2. Genetic-molecular characterization in the diagnosis of primary immunodeficiencies
Abstract Objectives: To rescue medical genetics concepts that are necessary to understand the advances in the genetic-molecular characterization of primary immunodeficiencies, to help in the understanding and adequate interpretation of their results. Source of data: Non-systematic literature review, searching for articles since 2000 on PubMed using the ter

3. Competency Profile in Genetics for Physicians in Brazil: A Proposal of the Brazilian Society of Medical Genetics and Genomics
RESUMO Educação em genética é fundamental para o entendimento dos aspectos biológicos do binômio saúde-doença. Além disso, com a mudança do perfil epidemiológico, as doenças com determinantes genéticos tornaram-se mais relevantes como problema de saúde pública. Assim, manejar estas doenças, tanto em pacientes como em suas famílias, de forma

4. Albinism: epidemiology, genetics, cutaneous characterization, psychosocial factors
Abstract Oculocutaneous albinism is an autosomal recessive disease caused by the complete absence or decrease of melanin biosynthesis in melanocytes. Due to the reduction or absence of melanin, albinos are highly susceptible to the harmful effects of ultraviolet radiation and are at increased risk of actinic damage and skin cancer. In Brazil, as in other par

6. Mucopolysaccharidosis: Caregiver Quality of Life
Abstract The mucopolysaccharidoses (MPSs) are a group of rare genetic diseases caused by a deficiency of specific enzymes involved in catabolism of glycosaminoglycans, which causes multisystem abnormalities. Quality of life (QoL) is directly associated with physical, mental, and psychological well-being and with social relationships, including family and fri

7. Information and Diagnosis Networks – tools to improve diagnosis and treatment for patients with rare genetic diseases
Abstract Brazil is a country of continental dimensions and most genetic services are concentrated in the Southeast and South, including the Medical Genetics Service of the Hospital de Clínicas de Porto Alegre (MGS/HCPA). As many areas on the country do not have adequate medical genetics support, networks were designed to extend the service of the MGS/HCPA r

8. Clinical research challenges in rare genetic diseases in Brazil
Abstract Rare diseases are defined as conditions with a prevalence of no more than 6.5 per 10,000 people. Although each rare disease individually affects a small number of people, collectively, the 6,000 to 8,000 rare conditions (80% of them with genetic cause) affect around 8% of the world’s population. Research about the natural history and underlying pa

10. Combined pituitary hormone deficiency caused by PROP1 mutations: update 20 years post-discovery
ABSTRACT The first description of patients with combined pituitary hormone deficiencies (CPHD) caused by PROP1 mutations was made 20 years ago. Here we updated the clinical and genetic characteristics of patients with PROP1 mutations and summarized the phenotypes of 14 patients with 7 different pathogenic PROP1 mutations followed at the Hospital das Clínica

12. Population medical genetics: translating science to the community
Abstract Rare genetic disorders are currently in the spotlight due to the elevated number of different conditions and significant total number of affected patients. The study of these disorders is extremely helpful for the elucidation of physiological processes related with complex disorders. Isolated populations are instrumental for the study of genetic dis
