From the search for diagnosis to treatment uncertainties: challenges of care for rare genetic diseases in Brazil

open access: yesCiência & Saúde Coletiva, 2019
Rare genetic diseases are an important public health problem, but they are still little studied in Collective Health. This article aims to analyze the ‘therapeutic itineraries’ of patients in search of a diagnosis and treatment for rare genetic diseases ...

Genomic copy number variation association study in Caucasian patients with nonsyndromic cryptorchidism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Copy number variation (CNV) is a potential contributing factor to many genetic diseases. Here we investigated the potential association of CNV with nonsyndromic cryptorchidism, the most common male congenital genitourinary defect, in a Caucasian ...

Pathway-based classification of genetic diseases

open access: yesMolecular Cytogenetics, 2019
In medical genetics, diseases are classified according to the nature (hypothetical nature) of the underlying genetic defect. The classification is “gene-centric” and “factor-centric”; a disease may be, thereby, designated as monogenic, oligogenic or ...

Familial vasculitides: granulomatosis with polyangitis and microscopic polyangitis in two brothers with differing anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody specificity [PDF]

open access: yes, 2016
Anti-neutrophil cytoplasm antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) is a group of rare autoimmune diseases. Although the aetiology of AAV is uncertain, it is likely that genetic and environmental factors contribute.
