DWI-FLAIR Mismatch on MRI for Unclear-Onset Strokes

Diffusion-Weighted Image (DWI) and Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery Image (FLAIR) Mismatch on MRI can be used as a surrogate for the time of stroke onset for unclear-onset strokes or "wake up" (nocturnal) strokes.

Cystinuria VS Cystinosis - know the difference!

 Hi!

Cystinuria is an AR disorder that is characterized by defective absorption of cysteine and other di-basic amino acids from PCT and intestinal lumen.

Cystinosis, on the other hand, is a lysosomal storage disease characterized by accumulation of amino acid cystine.

Note :

Cysteine + Cysteine = Cystine.

Fact :

Cystinosis is one of the most common cause of Fanconi's syndrome in pediatric age group.

Genomic imprinting and Trinucleotide repeat -EXTRA EDGE

Hello Awesomites! 

1.Genomic imprinting IOC = methylation specific MLPA 

2.Trinucleotide repeat disorder = IOC is Trinucleotide primed PCR 

3.Fragile X Syndrome is XLR (mendelian inheritance) but once inherited during gametogenesis what happens is non - mendelian inheritance.

Confusing but thats the beauty. 

Can you tell me about Huntington disease what does mendelian and non mendelian inheritance mean? 

4.Angelman  that undergo whatever you learn (like maternal deletion and unipaternal disomy) involve chromosome 15 but gene is UBE3 ubiquitin protein. 

And praderwilli whatever you learn happens at chromosome 15 but gene is Sn RPN (small nuclear ribonucleoprotein polypeptide N)

 Hope it broadens your horizon.
