概括
PTEN hamartoma瘤综合征 (PHTS) 比以前认为的更常见和多样化. 人口基因组学揭示PHTS的诊断不足,约影响7500人中的1人,并与更高的癌症风险有关.
科学领域:
- 基因组学就是基因组学.
- 在瘤学瘤学.
- 医学遗传学 医学遗传学
背景情况:
- PTEN hamartoma瘤综合征 (PHTS) 是一种与生殖线PTEN变异相关的遗传疾病,使个体易患癌症.
- 由于依赖于有限的,高度精选的患者队列,对PHTS的全临床谱和患病率的了解很少.
- 在一般人群中,PHTS往往被低估,其患病率被低估.
研究的目的:
- 为了确定PHTS的流行率和临床谱在一个大,多样化的人口中.
- 与其他遗传资料相比,评估PTEN变异个体的癌症风险和诊断年龄.
- 为了确定与PTEN变体相关的新型表型关联.
主要方法:
- 基因组和电子健康记录数据的分析来自414,830名参与者在我们所有人的研究计划.
- 鉴定具有致病性或可能致病性PTEN变体的个体.
- 在PTEN变异携带者,携带其他癌症相关基因变异的携带者和非携带者之间比较癌症患病率和诊断时的年龄.
主要成果:
- 确定了55名具有致病性PTEN变异的个体,其中大多数人没有先前的PHTS诊断,表明严重的不足.
- 估计在美国队列中PHTS患病率约为1/7500,大约是历史估计的26倍.
- 携带PTEN变异的携带者在首次癌症诊断时显示出最高的癌症患病率和显著较早的年龄.
- 观察到超出典型的过度生长特征的更广泛的系统性参与,包括腺囊缩症,睡眠呼吸暂停,黑色黄斑症和极度肥胖症.
结论:
- PHTS的流行程度和临床异质性远远高于目前所认为的.
- 种群规模的基因组数据对于全面表征和早期检测PHTS至关重要.
- 当前的临床实践可能低估了PHTS的负担和影响,强调需要提高认识和诊断努力.

What is Population Genetics?
64.8K
A population is composed of members of the same species that simultaneously live and interact in the same area. When individuals in a population breed, they pass down their genes to their offspring. Many of these genes are polymorphic, meaning that they occur in multiple variants. Such variations of a gene are referred to as alleles. The collective set of all the alleles within a population is known as the gene pool.

Conservation of Small Populations
17.4K
Small population sizes put a species at extreme risk of extinction due to a lack of variation, and a consequent decrease in adaptability. This weakens the chances of survival under pressures such as climate change, competition from other species, or new diseases. Large populations are more likely to survive pressures such as these, as such populations are more likely to harbor individuals that have genetic variants that are adaptive under new stresses. Small populations are much less...

Population Growth
28.6K
Population size is dynamic, increasing with birth rates and immigration, and decreasing with death rates and emigration. In ideal conditions with unlimited resources, populations can increase exponentially, which plots as a J-shaped growth rate curve of population size against time. This type of curve is characteristic of newly-introduced invasive species, or populations that have suffered catastrophic declines and are rebounding.

Nephrotic Syndrome I : Introduction
661
Nephrotic Syndrome is a chronic kidney disorder defined by clinical findings such as severe proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia, and edema. These symptoms result from damage to the glomeruli, the kidney’s filtering units, increasing their permeability to proteins.Definition and Meaning:Proteinuria, defined as the loss of more than 3.5 grams of protein per day in adults, is a crucial feature of nephrotic syndrome. This condition is often accompanied by edema, the accumulation of...

Acute Coronary Syndrome I: Introduction
1.0K
Acute Coronary Syndrome (ACS) encompasses a spectrum of heart conditions caused by sudden obstruction of coronary arteries, typically resulting from the rupture of an atherosclerotic plaque and subsequent thrombus (blood clot) formation. This obstruction can lead to partial or complete blockage of blood flow, causing varying degrees of myocardial ischemia or infarction.ACS includes the following clinical entities:Unstable Angina (UA)Non-ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction (NSTEMI)ST-Elevation...
