...Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome (SLOS) is an inherited metabolic disorder in which cholesterol is not synthesized properly. Without cholesterol, the body is not able to develop or function as it should. Symptoms of SLOS can vary significantly depending on the amount of cholesterol the body is able to produce. This disorder presents characteristics of dismorphic facial features, multiple congenital malformations, intellectual disabilities, and behavioral disorders. Currently there is not a cure for SLOS, however some symptoms can be surgically corrected and others can be managed with cholesterol supplements. SLOS is an autosomal recessive disorder that is caused by an inborn error of biosynthesis that results in severe cholesterol deficiency and the accumulation of 7-dehydrocholesterol (DHCR7) (Yu & Patel, 2005). In other words, SLOS is an inherited disorder that is passed down from parent to child. In order for a child to inherit the mutated DHCR7 gene, both parents have to be carriers of the trait and pass on a defective copy of the gene. In an article by Kelley and Hennekam (2000), they state that SLOS is a well known malformation syndrome with principle characteristics. SLOS seems to be more prominent in the Caucasian population of North European origin with a carrier frequency of 1 in 70 people (Malforzata, Whelan, Heshka, & Hill, 1999). People with an African or Japanese origin are less likely to inherit this syndrome. SLOS relates to anatomy and physiology in multiple...

...Board adopted resolution EB126.R6. DEFINITION 2. The International statistical classification of diseases and related health problems, tenth revision (ICD-10), includes birth defects in Chapter XVII: Congenital malformations, deformations and chromosomal abnormalities. Birth defects like inborn errors of metabolism and blood disorders of prenatal origin appear in other chapters. Birth defects can be defined as structural or functional abnormalities, including metabolic disorders, which are present from birth. The term congenital disorder is considered to have the same definition; the two terms are used interchangeably.2 The eleventh revision of the classification provides an opportunity for a review of the current entry. 3. Irrespective of definition, birth defects can cause spontaneous abortions and stillbirths and are a significant but underrecognized cause of mortality and disability among infants and children under five years of age. They can be life-threatening, result in long-term disability, and negatively affect individuals, families, health-care systems and societies. BIRTH DEFECTS AND GLOBAL NEWBORN AND CHILD MORTALITY 4. Congenital disorders are a common condition. WHO estimates that some 260 000 deaths worldwide (about 7% of all neonatal deaths) were caused by congenital anomalies in 2004.3 They are most prominent as a cause of death in settings where overall...

...Cleft Lip and Palate Critical Thinking Assignment #4 Oral Health 3/20/2015 Cleft Lip and Palate Cleft Lip and Palate are birth defects that effect an individuals oral cavity and face. A cleft lip affects the upper lip and can vary in degrees of severity, ranging from a notch to a complete opening extending into the nose. Aside from the lip the cleft palate affects the roof of the mouth, with a groove that may extend through the dental arch (Staff, 2015). These abnormalities may occur individually or together and although they have high incidence of occurring as an isolated birth defect they can also occur in the presence of other genetic birth defects (Staff, 2015). The cause of these malformations may be from exposure to teratogens in the early part of the first trimester or due to mutated genes (Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). Teratogen's are agent that cause abnormalities in a developing fetus (Staff, 2015). The affect of this condition is not limited to causing visual disfigurment, but significant affects of speech development and feeding disturbances as well. Symptoms of this defect include the separation of the lip, palate, or both and various degrees of nasal distortion (Staff, 2015). The incidence of cleft lip and palate varies dependant upon racial factors. With approximately 1 out of 1,000 Caucasians affected (Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, 2014). The overal incidence of cleft palate in itself is rather prominant, effecting...

