Classic

Vascular

Kyphoscoliosis

A

Classic –> 1+2, COL5A1/2

4 –> COL3A1

6 –> Lysyl hydroxylase

23
Q

Difference between Niemann Pick type A and B and Niemann Pick type C?

A

C = NPC1 –> cholesterol transport

A + B –> sphingomyelinase deficiency.

24
Q

LXA4?

A

lipoxin A4 –> inhibits neutrophil recruitment and suppresses inflammation

25

Marfan

Duchenne

Osteogenesis imperfecta

Pompe

Tay Sachs

Hunters and Hurlers

A

Fibrillen 1

Dystrophen

Collagen

Acid Maltase

Hexosaminadase A

stuff degrading glycosaminoglycans

26
Q

What is Cachexia and what is it related to?

A

state of weight loss and anorexia

TNF –> regulates energy balance by promoting lipid and protein mobilization and by suppressing appetite.

27
Q

What are the 5 things that cause increased vascular permeability?

A

histamine, serotonin

C3A and C5A (by releasing stuff from mast cells)

Leuktroienes (C,D,E)

28

Autosomal recessive

29
Q

What are the three possible things that signal for macrophages to eat them?

A

thrombospondin, C1Q, phosphatidylserine.

30
Q

Why do we not use Coumadin right away for someone that is prothrombotic?

A

it inactivates C and S first, leaving someone being prothrombotic –> Coumadin induced skin necrosis –> massive thrombosis with necrosis and gangrene of limbs

31
Q

What is the theory behind cleft lip? what are these called?

A

early amnion disruption –> streeter bands

32
Q

CTL mediated apoptosis?

A

CTLs secrete perforin, and this releases serine proteases called granzymes

33
Q

What’s the difference between venous and arterial thrombus CLINICALLY for someone with an extremity clot.

A

Venous –> swollen or painful and warm

Arterial –> CYANOTIC, NO PERIPHERAL PULSE. COLD

34
Q

what disease process can present with cyclops, midline defects, two vessel umbilical cord, intestines outside of the body?

A

Trisomy 13 (patau)

35
Q

When do we do a thrombin time?

A

when you’re worried about fibrinogen

36
Q

What is the outcome for most Turner syndrome babies?

A

1/4 miscarry in the first 2 months of pregnancy

37
Q

Explain Female Pseudohermpahroditism? HOW?

what can they present with too?

A

female who looks like a “fake male” –> because her body made too much adrenal androgens in the womb –> CONGENITAL ADRENAL HYPERPLASIA

salt wasting due to the congenital adrenal hyperplasia

38
Q

What do we care about for primary hypercoaguable disorders?

what don’t we look at?

A

Protein C, S, antithrombin

short PT and PTT means nothing

39
Q

What’s to know about longevity and trisomy 18 and 13?

A

both usually die within a few weeks and months

18 dies around 18 months

40
Q

A

hydrostatic pressure only

42

CAD

white
