			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As a bit of a follow up to the last post about genetic screening, I thought this article by <a title="Prof. Benjamin Glaser, MD" href="http://www.hadassah-med.com/English/Eng_SubNavBar/TheDoctors/GlaserBenjamin.htm" target="_blank">Dr. Benjamin Glaser</a> might be a good addition.</p>
<p>Here is an exerpt:</p>
<p style="padding-left: 30px;">Mutations in <em>ABCC8</em>, <em>KCNJ11</em>, <em>GLUD1</em>, <em>GCK</em>, and <em>HADHSC</em> are known to be associated with FHI. About 45% of affected individuals have mutations in <em>ABCC8</em> and about 5% havemutations in the coding region of <em>KCNJ11</em>. Approximately 5% of individuals have activating mutations in <em>GLUD1</em>. Rarely, affected individuals have activating mutations in <em>GCK</em> or inactivating mutations in<em>HADHSC</em>. About 40% of individuals with FHI do not have an identifiable mutation in any of the genes known to be associated with FHI. In the Ashkenazi Jewish population, two <em>ABCC8</em> founder mutationsare responsible for about 90% of FHI. Another <em>ABCC8</em> founder mutation, V187D, is present in the Finnish population. Mutation analysis for these two mutations and mutation scanning and sequence analysis of <em>ABCC8</em>, <em>KCNJ11</em>, <em>GLUD1</em>, and <em>GCK</em> are available on a clinical basis.</p>
