approach to molecular and prenatal diagnosis using linkage.

Neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1) is a common, autosomal dominant genetic disorder with a variety of highly variable symptoms including cutaneous manifestations (such as café au lait spots), Lisch nodules, plexiform neurofibromas, skeletal abnormalities, an increased risk for malign...

Usefulness of a Nested-polymerase chain reaction for molecular diagnosis of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I/II

This study aimed at implementing a Nested-polymerase chain reaction (Nested-PCR) for the molecular diagnosis of human T-cell lymphotropic virus type I/II (HTLV-I and HTLV-II) infections in peripheral blood mononuclear cells of infected subjects in Argentina. The sensitivity and s...

Avaliação sistematica dos aspectos clinicos e geneticos de pacientes com epilepsias mioclonicas progressivas

Progressive Mioclonic Epilepsies (PME) are arare heterogeneous group of genetically determined disorders characterized by epilepsy, mioclonic jerks and progressive neuroIogicaI decline including dementia and ataxia. There are five main disorders which can cause PME: Unverricht-Lu...

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome: first molecular diagnosis in a Brazilian child

Herein the first molecular diagnosis of a Brazilian child with Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome is reported. A 6-year-old boy was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of 15 months due to recurrent respiratory infections, diarrhea and therapeutic response to pancreatic enzymes. Thr...

Molecular techniques for the study and diagnosis of parasite infection

In parasitology, routine laboratory diagnosis involves conventional methods, such as optical microscopy, used for the morphological identification of parasites. Currently, molecular biology techniques are increasingly used to diagnose parasite structures in order to enhance the i...

Molecular, cytogenetic, and clinical characterisation of six XX males including one prenatal diagnosis.

Cytogenetic analysis, fluorescent in situ hybridisation (FISH), and molecular amplification have been used to characterise the transfer of Yp fragments to Xp22.3 in six XX males. PCR amplification of the genes SRY, RPS4Y, ZFY, AMELY, KALY, and DAZ and of several other markers alo...

Direct Amplification of rRNA Genes in Diagnosis of Bacterial Infections

A broad-range bacterial PCR targeting rRNA genes (rDNAs) was used to directly analyze 536 clinical samples obtained from 459 hospitalized patients during a 4-year study period. The molecular diagnosis based on DNA sequencing of the PCR product was compared to that obtained by bac...

Evaluation of molecular genetic diagnosis in the management of familial adenomatous polyposis coli: a population based study.

A population based clinical and molecular genetic study of familial adenomatous polyposis coli (FAPC) was performed to investigate the value of molecular genetic analysis and ophthalmological assessment in the presymptomatic diagnosis of FAPC. The point prevalence of affected pat...

Comparison and Evaluation of Real-Time PCR, Real-Time Nucleic Acid Sequence-Based Amplification, Conventional PCR, and Serology for Diagnosis of Mycoplasma pneumoniae

Mycoplasma pneumoniae is a common cause of community-acquired pneumonia and lower-respiratory-tract infections. Diagnosis has traditionally been obtained by serological diagnosis, but increasingly, molecular techniques have been applied. However, the number of studies actually co...

Diagnosis of mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes in a Chinese family by PCR/restriction enzyme analysis

The clinical presentation and the biochemical and molecular genetic findings are described in a 13 year old Chinese boy with MELAS (mitochondrial encephalomyopathy, lactic acidosis, and stroke-like episodes). The diagnosis was initially suspected because of the characteristic cli...
