The Genome Revisited | |||
The field of Medical Genetics has been growing by leaps and bounds. We have come a really long way since the initial description of heritable traits by Gregor Mendel in the 1860s. The elucidation of the human genome sequence, which would have seemed like science fiction until even half a century back Dr. Prajnya Ranganath |

Megaconial Muscular Dystrophy with a Novel Mutation in the CHKB Gene | ||||||
Congenital muscular dystrophy is a genetically heterogenous disorder. We report two sisters with
megaconial myopathy who presented with developmental delay, congenital muscular dystrophy
and acanthosis with ichthyosis. About 36 cases
have been described in world literature. Ours is
the first case report from India. Whole exome sequencing identified a novel homozygous nonsense
mutation in the CHKB gene Dr Seema Thakur |

Fatty Acid Hydroxylase- Associated Neurodegeneration - A Rare Case of Neurodegeneration with Brain Iron Accumulation (NBIA) | ||||||
Fatty acid hydroxylase associated neurodegeneration is a rare disorder which belongs to the group
of disorders of neurodegeneration with brain iron
accumulation (NBIA). We present a case of a
9-year-old girl who presented with gradually progressive stiffness of limbs with speech delay and
neuroimaging findings of T2 hypointensities in the
globus pallidus and substantia nigra suggestive of
brain iron accumulation.

Genetics of Parkinson Disease | ||||||
Parkinson disease is a common neurodegenerative
disorder, characterized by bradykinesia, tremor,
rigidity and difficulty in initiating movement. It is
caused due to loss of dopaminergic neurons in the
substantia nigra in the midbrain. Sporadic forms
account for 90% of cases and manifest by 60 years
of age. Both environmental and genetic factors
have been implicated in sporadic forms. Various
genes with autosomal dominant, recessive and X
linked inheritance have been identified for monogenic forms of Parkinsonism.

Whole Genome Sequencing: The Way Forward for Molecular Cytogenetics | ||||||
Prenatally detected de novo balanced chromosomal rearrangements have been reported to be
associated with a 6-9% risk of adverse outcome,
but the postnatal long-term morbidity in these antenatally detected cases has not been adequately
studied. Dr Prajnya Ranganath |
