BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee Medical Policy Manual General Policy for Inherited Genetic Disorders PURPOSE To establish a basis for determining the medical necessity of genetic testing. DESCRIPTION Genetic testing involves the analysis of human DNA, RNA, chromosomes, proteins, and certain metabolites. These tests are used to detect certain hereditary diseases. When used in clinical settings, these tests can be used to predict risk of disease, identify carriers, and formulate prenatal diagnosis/prognosis. POLICY BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee recognizes the need for consistency in the determination of medical appropriateness for genetic testing. Services will be considered medically appropriate only if they have met BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee's technology evaluation criteria. THE FOLLOWING POLICIES HAVE BEEN REVIEWED. PLEASE REFER TO THE POLICY TO DETERMINE MEDICAL APPROPRIATENESS. DIAGNOSTICS: Analysis of Human DNA in Stool Samples as a Technique for Colorectal Cancer Screening Cytochrome p450 Genotyping Gene Expression Profiling Assays as a Technique to Determine Prognosis for Managing Breast Cancer Treatment Gene-based Tests for Screening, Detection, and/or Management of Prostate Cancer Genetic Testing: Alzheimer's Disease Genetic Testing: BRCA1 or BRCA2 for Breast or Ovarian Cancer Genetic Testing: Congenital Cardiac Channelopathies Genetic Testing: Cutaneous Malignant Melanoma Genetic Testing: Cystic Fibrosis Genetic Testing:

Recommended Books The Role of Diet in Genetic Disorders Read my Contents: Overview Genetic Disorders and Birth Defects Treatable Through Diet Prenatal Nutrition and Birth Defects Birth Defects, Genetic Disorders and Logic ... General Information on Genes, Nutrition and Disease Overview Many researchers and support groups state that birth defects and genetic disorders, especially connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome osteogenesis imperfecta and Ehlers-Danlos syndrome , can't possibly be cured through diet because they are inherited genetic disorders. This conclusion is invalid simply because many birth defects and inherited genetic disorders have been found to be improved, or even cured, through diet. The old school of thinking that a birth defect or inherited disorder had to be caused by a single gene is no longer widely held in medical circles. The breakthrough concept in research is that many birth defects and inherited disorders are influenced by both genes and environmental factors, especially nutrition. Genes may make people susceptible to certain defects and disorders, but they are often only a part of the picture. "Genes are not necessarily destiny. They are influenced by the chemistry of what we consume." - article on

Alkaptonuria From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search Alkaptonuria Classification and external resources Homogentisic acid ICD E ILDS ... Alkaptonuria Alkaptonuria black urine disease or alcaptonuria ) is a rare inherited genetic disorder of phenylalanine and tyrosine metabolism. This is an autosomal recessive condition that is due to a defect in the enzyme homogentisate 1,2-dioxygenase EC ), which participates in the degradation of tyrosine. As a result, a toxic tyrosine byproduct called homogentisic acid (or alkapton) accumulates in the blood and is excreted in urine in large amounts(hence -uria ). Excessive homogentisic acid causes damage to cartilage ochronosis , leading to osteoarthritis ) and heart valves as well as precipitating as kidney stones . Treatment with nitisinone , which suppresses homogentisic acid production, is being studied. Alkaptonuria is more common in Slovakia and the Dominican Republic than in other countries. Contents Signs and symptoms Diagnosis Pathophysiology Treatment ... edit Signs and symptoms Alkaptonuria is often asymptomatic , but the sclera of the eyes may be pigmented (often only at a later age) , and the skin may be darkened in sun-exposed areas and around sweat glands ; sweat may be coloured brown. Urine may turn brown if collected and left exposed to open air, especially when left standing for a period of time.

That informal group has evolved into a Board of 10 people who meet monthly to fulfill the association’s goals. DEBRA Canada’s goals are: * Be a source of authoritative information for EB families. * Support EB families and give them a sense of community. * Provide funding for the unique medical care needs of EB families. * Heighten awareness of EB in Canada. * Make available funding for research in the hope that there will one day be a cure for all forms of EB While the largest group of DEBRA Canada’s members and volunteers are located in Southern Ontario, our membership crosses Canada from coast to coast. If you have EB or know someone who does, please subscribe – or encourage them to subscribe – to our mailing list. You will receive the association’s newsletter, which is full of current, practical information, and events announcements. We need to know you are out there. We want to help.

Her "Birthday Girl" ribbon still hung on her bedroom door. She had a 5 month-old baby sister that she had been wishing for ever since she learned what a baby sister was. Alexis had no previous symptoms or serious illnesses, and there was no reason for her family to think she was anything but perfectly healthy. She led a normal, active life as a second grader at Southeast Elementary in Parkville, MO. She took gymnastics and played soccer and softball. She loved her family, and she loved her life. Alexis stayed home from school on March 6 with the stomach flu. The next morning she was found in her bed, unconscious and unresponsive.
