Weitere Förderer des Forums Content Partner des Forums Biowissenschaften Chemie Jackson Laboratory Researchers find genetic link to cerebral hemorrhage and porencephaly Researchers at The Jackson Laboratory have discovered a genetic link to porencephaly, a rare but devastating neurological condition. Their research, published in the May 19 issue of the journal Science, may have significant implications for preventing the disease in humans. Usually exhibited in infants shortly after birth, symptoms of porencephaly include mental retardation, cerebral palsy or epilepsy. The brains of porencephaly patients show degenerative cavities and lesions. Researchers have suspected that the damage is the consequence of fetal trauma and/or genes affecting blood clotting that predispose to hemorrhage. An international team discovered a genetic defect that weakens blood vessels in the brain, making an infant much more vulnerable to hemorrhaging. The team was led by Dr. Douglas Gould a postdoctoral fellow at The Jackson Laboratory and Jackson Laboratory Staff Scientist and Howard Hughes Medical Institute Investigator Dr. Simon W.M. John. The researchers identified a mouse model of porencephaly. They found that the mice had a mutation in a collagen gene, COL4A1, which controls production of a basement membrane protein. As the name suggests, basement membranes provide foundations for a variety of tissues, including forming a strong sheath around blood vessels. The scientists concluded that the mutant collagen protein cannot be secreted into the basement membrane of the blood vessels causing them to be weakened. Instead, mutant collagen proteins accumulate within the cells lining the blood vessels possibly damaging them. The combination of cells with accumulated mutant protein and the weak basement membrane around blood vessels predisposes to hemorrhage.

Abstract: Porencephaly may result from either a developmental anomaly or an antepartum intraparenchymal insult.Pre- and postnatal ultrasonography can demonstrate characteristic images of porencephaly. There is minimal literature on diagnosis and outcome of antenatally diagnosed porencephaly. There are two types of porencephaly: type I is generally due to an antepartum intraparenchymal hemorrhage. Type II lesions are usually developmental anomalies. Prognosis generally depends on the extent of the lesion. Subscribe to RSS feed utrdc-pt02 Release 4.0

In the study, researchers will measure a series of potential risk factors for stroke that include autoimmune, inflammatory, and genetic clotting factor abnormalities. By identifying the factors that contribute to childhood stroke, porencephaly, and cerebral palsy, researchers hope this study will lay the groundwork for future research projects that will explore potential treatments.

Web Hosting by Netfirms Free Domain Names by Netfirms *~Porencephaly~* Directory: Cephalic Disorders Home Anecephaly Cebocephaly ... Research PORENCEPHALY is an extremely rare disorder of the central nervous system involving a cyst or cavity in a cerebral hemisphere. The cysts or cavities are usually the remnants of destructive lesions, but are sometimes the result of abnormal development. The disorder can occur before or after birth. Porencephaly most likely has a number of different, often unknown causes, including absence of brain development and destruction of brain tissue. The presence of porencephalic cysts can sometimes be detected by transillumination of the skull in infancy. The diagnosis may be confirmed by CT, MRI, or ultrasonography. More severely affected infants show symptoms of the disorder shortly after birth, and the diagnosis is usually made before age 1. Signs may include delayed growth and development, spastic paresis (slight or incomplete paralysis), hypotonia (decreased muscle tone), seizures (often infantile spasms), and macrocephaly or microcephaly. Individuals with porencephaly may have poor or absent speech development, epilepsy, hydrocephalus, spastic contractures (shrinkage or shortening of muscles), and mental retardation. Treatment may include physical therapy, medication for seizure disorders, and a shunt for hydrocephalus. The prognosis for individuals with porencephaly varies according to the location and extent of the lesion. Some patients with this disorder may develop only minor neurological problems and have normal intelligence, while others may be severely disabled. Others may die before the second decade of life.

A Pilot Study of Abnormal Acquired and Genetic Coagulation Factors in Children with Porencephaly and Stroke The National Institutes of Health, the Kennedy Krieger Institute at John Hopkins University and the Childrens Memorial Hospital in Chicago are working together to explore the causes of unexplained childhood stroke, porencephaly and cerebral palsy. Porencephaly is defined as a cystic cavity (fluid-filled) within the brain and the exact prevalence of porencephaly is not known. The cause of porencephaly is due to either a developmental problem or a stroke that occurs before birth. Stroke can be defined as an acute neurological problem lasting greater than 24 hours and due to a blockage or rupture of a blood vessel in the brain. The incidence of stroke in children has been reported as high as 3 per 100,000 people but this is probably underestimated. Pediatric stroke occurs more frequently in children less than 2 years of age, and the cause is frequently undetermined. Childhood strokes can seriously affect motor and intellectual development, and lead to the development of spastic cerebral palsy. Additionally, about 20% of children with cerebral palsy have brain-imaging abnormalities suggestive of childhood stroke or porencephaly. While there are many well-defined risk factors for strokes in adults, very little is known about strokes in children. Many causes have been suspected and there is mounting evidence that genetic clotting factors may be responsible for a portion of childhood strokes. Early diagnosis of the risk factors for stroke in children may lead to a better diagnosis of related genetic disorders within that child's family. This would lead to better counseling and possible prevention of strokes and cerebral palsy.

The head may be enlarged at birth or become abnormally large in the early years. A rare variation on this condition, unilateral megalencephaly (also called hemimegalencephaly), involves enlargement of half of the brain. This results in a large, often asymmetrical head. Causes Megalencephaly may be caused by a disturbance in the process that controls the way nerve cells divide to form new cells (called nerve cell proliferation). Males are more likely to be afflicted than females.
