T: Tuberus sclerosis


H: Hypercholesterolemia, Hereditary hemorrhagic telengiectasia, hereditary spherocytosis, huntington disease

Very Powerful DOMINANT Humans

Chest pain, dyspnea on exertion, ST elevation, Troponin I is elevated, HR: 110 bpm, RR: 25/min, yellowish papules on upper eyelids

Hypercholesterolemia

Fatigue and skin yellowing, anemic in the past, recent viral illness, HR:120 bpm, jaundice, Hgb: 8.1, MCV: 85, MCHC: 39, increased cell hemolysis

Hereditary spherocytosis

Can lead to MI before age 20

Familial hypercholesterolemia

Tendon xanthomas, classically on alchilles tendon

Familial hypercholesterolemia

How does the fact that a patient is homozygote or heterozygote for familial hypercholesterolemia affect the prognosis?

Hetero is less severe. With LDL levels over 300, Homo with LDL over 700

Diagnosis of hereditary spherocytosis is made with what criteria?

- Spheroid erythrocytes


- Hemolytic anemia


- Abnormal osmotic fragility test

Why do patients with spherocytosis have high blood viscocity?

BC their RBC are not flexible due to spectrin or ankyrin defect

What labs are altered in patients with hereditary spherocytosis ?

high MCHC, blood viscosity, possibly evidence of recent viral infection

What are the 7 C's of huntington disease?

Chorea, caudate atrophy, decreased actylcholine (&GABA) in the brain, CAG trinucleotide repeat order, Cognitive decline, Cuarenta (years old), Chromosome cuatro

Fibrillin-1 gene mutation

Marfan syndrome

RET gene

MEN2A and 2B in Multiple endocrine neoplasias (MEN)

MEN1 gene

Associated to subtype MEN1

Characterized by familial tumors of endocrine glands

MEN (1,2A, 2B)

Associated to pancreas, parathyroid and pituitary neoplasms

MEN 1- MEN 1 gene

Associated to medullary thyroid, mucosal tumor and pheochromocytomas

MEN2B - RET gene

Associated to pheochromocytoma, medullary thyroid and parathyroid tumors

MEN 2A - RET gene

Caused by mutations in the NFI gene on chromosome 17:17

Neurofibromatosis type I (Von Recklinghausen)

Caused by mutations in the NF2 gene on chromosome 22

Neurofibromatosis type II

Neurocutaneous disorder with multi-organ system involvement, characterized by numerous benign hamartomas.

Tuberous sclerosis

Due to mutated hemartin or tuberin gene that cause non-malignant tumors in brain and other organs.

Tuberous sclerosis

Associated to deletion of VHL gene on chromosome 3

Von- hippel lindau disease

Disorder characterized by development of numerous tumors, both benign and malignant

Von- hippel lindau disease

Associated with hemangioblastomas (retina, cerebellum and medulla), pheochromocytomas and multiple renal cell carcinoma

Von- hippel lindau disease

Seizures, intelectual dissability, cardiac rhabdomyomas, cortical and retinal hemartomas, astrocytomas

Tuberous sclerosis

Hearing loss, bilateral tinnitus, decreased vision, hyperpigmented skin lesion, cerebellar testing difficulty, bilateral catatacts, bilateral decreased hearing, hyperpigmented arm macules

Neurofibromatosis type 2

Bilateral acoustic schwannomas, juvenile cataracts, nonmalignant brain tumors on CN VIII

Neurofibromatosis type 2

Associated with floppy mitral valve, dissecting aortic aneurysm, berry aneurysm

Marfan syndrome

Associated with mitral valve prolapse, liver disease, berry aneurysm

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease

Neural tumors and pigmented iris hamartomas (leish nodules)

Neurofibromatosis type I

Cafe au lait spots, scolyosis, leish nodules

Neurofibromatosis type I

Very strong association with colon cancer

Familial adenomatous polyposis

Cystic medial necrosis of the aorta

Marfan syndrome

Defect in fibroblast growth factor receptor (FGF) receptor 3

Achondroplasia

Flank pain, hematuria, HTN, renal failure, always bilateral, massive englargement of kidneys due to multiple large cysts

Autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD)

Progresses to colon cancer unless colon is resected

FAP

Telangiectasia, recurrent epistaxis, skin discolorations, arteriovenous malformations (AVMs)

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (Osler-weber-rendu)

Type of FAP with polyps in the colon and tumors outside the colon.

Gardners syndrome
