Family pattern of idiopathic hypercalciuria and its subtypes

Abstract

We determined the mode of inheritance of idiopathic hypercalciuria and its subtypes. We evaluated 40 children with symptomatic idiopathic hypercalciuria and 129 of their first-degree relatives (80 parents and 49 siblings). In hypercalciuric individuals in families with at least 2 affected members the type of idiopathic hypercalciuria was determined by the calcium loading test. Of the 40 affected children 19 (47.5%) had 1 or more affected first-degree relatives (23 of 80 parents and 2 of 49 siblings). In all 44 affected members of the 19 hypercalciuric families (19 index cases, 23 parents and 2 siblings) the type of idiopathic hypercalciuria was determined (absorptive in 38 and renal in 6). Study of the pedigree of the 19 families showed that idiopathic hypercalciuria appears to be transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. With only 1 exception the subtype of disease was specific for members of the same family. Idiopathic hypercalciuria has a familial or sporadic pattern. In the familial pattern an autosomal dominant inheritance is present. The type of the disease is identical in affected members of the same family. The absorptive subtype is more frequent.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
