Sex-linked Disorders

Sex-linked Disorders

Like autosomes, sex chromosomes contain a variety of genes necessary for normal body function. When a mutation in one of these genes results in biological deficits, the disorder is considered sex-linked.

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,...

Huntington Disease l: Introduction

Huntington Disease l: Introduction

Huntington disease or HD is a progressive, fatal neurodegenerative disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern.PathophysiologyIt is caused by expansion of the CAG trinucleotide repeat in the HTT gene on chromosome 4 (4p16.3), producing an abnormal huntingtin protein with an expanded polyglutamine tract. This misfolded protein disrupts cellular function, leading to neuronal death. Normal alleles have ≤26 repeats, 27–35 are intermediate (risk of expansion), 36–39 show reduced penetrance,...

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

This study presents two siblings with Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome (HGS), a rare genetic condition causing rapid aging. The cases suggest a potential autosomal recessive inheritance pattern for HGS, differing from the typical dominant inheritance.

Background:

Hutchinson-Gilford syndrome (HGS), or progeria, is a rare genetic disorder characterized by premature aging.
Typically, HGS follows an autosomal dominant inheritance pattern.
While exceedingly rare, familial cases have been reported, challenging the typical inheritance model.

Purpose of the Study:

To report a unique case of HGS in siblings.
To investigate the potential for autosomal recessive inheritance in HGS.

Main Methods:

Clinical observation of two siblings presenting with HGS features.
Review of existing literature on HGS inheritance patterns.

Main Results:

A 14-year-old male and a 13-year-old female sibling presented with clinical manifestations of HGS.
The occurrence in siblings suggests a possible deviation from the usual autosomal dominant inheritance.

Conclusions:

The presented sibling cases of HGS may indicate an autosomal recessive inheritance pattern.
Further genetic studies are warranted to confirm the inheritance mechanism in these patients.
