HH PART 2 Hereditаry hemоchrоmаtоsis (HH) is аn autosomal recessive disorder that results in an over-absorption of iron, which cannot be excreted from the body resulting in iron overload. This usually results in damage to a number of internal organs (including the liver and heart), and ultimately death if left untreated. HH is the most common autosomal recessive disease in European populations. Early diagnosis is important, because the toxic effects of iron overload can be wholly prevented by a combination of treatments including bloodletting, diet modification, and the administration of certain drugs (iron chelators). Detection of hemochromatosis can be done through routine blood tests, MRIs, and liver biopsy. The hereditary form of the disease is most commonly due (90% of cases) to a mutation in the HFE gene, with homozygosity for the C282Y allele being the genotype responsible for nearly all clinical findings of hemochromatosis; however penetrance and expressivity of the disease varies, and not all homozygotes show the disorder, or have symptoms with the same severity. A genetic test has been developed to detect the C282Y allele. It is an allele-specific assay, which can detect the variant nucleotide responsible for the missense mutation at amino acid 282. Sensitivity for the homozygote genotype is 98.4% (false negative rate of 1.6%), and specificity for non-homozygous genotypes is 99.8% (false positive rate of 0.2%). A genetic test is typically recommended for people who are relatives of affected individuals, or to confirm a diagnosis based on other clinical findings. 2) Due to reduced penetrance and variable expressivity, someone with the disease genotype may not have any symptoms. If your patient is in this group – they are homozygous for the C282Y mutation, but currently have no symptoms - what would your advice be regarding follow up?
The imаge belоw shоws results frоm а quаntitative-fluorescent (QF) PCR screen of a fetus. This is similar to the technology used to type STR alleles in forensic DNA analysis. The PCR incorporates a fluorescent tag which can be visualized. The height of the peak (y axis) is proportional to the amount of DNA amplified. Any markers with the “D13…” nomenclature are found on chromosome 13, “D18…” are found on chromosome 18 and “D21…” are found on chromosome 21. AMXY is the ameleogenin locus which is found on both the X and Y chromosomes, as is the X22 locus. HPRT is on the X chromosome (but not the Y). The ratios under each marker refer to the relative peak heights. This fetus has two abnormalities – what are they?
