Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs01:05

Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms-SNPs

A single nucleotide polymorphism or SNP is a single nucleotide variation at a specific genomic position in a large population. It is the most prevalent type of sequence variation found in the human genome. Point mutations that occur in more than 1% of the population qualify as SNPs. These are present once every 1000 nucleotides on an average in the human genome. Replacement of a purine with another purine (A/G) or a pyrimidine with another pyrimidine (C/T) is known as a transition. In contrast,...

Poliomyelitis01:17

Poliomyelitis

Poliomyelitis is caused by poliovirus, a small, non-enveloped, positive-sense RNA virus of the Picornaviridae family and Enterovirus genus. Transmission occurs primarily via the fecal-oral route, often through ingestion of contaminated water or food. The virus initially replicates in the oropharynx and intestinal mucosa, particularly in lymphoid tissues such as the tonsils, Peyer’s patches, and regional lymph nodes. Primary viremia follows, allowing dissemination throughout the body.In most...
Pleiotropy01:33

Pleiotropy

Pleiotropy is the phenomenon in which a single gene impacts multiple, seemingly unrelated phenotypic traits. For example, defects in the SOX10 gene cause Waardenburg Syndrome Type 4, or WS4, which can cause defects in pigmentation, hearing impairments, and an absence of intestinal contractions necessary for elimination. This diversity of phenotypes results from the expression pattern of SOX10 in early embryonic and fetal development. SOX10 is found in neural crest cells that form melanocytes,...
Investigation of Disease Outbreaks01:23

Investigation of Disease Outbreaks

Multistate foodborne outbreaks pose significant public health risks and require meticulous investigation to identify sources and implement control measures. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) utilizes a dynamic seven-step process for these investigations, integrating data from laboratories, interviews, and environmental assessments to protect public health.Outbreak Detection: The detection of multistate outbreaks typically begins with PulseNet, the CDC's national laboratory...
Toxoplasmosis01:28

Toxoplasmosis

Toxoplasmosis, a zoonotic disease caused by the protozoan Toxoplasma gondii, poses significant public health challenges globally due to its high seroprevalence and varied clinical manifestations. As an obligate intracellular parasite, T. gondii can infect all warm-blooded vertebrates, but felids are its only definitive hosts, shedding unsporulated oocysts into the environment. Humans typically acquire the infection through ingestion of tissue cysts in undercooked meat or oocysts from...

Summary

Poland syndrome, a rare congenital condition, was diagnosed in a 2-year-old girl presenting with abdominal pain. Early diagnosis and multidisciplinary care are crucial for managing this chest wall and upper limb abnormality.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Case Reports
  • Congenital Malformations
  • Skeletal Dysplasias

Background:

  • Poland syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by chest wall asymmetry and upper limb malformations.
  • The etiology remains unclear, but it is thought to involve vascular disruptions during fetal development.

Observation:

  • A 2-year-old female presented with abdominal pain, revealing asymmetric chest depression and right-hand brachysyndactyly.
  • These physical findings were key diagnostic indicators for Poland syndrome.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the varied clinical presentations of Poland syndrome, even when the primary complaint is unrelated to the typical limb or chest anomalies.
  • Discussion includes different Poland syndrome forms, classification, and surgical intervention criteria.

Implications:

  • Emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis for Poland syndrome to prevent long-term complications.
  • Underscores the necessity of a multidisciplinary approach for optimal patient rehabilitation and management.
