Indications for genetic testing:

1. Confirmation of clinical diagnosis
2. Carrier testing of at-risk female relatives
3. Prenatal diagnosis for known familial mutation
4. Genetic counseling

Cornelia de Lange syndrome (CdLS) is characterized by distinctive facial features, growth retardation, developmental delay, hirsutism, and limb abnormalities. Craniofacial features include synophrys, arched eyebrows, long eyelashes, small upturned nose and thin downturned lips, small widely spaced teeth, and microcephaly.

Additional findings may include cardiac defects, gastrointestinal dysfunction, hearing loss, myopia, seizures, cleft palate, and cryptorchidism or hypoplastic genitalia.

The prevalence of disorder is estimated at 1:50,000 for the classic form of CdLS. CdLS can be inherited in an autosomal dominant or X-linked manner.

Indications for genetic testing:

  1. Suspected infertility in women who had already undergone basic clinical analysis and karyotype analysis
  2. Primary ovarian dysfunction or recurrent fetal loss
  3. Testing of infertile couples who will be undergoing treatment with assisted reproductive technology (ART), especially a genetic anomaly is found in either one component of the couple
  4. Evaluation of the risk of disease to be transmitted to the child to be born through ART

Female factors account for at least 35% of all infertility cases and comprise a wide range of causes affecting ovarian development, maturation of oocytes, and fertilization competence as well as the potential of a fertilized egg for preimplantation development, implantation, and fetal growth.

Other factors influencing female infertility include diseases such as polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) and endometriosis, and the cumulative effects of environmental factors and lifestyle. PCOS, the most common cause of infertility is a complex, hormonal and metabolic disorder affecting 5–20% of women of reproductive age. The disease is characterised by hyperandrogenism, ovulatory dysfunction, polycystic ovarian morphology and gonadotropic abnormalities. Endometriosis affects 7–10% of women and is associated with infertility.

Genetic abnormalities leading to infertility in females encompass large chromosome abnormalities, submicroscopic chromosome deletion and duplications, and DNA sequence variations in the genes involved in oogenesis, maintenance of ovarian reserve, hormonal signaling, and anatomical and functional development of female reproductive organs. Genetic abnormalities are implicated in about 10% of female infertility cases.

Indications for genetic testing:

  1. Clinical episode of malignant hyperthermia (MH)
  2. Positive caffeine/halothane contracture test
  3. Relative with a positive contracture test or a known MH-causing variant
  4. Unexplained death with signs of MH during or immediately after anesthesia
  5. Exercise-related rhabdomyolysis and/or heat stroke

Malignant hyperthermia is an inherited pharmacogenetic disorder of calcium regulation resulting in uncontrolled skeletal muscle hypermetabolism.

Manifestations of MH are triggered by certain volatile anesthetics (i.e. halothane, isoflurane, sevoflurane, desflurane, enflurane), either alone or in conjunction with succinylcholine, a depolarizing muscle relaxant. The triggering substances initiate uncontrolled release of calcium from the sarcoplasmic reticulum and may promote entry of extracellular calcium into the myoplasm, causing contracture of skeletal muscles, glycogenolysis, and increased cellular metabolism, resulting in production of heat and excess lactate.

MH clinical manifestations are hyperthermia, hypercapnia, tachycardia, acidosis, muscle rigidity, compartment syndrome, rhabdomyolysis with subsequent increase in serum creatine kinase concentration, hyperkalemia with a risk for cardiac arrhythmia or even cardiac arrest, and myoglobinuria with a risk for renal failure.

In nearly all cases, the first manifestations of MH occur in the operating room, MH may also occur in the early postoperative period. Recent studies show that some individuals with MH will also develop the disorder with exercise and/or on exposure to hot environments. Without prompt treatment with dantrolene sodium, mortality is extremely high.

MH is an autosomal dominant disorder.
