Best disease (Best vitelliform macular dystrophy, BVMD) is a rare autosomal dominant disorder due to the mutation of BEST1 (or VMD2, TU15B ...) gene with incomplete penetrance and variable expression which typically presents in childhood. However, there are also reports of autosomal recessive BVMD. Its characteristic presentation is by bilateral fundus changes of egg-yolk appearance (as in a fried egg with sunny side up) at the macula in both eyes. The retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) is primarily affected. ... The visual prognosis of the disease is usually good, usually maintaining driving/reading capability in at least one eye throughout life. 5, record 2, English, - Best%27s%20disease

La maladie de Best [...] est une affection génétique à transmission autosomique dominante. Le gène responsable est localisé sur le bras long du chromosome 11. L'affection est caractérisée par une accumulation d’un matériel(lipofuscine) au sein de l'épithélium pigmentaire de la rétine. L'affection étant à transmission dominante, le diagnostic est habituellement porté dans l'enfance lors d’un examen systématique d’un enfant, de père ou de mère atteint. [...] L'aspect du fond d’œil est habituellement typique, permettant le diagnostic dès l'examen : présence d’un disque arrondi ou ovalaire, jaunâtre, discrètement surélevé mesurant d’un demi à trois diamètres papillaires.

Noonan syndrome is typically a genetically inherited disorder with heterogeneous phenotypic manifestations that can change with age. The most consistent features are wide-set eyes, low-set ears, short stature, and pulmonic stenosis. Noonan syndrome is typically inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. At least 8 gene mutations can cause this syndrome, and patient presentation can range from mild to severe. 5, record 3, English, - Noonan%20syndrome

Le syndrome de Noonan est un syndrome d’origine génétique qui se manifeste par un aspect particulier des traits du visage, des malformations du cœur et une petite taille. [...] Le syndrome de Noonan touche indifféremment les garçons et les filles. Cette maladie n’ est pas spécifique d’une population ou d’une région particulières. [...] Beaucoup de manifestations de la maladie sont présentes dès la naissance, mais elles sont discrètes et peu spécifiques. C'est pourquoi le diagnostic de syndrome de Noonan est souvent tardif(entre 5 et 10 ans) lorsqu'il n’ y a pas de rétrécissement de la valve pulmonaire ou de cardiomyopathie. Les particularités du visage s’estompent à l'âge adulte. 6, record 3, French, - syndrome%20de%20Noonan

Preimplantation genetic diagnosis (PGD) is a form of prenatal diagnosis that is performed on early embryos created by in vitro fertilization (IVF). In comparison to other established methods of prenatal diagnosis, such as chorionic villus sampling and amniocentesis, PGD is not performed on an ongoing intrauterine pregnancy in the late first or early second trimester, but on embryos developing in the IVF laboratory prior to transfer to the uterus. 2, record 4, English, - preimplantation%20genetic%20diagnosis

In a process called "molecular combing", DNA molecules attached at one end to a solid surface were extended and aligned by a receding air-water interface and left to dry on the surface. Molecular combing was observed to extend the length of the bacteriophage Lambda DNA molecule to 21.5+/-0.5 micrometers (unextended length, 16.2 micrometers). 1, record 12, English, - molecular%20combing

With the combing process, it was possible to: (i) extend a chromosomal Escherichia coli DNA fragment (10^6 base pairs) and (ii) detect a minute quantity of DNA (10^3 molecules).

Tener un riesgo genético no implica que usted desarrollará una enfermedad en particular, pero sí que usted tiene mayor probabilidad a que si usted no tuviera el riesgo. Los genes, en parte, juegan el papel en determinar si usted desarrollará o no ciertas enfermedades.

Elle consiste à utiliser, lors d’une première réaction d’amplification, un ensemble d’oligonucléotides de 15 bases, représentant le plus grand nombre de séquences possibles, et permettant d’amplifier 95% du génome; cette technique augmente donc de façon considérable la quantité de matériel de départ. 1, record 17, French, - technique%20de%20pr%C3%A9amplification%20du%20g%C3%A9nome
