[Gastrointestinal obstruction in the mosaic trisomy X]
Abstract:
Trisomic X is a sex chromosomal abnormality that may be presented in mosaic. This is not extremely rare, the majority of cases go undiagnosed. The prevalence has been established to 1/1000 females. It is clinically characterized by tall stature, microcephaly, hypertelorism, congenital abnormalities, and motor and language delays. The association between the trisomic X and gastrointestinal malformations is extremely rare. We report a case of mosaic trisomic X with gastric obstruction expanding the clinical spectrum of this entity and emphasizing its unknown pathogenesis.

Radionuclide Testing
Radionuclide testing is a sophisticated medical technique for assessing gastrointestinal motility. It focuses on gastric emptying and colonic transit time. Radioactive markers track the movement of food through the digestive system, providing insights into gastrointestinal disorders.
In gastric emptying studies, a meal's liquid and...

Glucose Transporters
Facilitated diffusion-glucose transporters (GLUTs) are encoded by the solute-linked carrier (SLC) family 2, subfamily A gene family, or SLC2A. The 14 GLUT protein members are distributed into three classes:
