Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism Spectrum Disorder

Autism spectrum disorder (ASD) is a neurodevelopmental condition marked by persistent deficits in social communication and interaction alongside restrictive and repetitive behaviors or interests. ASD is sometimes accompanied by intellectual impairment.
These core symptoms manifest differently among individuals, ranging from mild to severe. The disorder's complexity extends beyond its clinical presentation, encompassing a diverse range of biological, cognitive, and sociocultural influences.

The Retinoblastoma Gene

The Retinoblastoma Gene

Tumor suppressor genes are normal genes that can slow down cell division, repair DNA mistakes, or program the cells for apoptosis in case of irreparable damage. Hence, they play an essential role in preventing the proliferation of damaged cells.
The first-ever tumor suppressor gene called Rb was identified in retinoblastoma - a rare eye tumor in children. In inherited forms of the disease, a child inherits one defective copy of the Rb gene, which predisposes them to retinoblastoma. However,...

Background:

Bardet-Biedl Syndrome (BBS) is a rare genetic disorder characterized by a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations.
Early diagnosis and management are crucial for improving patient outcomes.

Observation:

A 9-year-old boy presented with progressive vision loss and night blindness since birth.
Clinical examination revealed nystagmus, waxy disc atrophy, arteriolar attenuation, and retinal degeneration.
Additional findings included short stature, developmental delays, obesity, polydactyly, and hypogenitalism.

Findings:

The patient was diagnosed with Bardet-Biedl Syndrome based on the constellation of ocular, developmental, and physical abnormalities.
Ocular findings were consistent with advanced retinal degeneration.

Implications:

This case highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing rare genetic syndromes like BBS.
Understanding the phenotypic variability of BBS is essential for accurate diagnosis and genetic counseling.