...Hydrocephalus Hydrocephalus Hydrocephalus is an anomaly which origins have been linked to both genetic and environmental factors. Saladin, (2007) has defined hydrocephalus as an abnormal accumulation of central spinal fluid (CSF) in the brain usually as a result of a blockage in the CSF flow and the subsequent reabsorption. The rate of occurrence of hydrocephalus varies by whom is asked; there are not any national registries therefore there is not a data base that can accurately depict a real number of people afflicted with this anomaly. Instances of hydrocephalus are not all associated with genetics, some other factors that have been documented are: congenital malformations, intercerebral hemorrhage, infection and maternal alcohol abuse. Two article will be discussed in the paper; one article is dedicated to genetics while the second article discusses environmental factors that have been associated with hydrocephalus. Article 1 Genetics of human hydrocephalus The article discusses that evidence is mounting that genetic factors play a role in the “pathogenesis of hydrocephalus”. Hydrocephalus has two forms; acquired and inherited. There are several documented instanced of genetic involved in hydrocephalus in animals, but the documentation that has been gathered to date is not as substantial in human hydrocephalus. “Hydrocephalus is considered complex and has multifactorial neurological defects.” It is believed that one of the possible causes is related to protein and...

...Congenital Abnormalities Every year, thousands of infants and new born babies’ lives are taken away; both from them and their parents. Imagine the pain a family encounters after carrying a child for nine months and once the water breaks, being informed that there is a congenital defect with the new born child. The term alone would horrify a mother without being aware of the definition or even cause of the problem the child has encountered. A congenital defect is a birth defect that can be defined as problems that occur while a fetus is developing in the womb. Congenital defects can affect the way the body looks or functions and range from mild to severe. Some defects such as cleft lip or palate can be easily and safely treated, however, defects such as Down syndrome, heart or brain defects, and things along those lines may need life-long treatment to manage. The most severe congenital defects prove fatal and lead to infant death. In 2005, 5,571 infants died as a result of congenital defects. Birth defects are generally grouped into one of three major categories, structural or metabolic, congenital infections, or “other.” Being that this is such a broad break down of categories, it is made evident that not only is it unclear whether a child is born with an abnormality until various tests are done to come to the conclusion that there may be something wrong with a child. Structural or metabolic abnormalities include heart defects and neural defects where some part of the body...

...Case Study 16: Preventing Neural Tube Defects in Chile Abstract Neural tube defects (NTDs) are the second most common congenital malformation to congenital heart disease and affected 400 babies in Chile annually before a fortification legislation was passed to use fortified flour with folic acid. This fortification reduced spina bifida by 51% and anencephaly by 46% (Levine, 2007). Team One will share answers to questions about this study and research of the problem. The globally astute nurse can provide education and become an advocate to continue to reduce these congenital birth defects through improving the health of women and children and thus all humanity. Case Study Sixteen: Preventing Neural Tube Defects in Chile Despite efforts to reduce neural tube defects, more than 300,000 children are born with neural tube defects annually (CDC, 2012). In Chile, fortification with folate reduced birth defects. Public and private partnerships are necessary for the success of ventures to improve healthcare. Fortification with folate in the diet can be replicated, but must be attune to cultural diet and nutrition habits. Global education is a critical link to success in combating disease and especially with neural tube defects. Once leaders are aware and efforts can focus on problems for education, intervention and evaluation, global health can be improved and the sustainability of our people and planet can continue.

...Seckel syndrome is a rare type of dwarfism that is caused by a congenital defect. Seckel syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and has been linked to genetic mutations on chromosomes 3, 18, and 14. How often Seckel syndrome occurs is not exactly known, but more than 100 cases have been reported in the medical literature. Many children diagnosed with Seckel syndrome are born to parents who are consanguineous, or closely related. This often causes prominent physical malformations, including a very short stature and a bird-like appearance. Serious mental retardation and blood disorders are also present in the majority of Seckel syndrome patients. Helmut Paul George Seckel was a prominent German physician who immigrated to the United States during World War II. In 1960, Seckel was the first physician to describe this disorder. It is also sometimes referred to as microcephalic primordial dwarfism, bird-headed dwarfism, and Virchow-Seckel dwarfism. A variant to this type of dwarfism is also known as Harper's syndrome, which was named after Dr. Rita G. Harper. Seckel syndrome is very rare, and only a handful of infants are diagnosed with it. It is believed to be a genetic disorder. Individuals born with this disorder typically have mutated chromosomes.These mutations can cause several physical mutations. An infant with Seckel syndrome will usually be born with a very low birth weight, due to improper growth prior to birth. Most of these infants will usually only...

