Alzheimer Disease

Alzheimer's disease is a neurodegenerative disorder. The genetic transmission can be both autosomal dominant for early-onset familial cases and multifactorial involving genetic and environmental factors for late-onset cases.

Predisposition: High
Explanation of predisposition: We predict genetic risk by analyzing specific genetic variants within key genes associated with a condition. For each variant, we assess its impact on biological pathways that are known to influence the disease. The prediction takes into account both the clinical significance of each variant and the confidence in the prediction, which is determined by the quality and strength of the supporting scientific data and research.

Nervous System Diseases

Central nervous system (CNS) diseases encompass a wide range of conditions that affect the brain and spinal cord. The type of genetic transmission for CNS diseases can vary widely depending on the specific condition in question. Some CNS diseases are inherited in a Mendelian manner, which includes: 1. **Autosomal Dominant**: Conditions where a single copy of the mutated gene inherited from one parent can cause the disease (e.g., Huntington's disease). 2. **Autosomal Recessive**: Conditions that require two copies of the mutated gene, one from each parent (e.g., Friedreich's ataxia). 3. **X-Linked**: Conditions associated with mutations on the X chromosome (e.g., Fragile X syndrome). Other CNS diseases may have more complex inheritance patterns, including multifactorial inheritance involving multiple genes and environmental factors (e.g., multiple sclerosis). Some may also involve mitochondrial inheritance (e.g., mitochondrial encephalomyopathy).

Cranial Nerve Diseases

Cranial nerve diseases encompass a variety of conditions that affect the cranial nerves. The type of genetic transmission can vary depending on the specific cranial nerve disease in question. Some cranial nerve diseases may have a genetic component that is inherited in an autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked manner, while others may not be inherited and could result from acquired factors such as infections, trauma, or tumors. Specific examples of inherited cranial nerve disorders include Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease (autosomal dominant or recessive) and certain mitochondrial disorders affecting cranial nerves.

Predisposition: Medium
Explanation of predisposition: We predict genetic risk by analyzing specific genetic variants within key genes associated with a condition. For each variant, we assess its impact on biological pathways that are known to influence the disease. The prediction takes into account both the clinical significance of each variant and the confidence in the prediction, which is determined by the quality and strength of the supporting scientific data and research.
Associated Genes
Gene Mutation Type Allele Confidence
GRM6 Duplication A/A Medium
PUM3 Frameshift A/G Medium
LRPPRC Inversion C/G Medium
MROH2B Substitution C/C High
ANK2 Deletion C/T Medium
Population Frequency By Gene

Population frequency indicates how common a specific genetic variant is within a group of people, expressed as a percentage. For example, if a gene variant has a frequency of 20%, it means about 20 out of 100 individuals carry that variant. This information helps researchers understand the potential impact of genetic variants on health and traits within different populations.

Gene Frequency
GRM6 20%
PUM3 1%
LRPPRC 21%
MROH2B 21%
ANK2 11%
Associated Pathways

A pathway refers to a series of biochemical reactions and interactions that occur within cells, allowing for communication between genes, proteins, and metabolites. These pathways are crucial for various physiological functions, including neurotransmission, hormone signaling, and metabolic processes, and can influence behaviors and health outcomes when disrupted by genetic mutations.

Possible Comobordities

Comorbidities are additional health conditions that often occur alongside a primary condition. For example, someone with ADHD may also have other related issues, such as anxiety or learning difficulties. These conditions are linked because they may share similar causes, such as genetics or brain chemistry, making it more likely for a person to experience both at the same time.

Spinal Cord Ischemia

Spinal cord disorders can vary widely, and their type and genetic transmission depend on the specific disorder. 1. **Types:** - **Traumatic:** Injuries due to accidents, falls, or violence. - **Infectious:** Conditions caused by infections, e.g., myelitis. - **Degenerative:** Diseases like amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) or spinal stenosis. - **Congenital:** Disorders present at birth, such as spina bifida. - **Neoplastic:** Tumors affecting the spinal cord. - **Autoimmune:** Conditions like multiple sclerosis (MS). 2. **Type of Genetic Transmission:** - For *familial amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (fALS)*: Typically autosomal dominant, but can also be autosomal recessive or X-linked. - For *hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP)*: Can be autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, or X-linked. - For *Friedreich's ataxia*: Autosomal recessive. - For some forms of *spina bifida*: Multifactorial inheritance, often involving both genetic and environmental factors. It’s important to specify the particular spinal cord disorder for more precise information on genetic transmission.
