Thrombocytopenia usually remains only disease manifestation throughout life 1 [ Pecci et al 2014a]. Once a person develops polyps, the colonoscopy frequency may be increased with the goal of removing all large polyps

MUTYH (MYH)-associated polyposis (MAP) is a hereditary condition. People with MAP tend to develop multiple adenomatous colon polyps during their lifetime and will have an increased risk of colorectal cancer if they are not monitored closely with regular colonoscopies. An adenomatous polyp is an area where the normal cells that line the inside of the colon begin to form a mass. At first, a polyp is benign, meaning it is noncancerous and will not spread. However, some polyps can eventually turn malignant, meaning cancerous, and cancers can spread to other parts of the body. It is likely that people with MAP will develop many polyps, and therefore their risk for colorectal cancer may be increased if these polyps are not removed. Urinalysis, 24-hour protein, or protein (or albumin)-to-creatinine ratio on a spot urine sample; serum concentration of creatinineMolecular genetic testing approaches can include a combination of gene-targeted testing (single-gene testing and multigene panel) and comprehensive genomic testing ( exome sequencing and genome sequencing) depending on the phenotype. This led to the creation of a faith and culturally sensitive helpline service putting young people at the frontline of service delivery. ​ The absence of faith and culturally sensitive support services from mainstream providers and the culture of taboo and condemnation that surrounds youth issues in the Muslim community means young people in the UK have nowhere to turn for support and often endure their problems in silence. The mechanisms of hearing loss are poorly understood. However, the hearing defect is likely to derive from alteration of the functions of the hair cells of the cochlea of the inner ear – that is, the cells specialized in converting the sound stimulus into electric signals directed to the brain. Hearing loss interferes with activities of daily living in 90% of individuals who have an abnormal audiometric examination [ Pecci et al 2014a].

If you are concerned about your risk of developing cancer, talk with your health care team. It can be helpful to bring someone along to your appointments to take notes. Consider asking the following questions:In some people, MAP is associated with developing hundreds of polyps, and it appears to be similar to the other hereditary conditions of familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) and attenuated familial adenomatous polyposis (AFAP). In other cases, people with MAP can be diagnosed with fewer polyps (less than 20) and/or colorectal cancer at a young age. The story of H‑E‑B begins more than 100 years ago in a small, family‑owned store in the Texas Hill Country. Today, H‑E‑B serves families all over Texas and Mexico in 155 communities with more than 400 stores and over 120,000 employees. Sensorineural hearing loss is present in about 50% of individuals evaluated at a mean age of 33 years and is expected to occur in most individuals over time [ Pecci et al 2014a]. The mean age at onset is 31 years. Onset of hearing loss is distributed evenly from the first to sixth decade. Of those who develop hearing loss, 36% do so before age 20 years, 33% between ages 20 and 40 years, and 31% after age 40 years. The diagnosis of MYH9-related disease is established in a proband with suggestive findings and a heterozygous pathogenic variant in MYH9 identified by molecular genetic testing (see Table 1). Periventricular nodular heterotopia& chronic idiopathic intestinal pseudo-obstruction are assoc in the vast majority of affected persons.

Surveillance: For individuals with moderate or severe thrombocytopenia: at least annual (and in case of bleeding and/or changes in bleeding diathesis) microscopic assessment of platelet count and blood count to screen for anemia. Screening for individuals not currently under treatment for the following: annually (or every 6 months in individuals with high-risk MYH9 genotypes) for nephropathy, and every three years for hearing loss, cataracts, and abnormal liver enzymes.

Platelet macrocytosis is present from birth in all individuals with MYH9-RD (see Diagnosis, Suggestive Findings). Physical growth delay, ID, craniofacial dysmorphism, cryptorchidism, malformations of multiple organs The mean age at onset is 27 years. Of those who develop renal disease, 72% are diagnosed before age 35 years. In most individuals with nephropathy, kidney damage is progressive and evolves to end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Among those with nephropathy, the overall annual rate for progression to ESRD is 6.79 per 100 affected persons. After a median follow up of 36 months, 64% of 61 individuals with nephropathy developed chronic kidney disease and 43% developed ESRD [ Pecci et al 2014a]. In some cases, kidney damage may appear later in life and/or show a slower progression.
