A Million Dollar Question
US $ 375,000 per year, US $ 365,000 per year, US $ 200,000 per year- these are costs of medicines per year per patient for some genetic diseases. And these treatments need to be continued lifelong. Many of us cannot even imagine these costs. It is like a mirage -the treatment is available but out of reach of many. Till date most treatments were affordable at least for rich patients, but these newer costly therapies seem to be beyond the

Compound heterozygosity for p.F508del mutation and deletion of exons 4-11 in CFTR in an infant with cystic fibrosis-Limitations of ARMS-PCR and Sanger sequencing
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a life threatening genetic condition caused due to mutations in the CFTR gene. This is an autosomal recessive condition and usually parents are carriers of a heterozygous mutation in the CFTR gene. We describe an infant diagnosed with the severe phenotype of CF and detected to be homozygous for p.F508del by ARMSPCR. However, parental studies confirmed carrier

Distal Arthrogryposis
Congenital multiple joint contractures involving two or more body areas are collectively termed as arthrogryposis. Based on the extent of joint involvement (proximal and/or distal joints), neurological involvement, and involvement of other parts of the body/other organs the etiology and prognosis of arthrogryposis differs.[1] Various etiologies of arthrogryposis include single gene mutations

Congenital malformations/ birth defects can be sub-classified as major or minor anomalies.

Non-invasive prenatal testing for low risk women and more . . .
Though non-invasive prenatal testing using massively parallel sequencing of cell free fetal DNA has been in use in clinical practice since 2011, most of the study cohort and the subsequent data relates to high risk pregnancies. The high accuracy of these techniques for aneuploidy detection has been already proved in these cases. A study by Bianchi et al in a large cohort of women with uncomplicated singleton pregnancies has finally