It is a life long struggle when someone suffers from Spinal Bifida. Spinal Bifida effects cognition, adaption along with behavior. The characteristics that affect the brain also include neurological dysfunction on multiple organ systems. Spinal Bifida still does not receive the acclaim in should for the effects that it has on social , development and behavioral abnormalities that it causes one. In the public school system it is often view as an orthopedic impairment rather then a developmental issue, even though most people with Spinal Bifida have congenital malformations of the brain. Theses malformations effect speech , reading and comprehension along with some information not being able to be retained. This article also speaks about the environment and dietary effects that cause spinal Bifida to ocure across the span of different countries and ethnic backgrounds. This article helps to give insight to the risk factors that can causes this neurological abnormality. In this article light is shed on how spinal Bifida can effect a family and the development of a child with Spinal Bifida. Since spinal Bifida effects the mental and developmental parts of the brain , the way a family adapts to the disruptive quality of this disorder can greatly effect a child’s behavioral development.

...Polydactyly, sometimes referred to as a congenital anomaly is a conditions where someone has more than five fingers or toes on each hand or foot. The disease is present at birth, and the digits can usually be removed soon after. Polydactyly affects about one in every seven-hundred babies, and surgery to remove them is fairly simple. They can vary in severity and can range from small skin tags to fully formed extra fingers. Polydactyly is the addition of another finger or toe, however it is very closely related and sometimes confused with Syndactyly. Syndactyly is where some or all of the fingers or toes are united, this occurs naturally for some web-footed animals but in humans, it is a malformation of the body. Symptoms of Polydactyly are...

...Albinism Albinism is a congenital disorder where there is a complete or partial absence of pigment in the skin, hair, and eyes because of the absence or defect in the enzyme that produces melanin. Melanin is responsible for pigment in plants, animals, and protists. Albinism in man has been described by many Greek and Roman writers, and the first accurate scientific paper about it was written in 1908 by Sir Archibald Garrod. Most people only think of humans in the case of albinism, but in reality, it affects humans as well as plants and animals. In plants, Albinism is the total or partial absence of chlorophyll. Because there is an inadequate amount of chlorophyll, photosynthesis is impaired. As a result, plants with albinism usually die at a young age. According to scientific authors Maya Kumari, Heather J. Clarke, Ian Small, and Kadambot H. M. Siddique, some environmental conditions like temperature, light, media composition, and culture conditions can play a role in determining the frequency of albino plant formation. Although environmental factors can sometimes play a role, genetic factors are the main determinants. Genetic studies in different crops show that it is a recessive trait governed by many loci. Because nuclear as well as chloroplast genomes affect albinism, incompatibilities between them is a likely cause of pigment defects in hybrid progenies (Kumari). In angiosperms large amounts of these incompatibilities are found. Unfortunately, there is no solution...

...Community Based Rehabilitation for PWDs Introduction: Definition and meaning of concepts Community-based rehabilitation (CBR) focuses on enhancing the quality of life for people with disabilities and their families, meeting basic needs and ensuring inclusion and participation. CBR was initiated in the mid-1980s but has evolved to become a multi-sectoral strategy that empowers persons with disabilities to access and benefit from education, employment/vocational, health and other social services. CBR is implemented through the combined efforts of people with disabilities, their families, relevant government and non-government organizations and communities. CBR is "a strategy within community development for the rehabilitation, equalization of opportunities and social integration of all people with disabilities” (provided by United Nations) "CBR is a strategy for enhancing the quality of life of disabled people by improving service delivery, by providing more equitable opportunities and by promoting and protecting their human rights" (Einar Helander; Internationally Recognized Expert on CBR) Goals/objectives of CBR The goals of CBR are to ensure the benefits of the Convention on Rights of Persons with Disabilities reach the majority by: ✓ Supporting people with disabilities to maximize their physical and mental abilities, to access regular services and opportunities, and to become active contributors to the community and society at large; ✓ Activating communities...
