Extractions: About Site Map Contact Us Search A service of the Alport syndrome Genetic Conditions On this page: Reviewed April 2009 Alport syndrome is a genetic condition characterized by kidney disease, hearing loss, and eye abnormalities. People with Alport syndrome experience progressive loss of kidney function. Almost all affected individuals have blood in their urine (hematuria), which indicates abnormal functioning of the kidneys. Many people with Alport syndrome also develop high levels of protein in their urine (proteinuria). The kidneys become less able to function as this condition progresses, resulting in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). People with Alport syndrome frequently develop sensorineural hearing loss, which is caused by abnormalities of the inner ear, during late childhood or early adolescence. Affected individuals may also have misshapen lenses in the eyes (anterior lenticonus) and abnormal coloration of the light-sensitive tissue at the back of the eye (retina). These eye abnormalities seldom lead to vision loss.

Extractions: Search for: Alport Syndrome is caused by defects in the chains of type IV collagen of the basement membranes. Type IV collagen is actually a family of six proteins, or chains, that are known as alpha-1 through alpha-6. Mutations that affect the alpha-3, alpha-4, and alphaâ€“5 chains cause Alport Syndrome. The 3 genetic forms of Alport Syndrome are: Mode of Inheritance XLAS â€“ When the mother is the carrier of the mutation her chance of transmitting it to her children is 50% with each pregnancy as she has two X chromosomes, one affected and one normal. Male offspring who inherit the mutation will have the disease as they have only one X chromosome and a Y chromosome. Female offspring have two X chromosomes, so the normal X chromosome buffers the effect of the mutated X chromosome. Therefore, daughters who inherit the mutation will be carriers like their mothers. Sons who inherit the mutation will pass the disease on to all of their daughters and to none of their sons, because they will give their mutated X-chromosome to their daughters and their normal Y chromosome to their sons. In about 10% of children with XLAS, the COL4A5 mutation arises spontaneously in the child, and neither parent carries a mutation.

http://www.medic8.com/genetics/alport-syndrome.htm

Extractions: Alport syndrome is a genetic condition characterised by the progressive loss of kidney function and hearing. Alport syndrome can also affect the eyes. The presence of blood in the urine (hematuria) is almost always found in this condition. Many people with Alport syndrome also exhibit high levels of protein in their urine (proteinuria). As this condition progresses, the kidneys become less able to function properly and kidney failure results. Hearing loss is a common feature of Alport syndrome, but the abnormalities in the eyes seldom lead to loss of vision. The prevalence of Alport syndrome is approximately 1 in 50,000 newborns. Mutations in the COL4A3, COL4A4, and COL4A5 genes cause Alport syndrome. Mutations in the COL4A3, COL4A4, or COL4A5 genes prevent the proper production or assembly of a specific collagen network composed of alpha3, alpha4, and alpha5 chains of type IV collagen. This network plays an important role in the kidney, specifically in structures called glomeruli. Glomeruli are clusters of specialized blood vessels that remove water and waste products from blood and create urine. When mutations prevent the formation of the type IV collagen network, the kidneys are not able to filter waste products from the blood and create urine normally. This defect allows blood and protein to pass into the urine, and leads to gradual scarring of the kidneys and kidney failure in many people with the disease.

They are located near the middle of your back, just below the rib cage. Inside each kidney about a million tiny structures called nephrons filter blood. They remove waste products and extra water, which become urine. The urine flows through tubes called ureters to your bladder, which stores the urine until you go to the bathroom. Damage to the nephrons results in kidney disease. This damage may leave kidneys unable to remove wastes. Usually the damage occurs slowly over years. There are no obvious symptoms, so you don't know it is happening. Many things can cause kidney disease. You are at risk if you have Your doctor can run tests to find out if you have kidney disease.

They also make hormones that keep your bones strong and your blood healthy. But if the kidneys are damaged, they don't work properly. Harmful wastes can build up in your body. Your blood pressure may rise. Your body may retain excess fluid and not make enough red blood cells. This is called kidney failure. If your kidneys fail, you need treatment to replace the work they normally do. The treatment options are dialysis or a kidney transplant . Each treatment has benefits and drawbacks. No matter which treatment you choose, you'll need to make some changes in your life, including how you eat and plan your activities. But with the help of healthcare providers, family and friends, most people with kidney failure can lead full and active lives.

Extractions: Search for: Finally, the good news is that there are excellent animal models of Alport Syndrome in mice and dogs. These models are being used in studies of the mechanisms of kidney damage in Alport Syndrome and to test potential therapies. Also some very exciting news is coming from the Department of Pediatrics at the University of Minnesota. They are developing an Alport Syndrome Treatment and Outcomes Registry (ASTOR) under the direction of Dr. Clifford E. Kashtan to facilitate clinical trials for the treatment ofÂ Alport Syndrome. The registry will be the first of its kind in North America. Potential drug therapies that might delay or prevent the development of kidney failure exist, but need to be evaluated through clinical trials. Conducting clinical trials for proposed treatments for Alport Syndrome present many challenges. Because Alport Syndrome is not a common disease, informative clinical trials will require the collaboration of investigators at multiple centers. Lastly, emerging research focusing on stem cells gives reason to hope that medical researchers will eventually identify ways to delay and/or prevent kidney failure in people with Alport Syndrome.

Extractions: Polycystic kidney disease Polycystic kidney disease (PKD) is the commonest inherited disease causing end stage renal failure (ESRF), and accounts for up to 8% of patients on RRT programmes. The major variety is an autosomal dominant disorder (ADPKD) said to affect 80/100,000 of the population. The kidneys become slowly enlarged and contain many fluid-filled cysts. There may be hypertension, haematuria, abdominal discomfort, or no symptoms at all. Cysts may not be detectable by ultrasound until affected individuals are in their 20s or even later. There may also be hepatic cysts, and there is also an increased incidence of subarachnoid haemorrhage and some other abnormalities. Cysts may bleed and become infected, and there is an increased incidence of renal stones and UTIs. No management strategy has yet been shown to affect the rate of renal deterioration, though drug trials are commencing. Hypertension should be treated. Patients with PKD do well on dialysis and after renal transplantation, but if kidney enlargement is massive, nephrectomy is sometimes required to make space for transplantation.

Extractions: ENT Related Syndromes DAVID ALBERT FRCS and FIONA CONNELL MBChB MRCPCH Definition A syndrome can be defined as a group of symptoms that collectively indicate or characterize a disease, psychological or congenital disorder. The derivation is from Introduction ENT surgeons dealing with children need to know the ENT features of a few common syndromes for example Down syndrome, Treacher Collins syndrome and Goldenhar syndrome, as they are likely to meet children with these conditions in their paediatric practice. The ENT surgeon may be presented with two distinct clinical scenarios. Firstly, a patient with a known syndrome who presents with an ENT problem. In this instance, the ENT surgeon needs to be aware of the ENT features of the syndrome so that the appropriate investigations and management can be instigated. The second and less common situation is when the ENT surgeon suspects that a child may have a syndrome which has not yet been diagnosed. This is rightly the province of the geneticist and while it is intellectually stimulating to try to piece together a syndrome it is best to avoid mentioning any suspicions at this stage. Much anxiety can otherwise result from ready access to the internet. Nevertheless they should know how to find out about these less common syndromes. This chapter provides a brief list of the more common ENT related syndromes. Referral to a geneticist is appropriate not only for children with undiagnosed conditions but also for those with the common syndromes so that genetic counselling and genetic testing can be offered both to the immediate family and also to those in the extended family. It may be surprising how many children with known genetic diagnoses who are under multiple hospital specialties, have never seen a geneticist.
