{"title":"Genetic Mutations Reported in Patients of Consanguineous and Nonconsanguineous Marriages who Presented at a Tertiary Health Center for Genetic Counseling","authors":"Christy Vijay, Naveen Ramesh, Abhay Joseph, Preetha Tilak, GS Thanmayi","doi":"10.5005/jp-journals-10006-2166","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.5005/jp-journals-10006-2166","url":null,"abstract":"Background and objectives: It is vital to understand the function of every gene in the human genome, which determines the outcomes of an offspring based on copies of genes and the resulting phenotypes. Consanguinity is the sexual union or marriage between two individuals within their relatives (such as second cousins), sharing a common gene pool or biological ancestor. Hence, with the minimal information on consanguinity and the possible associated genetic mutations present in South Indian population. Methods: The data were collected by reviewing all the assessments done among parents identified to have 2nd-and/or 3rd-degree consanguineous marriage or genetic syndromes or any genetic abnormalities. The data analyzed were based on the records reviewed from 1st January 2018 to 31st May 2021, and ethical approval was obtained. Type of genetic mutations, fetal variables, maternal variables, paternal variables, and association of phenotypic outcomes in an individual born of consanguineous union were evaluated. Results: The study evaluated 529 parents with genetic syndromes or any genetic abnormalities, who were assessed in terms of consanguinity status and outcomes of the most recent pregnancy. It was found that more than half of the parents, 307 (58.0%), had a live baby born with congenital anomalies followed by 102 (19.3%) parents who had a normal live baby, abortions 90 (17.0%), and IUD 6 (1.1%). Conclusion: The incidence increases with the consanguinity, and therefore, it is imperative to educate our population against consanguineous marriages and thereby bring down the incidence of genetic syndromes. Mental and physical disabilities are the main outcomes of these conditions.","PeriodicalId":53559,"journal":{"name":"Journal of SAFOG","volume":"59 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135928122","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

These create alterations in the muscles nerves and connective tissue. As parity increases cumulative effect gives rise to various long-term and short complications. Materials and methods: This present observational study is planned to evaluate the lower genital tract injuries following vaginal delivery with regard to their frequencies, types, severity, and complications. Most of the studies are conducted in primiparas. This study would be conducted in multiparas sustaining lower genital tract injuries; it may help to evolve the checklist of do’s and don’ts. Results: Out of 144 patients studied, 68.7% of patients had previous delivery. Out of which 51.4% had maximum injuries if compared to those with 2 or more injuries. Women with basal metabolic index (BMI) in the overweight and obese categories were more susceptible to lacerations with 2.6 and 1.98 odds ratio respectively. Induction and oxytocin also affect lower genital tract injuries causing a significant increase in their numbers whereas episiotomies have no significant change in lower genital tract injuries. Conclusion: This study would give insight into various factors such as parity, labor induction, prolonged labor, precipitate labor, injudicious use of oxytocin, improper technique of episiotomy, assisted vaginal delivery, and instrumental delivery affecting the lower genital tract.","PeriodicalId":53559,"journal":{"name":"Journal of SAFOG","volume":"261 ","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135928261","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Lack of awareness, asymptomatic nature of the disease, and poor health-seeking results in delayed diagnosis and bad prognosis. The present study aims to estimate cervical cytological abnormalities in women of the largest tribal part of India. Materials and methods: About 280 women from six districts of Santhal Pargana (the largest tribal area of India) were given a Papanicolaou smear test from August to October 2022 in AIIMS Deoghar to find an infection, cervical lesions, and reactive changes. Data on the sociodemographic and reproductive characteristics of the study population was collected through a structured questionnaire. Information, education and communication (IEC) clearance was obtained. The collected data have been analyzed through statistical package for social studies (SPSS). Results: The study results show the presence of abnormal cervical cytology to be 9.3% of the study population. Out of 280 participants, 23 (8.2%) showed normal cytology and 232 (82.9%) were inflammatory. A diagnosis of atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASC-US) was present in 18 (6.4%) cases, atypical glandular cells (AGC) in 3 (1.1%), and 5 (1.8%) patients had a low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL) exhibiting koilocytic atypia. White discharge per vagina and poor hygiene were associated significantly with abnormal cervical cytology. Conclusion: Abnormal cytology was found in 9.3% of the participants and a history of white discharge per vagina and poor hygiene were significantly associated. Regular screening and educating them on clinical features and hygiene helps to prevent cancer of the cervix among them.","PeriodicalId":53559,"journal":{"name":"Journal of SAFOG","volume":"11 4","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"135928262","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
