Abstract Background The incidence of cancer diagnosed during pregnancy is increasing. Data relating to investigation and management, as well maternal foetal outcomes lacking in a United Kingdom (UK) population. Methods In this retrospective study we report data from 119 patients with 14 centres the UK across five-year period (2016-2020). Results Median age at diagnosis was 33 years, breast, skin haematological most common primary sites. majority cases were new diagnoses (109 patients,...
Alpers' syndrome is an early-onset neurodegenerative disorder often caused by biallelic pathogenic variants in the gene encoding catalytic subunit of polymerase-gamma (POLG) which essential for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) replication. characterized intractable epilepsy, developmental regression and liver failure typically affects children aged 6 months-3 years. Although later onset are now recognized, they differ that primarily epileptic encephalopathy with ataxia. The progressive, without...
Abstract Objectives Mitochondrial methionyl‐ tRNA formyltransferase ( MTFMT ) is required for the initiation of translation and elongation mitochondrial protein synthesis . Pathogenic variants in have been associated with Leigh syndrome LS multiple respiratory chain deficiencies. We sought to elucidate spectrum clinical, neuroradiological molecular genetic findings patients bi‐allelic pathogenic Methods Retrospective cohort study combining new cases previously published cases. Results...
Dysferlinopathy is an autosomal recessive muscular dystrophy, caused by bi-allelic variants in the gene encoding dysferlin (DYSF). Onset typically occurs second to third decade and characterised slowly progressive skeletal muscle weakness atrophy of proximal and/or distal muscles four limbs. There are rare cases symptomatic DYSF variant carriers. Here, we report a large family with dominantly inherited hyperCKaemia late-onset dystrophy.Genetic analysis identified co-segregating novel...
Selective internal radiotherapy (SIRT) with yttrium-90 (Y-90) is an intra-arterial therapy for hepatic malignancy in patients who are unsuitable surgical resection. This treatment considered palliative, although some can demonstrate a response that adequate to facilitate resection curative intent.All underwent liver post SIRT were reviewed. Data gathered included patient demographics, tumor type, details, and post-operative outcomes.Twelve followed by (7 males 5 females). Pathologies...
