Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma Virus (RSV) and Cancer

Rous Sarcoma virus or RSV was discovered by F. Peyton Rous in the year 1911 as a filterable transmissible agent that could cause tumors in chickens. He won a Nobel Prize for this discovery in 1966. His experiments clearly demonstrated that some cancers could be caused by infectious agents and led to the discovery of many more cancer-causing viruses in animals as well as humans.
RSV is a retrovirus that contains two copies of a plus-strand RNA genome. Its genome consists of four main open...

Summary

A fetus diagnosed with micro-retrognathism via ultrasound in the 22nd week of gestation later received a postnatal diagnosis of Pierre-Robin syndrome. This case reviews differential diagnoses and complications of retrognathism.

Area of Science:

Medical Genetics
Prenatal Diagnosis
Pediatric Surgery

Background:

Pierre Robin sequence is a congenital anomaly characterized by micrognathia, glossoptosis, and airway obstruction.
Early diagnosis and management are crucial for preventing complications such as feeding difficulties and respiratory distress.

Observation:

A case report detailing a fetus diagnosed with micro-retrognathism during a routine 22-week ultrasound examination.
Postnatal confirmation of Pierre Robin syndrome in the diagnosed infant.

Findings:

The study highlights the importance of prenatal ultrasound in identifying potential cases of micro-retrognathism.
Discussion of differential diagnoses for fetal micro-retrognathism and associated conditions.

Implications:

Improved prenatal detection of Pierre Robin syndrome can facilitate timely intervention and management strategies.
Understanding the spectrum of retrognathism and its complications aids in comprehensive patient care.
This case underscores the need for a multidisciplinary approach in managing infants with Pierre Robin sequence.
