MAMC Intranet or WRMC Internet Referral Guidelines Guideline Updated: October 2001 Specialty: Developmental Pediatrics Dysmorphic Child Referral Guideline Diagnosis/Definition Major and/or minor congenital malformations. A congenital malformation defined as major if it is of medical and/or cosmetic significance (e.g., cleft lip/cleft palate, congenital heart defect, hydrocephalus, hemihypertrophy, etc.). A minor congenital anomaly is one with little or no medical or cosmetic significance (e.g., fifth finger clinodactyly, single transverse palmar crease, and partial 2-3 syndactyly of the toes). Initial Diagnosis and Management Based upon the pregnancy history, family history, medical/surgical history, and physical examination, the diagnosis of a certain specific multiple malformation syndrome may become obvious. In many cases, however, it is difficult to definitively establish a recognizable syndrome for the child's physical and developmental findings.

Table of Contents Case report J NEPHROL 2002; 15: 320-323 Hereditary nephritis with macrothrombocytopenia: Phenotypic variety and the genotypic defect Carlo Basile , Palmira Schiavone , Laurence Heidet Division of Nephrology, Hospital of Martina Franca - Italy ABSTRACT: A number of patients present to nephrologists with end-stage renal failure of unknown cause and many have small kidneys, making renal biopsy inadvisable. A small number may have clues to the diagnosis of hereditary nephritis, as in the patient we present here. In conclusion, this case serves to remind us: 1) that in patients presenting late to nephrologists with bilateral small kidneys, the diagnosis can still be made in some instances on the basis of other clinical signs known to be associated with recognized inherited syndromes; 2) that there are various types of inherited thrombocytopenia associated with nephritis; screening for nephritis is mandatory in all of them. Key words: Alport syndrome, Epstein syndrome, Hereditary nephritis, Macrothrombocytopenia, May-Hegglin anomaly, MYH9 gene Introduction A number of patients present to nephrologists with end-stage renal failure of unknown cause and many have small kidneys, making renal biopsy inadvisable. A small number may have clues to the diagnosis of hereditary nephritis. The importance of making a diagnosis relates not only to the patient's own prognosis but also permits screening and counselling of relatives, to avoid the late presentation as in the patient we present here.

Get Five DVDs for $.49 each. Join now. Tell me when this page is updated Genetics and Hearing Loss Hereditary factors account for about 50% of children with a moderate to profound hearing loss. Genetic counseling and genetic testing to determine the cause of a child's hearing loss and to supply information for the family is important for management of health problems which may accompany hearing loss. Genetic information is useful because some syndromes associated with deafness may have other health issues. For example, a deaf child with Usher syndrome may develop retinitis pigmentosa causing night blindness; Pendred syndrome is associated with a goiter; BOR syndrome or Melnick-Frase syndrome may cause ear pits, cysts in the neck and kidney anomalies; Waarenburg syndrome may be associated with heterochromia (eyes with different colors), white forelock of hair, and wide spaced eyes; and Alport syndrome may result in progressive kidney disease. Jervell Lange-Nielsen (JLN) syndrome is another example of a condition that emphasizs benefits of genetic testing. Children with JLN syndrome may develop heart disease and a prolonged QT interval on EKG reading. Thus, there are many genetic diseases with or without associated findings which may cause hearing loss with or without a positive family history. Therefore, early detection of a hearing loss in a child who inherited a syndromic form of hearing loss provides an opportunity to prevent or control other symptoms related to the hearing loss. The vast majority of inherited types of hearing loss are not associated with a syndrome(1) of other health problems but a careful analysis of the family history and clinical examination may be needed. Some parents may also benefit from genetic counseling in understanding the possibilities of hearing loss in future children or their risk of inheritance of genetic conditions in which hearing loss is a feature.

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."

She lost most of her hearing when she was very young so she did have a working hearing aid once, not long ago... but her beagle Blake decided it would fit better in his mouth than Melissa's ear... and he made it his snack... Unfortunately insurance does not cover the costs of a hearing aid (since they run somewhere around $3000-$4000 new) so now she is stuck with a munched on doggy-snack for a hearing aid! LAME! Since Blake took a bite out of it, her hearing aid barely works at all and it is very hard for her to hear most things at a normal volume... with your help we hope to spread the word about Aloprt Syndrome and raise money enough to get Melissa a brand-spanking new hearing aid one of these days!

Ancora oggi rimane dubbia la esistenza di una forma autosomica dominante di Sindrome di Alport. Con il progredire della malattia compare assai frequentemente l'ipertensione arteriosa. Le caratteristiche delle differenti mutazioni presentate dal gene che codifica la sintesi della catena A5 del collagene IV rendono conto delle diverse caratteristiche del quadro clinico presentato dai singoli pazienti e dai loro familiari. I recenti progressi di biologia molecolare relativi allo studio genetico della sindrome di Alport, possono spesso permettere una diagnosi diretta di malattia per mezzo della identificazione della specifica mutazione presentata dai pazienti.

Ivanov Research Centre for Medical Genetics, Moscow, Russia Russia occupies an area of some 170 millions sq. km. populated by about 150 million inhabitants belonging to more than 120 national and ethnic groups, some of which differ essentially in language, life style, culture, religion, etc. (Table 1). About a quarter of the total population belongs to rural residents. Overall birthrate is about 1.2 millions of newborns per year. The European part of Russia is by an order of magnitude more densely inhabited than the Asiatic one is. Especially scarce is the population of North-East Asiatic arctic and subarctic regions. The above features, as well as uneven and scarce geographical distribution of settlements, great distances between them set serious problems in communication and provision of services.
