AbstractTuberous sclerosis complex (TSC) is an autosomal dominant disease associated with tumors and malformed tissues in the brain and other vital organs. We report a novel de novo frameshift variant of the TSC1 gene (c.434dup;p. Ser146Valfs*8) in a child with TSC who initially presented with a sacral teratoma. This previously unreported association between TSC and teratoma has broad implications for the pathophysiology of embryonic tumors and mechanisms underlying cellular differentiation.

Pre-capillary pulmonary hypertension can be heritable in the context of pulmonary arterial hypertension (an autosomal dominant disease mainly due to mutations in BMPR2), and pulmonary veno-occlusive disease or pulmonary capillary haemangiomatosis (an autosomal recessive disease due to biallelic mutations in the EIF2AK4 gene). Genetic counselling can be implemented in referral centres for pulmonary hypertension as outlined in this chapter.

Brugada syndrome is an inherited autosomal dominant disease that cause sudden death, which related with mutation of SCN5A gene, ? subunit of sodium channel. The risk Brugada syndrome in male is 8 times more than females. The average age is 40 years old, which can happen between age 1 to 77 years old. The Incidence is 5 to 66 per 10.000 people. The golden diagnostic tools is ECG, an abnormality QRS-T found in lead V1-V3. I report a case of Brugada syndrome with neither sign nor symptoms. The disease coincidental in routine medical examination.

Rare Autosomal Dominant Disease

Epidermolytic ichthyosis is a rare autosomal dominant disease that manifests at birth with fragile blisters and erosions that evolve into hyperkeratotic lesions associated or not with erythroderma. When the disease is associated with a mutation in cytokeratin 1, it may be related to hyperkeratosis of palms and soles, but this is not usually found when cytokeratin 10 is mutated. The disease can present in a mosaic form, due to post zygotic mutation of the gene involved, constituting an individual formed by two populations of genetically distinct cells - one carrier of the mutation and the other without it. We report a case of mosaic epidermolytic ichthyosis diagnosed in a female patient.

Dominant Disease

Hailey-Hailey disease (HHD), or familial benign chronic pemphigus, is a rare inherited acantholytic dermatosis. It is an autosomal dominant disease affecting the intertriginous areas. HHD has been characterized by flaccid blisters, erosions, and macerations that are limited to flexural (friction-prone) areas. The painful blisters and erosions significantly decrease patients’ quality of life. There are multiple types of therapy related to this disorder. Many of the studies have suggested benefits from steroid therapy in addition to oral antibiotics.

Osler Weber Rendu Syndrome (OWRS), or Hereditary Hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT) is an autosomal dominant disease presents with epistaxis, telangiactesia and multiorgan vascular dysplasia. Recurrent epistaxis is common in these patients and various local forms of therapy is tried to treat the condition, but there is lack of definitive and effective treatment. We present a patient of HHT with severe recurrent epistaxis successfully treated with thalidomide.Asian Journal of Medical Sciences Vol.7(4) 2016 107-109

Abnormal Pigmentation

Neurofibromatosis 1 (NF1), also called von Recklinghausen’s disease, is an autosomal dominant disease characterized by multiple non-cancerous tumors of nerves and skin, and areas of abnormal pigmentation. Vasculopathy and spontaneous hemothorax are rare complications, but potentially lethal, which necessitates quick and decisive intervention to save the life of the patient. Here, we present a case of spontaneous massive haemothorax leading to hemorrhagic shock in a 66-year-old woman with neurofibromatosis type-1. She was investigated and managed successfully.
