• neurofibromatoses
  15 November 2005

  Neurofibromatoses comprise two autosomal dominant disorders, affecting approximately 100,000 people in the United States. They are referred to as neurofibromatosis type 1 (NF1)(previously called von Recklinghausen disease) and neurofibromatosis type 2 (NF2) (previously called acoustic neurofibromatosis).
  Types

• hypomyelinating leukodystrophies
  15 June 2004

  Hypomyelinating leukodystrophies (HMLs) are disorders involving aberrant myelin formation.
  The prototype of primary HMLs is the X-linked Pelizaeus-Merzbacher disease (PMD) caused by mutations in PLP1.
  Homozygous mutations in GJA12 encoding connexin 47 were found in patients with autosomal-recessive Pelizaeus-Merzbacher-like disease (PMLD).

• viral gastritis
  10 November 2005

  Although many common enteroviruses are believed to infect the gastric mucosa, so few patients with acute gastroenteritis undergo gastric biopsy that no information is available on the morphologic features of these infections.
  CMV gastritis
  The only viral infections of the stomach with a distinct pathologic appearance are those caused by cytomegalovirus (CMV); CMV-associated gastritis is seen almost exclusively in children and immunocompromised patients.
  Usually it is associated with (...)
