Abstract The use of rapid DNA sequencing technology in severely ill children developed countries can accurately identify diagnoses and positively impact patient outcomes. This study sought to evaluate the outcome Thai adults with unknown etiologies critical illnesses deployment whole exome (rWES) Thailand. We recruited 54 unrelated patients from 11 hospitals throughout median age was 3 months (range, 2 days–55 years) including 47 7 52% males. time obtaining blood samples issuing rWES report...

Spindle cell pseudotumors may occur due to mycobacterial infection, especially in immunocompromised hosts including those with AIDS. They have been reported from many body sites; the lymph nodes are predominantly involved, most frequently associated Mycobacterium avium complex infection. To best of our knowledge, Mycobacterium-associated spindle not previously described brain stem and association mixed infection.We describe a man AIDS who presented right hemiparesis truncal ataxia.

Abstract Background People with autosomal recessive disorders often were born without awareness of the carrier status their parents. The American College Medical Genetics and Genomics (ACMG) recommends screening 113 genes known to cause X-linked conditions in couples seeking learn about risk having children these have an appropriate reproductive plan. Methods We analyzed exome sequencing data 1,642 unrelated Thai individuals identify pathogenic variant (PV) frequencies recommended by ACMG....

Background With the benefit of using next-generation sequencing (NGS), our aim was to examine prevalence known monogenic causes in early-onset Parkinson’s disease (EOPD) patients Thailand. The association between clinical features, such as levodopa-induced dyskinesia (LID), and genotypes were also explored. Method NGS studies carried out for EOPD Tertiary-referral center movement disorders. who had LID symptoms enrolled this study (n = 47). We defined a patient with onset PD at or below 50...

Genetic testing is widely recommended for all epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) patients. However, an increased probability of identifying germline mutations has been reported in selected patients with risk factors such as a family history or personal and high-grade serous carcinoma (HGSC) subtype. HGSC to be the most common subtype EOC worldwide (approximately 70%). this less prevalent Thai (reported only 20%). The difference distribution various subtypes may reflect incidence patients.To...

Familial clusters of aortic dissection without connective tissue diseases are rare. We report a family with dissection, congenital iris flocculi and hypertension in the young. This suggests that this combination an uncommon familial phenotype may have common etiology.

Carnitine palmitoyltransferase II (CPTII) deficiency is a mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation disorder that can present antenatally as congenital brain malformations, or postnatally with lethal neonatal, severe infantile, the most common adult myopathic forms. No case of hyperammonemia without liver dysfunction has been reported.We described 23-year-old man who presented to emergency department seizures and was found have markedly elevation serum ammonia.

Abstract Objectives We sought to investigate: (1) the relationship between transthyretin (TTR) pathogenic variants and their corresponding echocardiographic atrial ventricular strains in patients with TTR cardiomyopathy (TTR-CM) clinical evidence of heart failure (HF), (2) fibrosis assessed by cardiac MRI. Methods results Fifty Asian biopsy or scintigraphy proven TTR-CM stage C D (C/D) HF were identified from an advanced clinic a tertiary-care university hospital. Genetic testing for genes...

Background: Lynch syndrome increases lifetime risk of endometrial cancer to 40-60%. Screening with molecular tumor testing for mismatch repair (MMR) proteins have been recommended. This study aims evaluate the incidence MMR deficiency and germline mutation in Thai patients. Methods: Immunohistochemistry proteins, including MLH1, MSH2, MSH6 PMS2 were tested 166 surgical specimens. Patients who had deficiencies offered genetic counseling a using gene-panel next generation sequencing. Results:...

A 30-year old man with acute chest pain was diagnosed inferoposterior wall myocardial infarction following electrocardiography. After a failed coronary angiography, an echocardiogram revealed aortic intimal flap after which dissection diagnosed. The patient received successful Bentall operation without immediate complication. Retrospective examination then confirmed the diagnosis of Marfan syndrome. This case demonstrates may mimic infarction.
