The exact underlying cause of Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is unknown, but several risk factors have been associated with the development of MCC. Having one or more risk factors does not mean that a person will develop MCC; most individuals with risk factors will not develop MCC. Risk ... | GARD | Merkel cell carcinoma |
Is Merkel cell carcinoma inherited ? | Is Merkel cell carcinoma inherited? To our knowledge, there currently is no evidence that Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is inherited. While DNA changes (mutations) found in the cells of MCC tumors can lead to MCC, these types of mutations are not inherited from a person's parents. They are referred to as somatic mutation... | GARD | Merkel cell carcinoma |
What is (are) Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C ? | Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy type 2C (LGMD2C) is a condition that affects the muscles and is caused by mutations in the gamma-sarcoglycan gene. This condition belongs to a group of muscle disorders called limb-girdle muscular dystrophies, which are characterized by progressive loss of muscle bulk and symmetrical weak... | GARD | Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C |
What are the symptoms of Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C ? | What are the signs and symptoms of Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C? The Human Phenotype Ontology provides the following list of signs and symptoms for Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C. If the information is available, the table below includes how often the symptom is seen in people with this condition. Y... | GARD | Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C |
What are the treatments for Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C ? | What treatment is available for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy? There is no specific treatment for limb-girdle muscular dystrophy. Management of the condition is based on the person's symptoms and subtype (if known). The GeneReview article on limb-girdle muscular dystrophy lists the following approach for medical manag... | GARD | Limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, type 2C |
What is (are) Non 24 hour sleep wake disorder ? | Non 24 hour sleep wake disorder refers to a steady pattern of one- to two-hour delays in sleep onset and wake times in people with normal living conditions. This occurs because the period of the person's sleep-wake cycle is longer than 24 hours. The condition most commonly affects people who are blind, due to an impair... | GARD | Non 24 hour sleep wake disorder |

What is (are) Erythromelalgia ? | Erythromelalgia (EM) is a rare condition characterized by episodes of burning pain, warmth, swelling and redness in parts of the body, particularly the hands and feet. This condition may occur spontaneously (primary EM) or secondary to neurological diseases, autoimmune diseases, or myeloproliferative disorders (seconda... | GARD | Erythromelalgia |
What are the symptoms of Erythromelalgia ? | What are the signs and symptoms of Erythromelalgia? Currently it is very difficult to predict how a person's primary erythromelalgia will affect them overtime. The cause of primary erythromelalgia is not well understood. Much of the literature regarding the long term outlook for people with idiopathic primary erythrome... | GARD | Erythromelalgia |
What causes Erythromelalgia ? | What causes erythromelalgia? About 15% of cases of erythromelalgia are caused by mutations in the SCN9A gene. The SCN9A gene gives instructions for making part of a sodium channel which carries sodium into cells and helps them make and transmit electrical signals. These sodium channels are found in nerve cells that tra... | GARD | Erythromelalgia |
How to diagnose Erythromelalgia ? | How is erythromelalgia diagnosed? Erythromelalgia can be diagnosed through a clinical exam and medical history. Additional tests may include a skin biopsy and thermography to evaluate skin temperature. Blood tests or other studies may be done to rule out other conditions that can cause similar symptoms. There is not a ... | GARD | Erythromelalgia |
