Congenital disorder

Case Study: Congenital Visual Agnosia and Prosopagnosia in a Child In this paper I will be doing a literature review and evaluating the case study of a particular younger patient with Congenital Visual Agnosia and Prosopagnosia. Visual agnosia is the impairment of the recognition of different object stimuli, which cannot be explained by other sensory losses (Ariel, & Sadeh, 1996). There is said to be two different classifications or types of diagnosed visual agnosia, associate and appreciative agnosia

Cardiofaciocutaneous syndrome is a very rare and serious genetic disorder that generally affects the heart, facial features, and skin of an individual. It is caused by a desultory gene mutation, which takes place in one of four genes. Those genes are known as BRAF, MEK1, MEK2, and KRAS. From research, it is also suspected there is a possibility that other genes are associated with the rare condition. This disorder holds multiple alternative names, a long history, obvious symptoms, extensive amounts

Congenital Heart Disease the Psychological Outcome Most chronic health conditions have at least some psychological effect on a person, and sometimes it can psychologically affect their loved ones around them also. This is true with congenital heart disease. Congenital heart disease is a number of different defects of the heart that are present at birth and is one of the most common types of birth defects. With the advancement of medical technology and cardiac surgical techniques children with congenital

Congenital is where the child gets cerebral palsy during the pregnancy or during birth. Acquired is when the child gets it after they have been born. (causes and risk factor for cerebral palsy, 2017) There are several situations that can cause congenital cerebral palsy. Some of them include premature birth, the mother doing drugs during pregnancy or the mother can get an infection

Overview Noonan syndrome is a disorder caused by a genetic mutation that causes various parts of the patient’s body to develop abnormally. The condition occurs when a parent passes on an affected gene to their child that produces constantly active proteins, leading to a disruption in the process of normal cell division and growth. Science currently knows of eight genes in which a mutation can cause the disorder. In some cases, there is no family history and the mutation is spontaneous. Symptoms

Epilepsy is a common chronic neurological disorder characterized by recurrent unprovoked seizures . (1) The word epilepsy conjures up something rather frightening and undesirable in most people's mind, especially if unconsciousness, violent movement and impaired communication are involved . (2) Epilepsy is the word used to describe a tendency to episodes , in which a variety of clinical phenomena may occur , caused by abnormal electrical discharge in the brain, between which the patient

When parents know the fetus is “special”, they may be chosen to terminate the pregnancy. Thus, in general prenatal screening helps to detect congenital disabilities but is also thought to be the 'remedy' selective abortion (Seller, 1976). One of the benefits of prenatal screening is to enable early detection of the developmental defect embryology. This embryology developmental defect may be due

Mutations in MSX1 gene cause a verity of diseases. Mutations hit different sites on msx1 that resulted in different phenotypes. It has been identified some mutations’ locations such as in frame mutations, including 18 missense mutations and truncating mutations, including 5 nonsense mutations, 5 indel mutations, 1 splice variant, 1 nonstop variant, and 1 entire gene deletion. Farther, some of these mutations disturb the homeodomain and some don’t but located in N terminus protein. The indel mutations
