Current pathophysiologic knowledge of achalasia suggests the important involvement of genetic predisposition. However, familial achalasia is very rare and most of the case reports in literature have shown an autosomal recessive pattern of inherence. We hereby report a case of familial achalasia with autosomal dominant pattern of inherence affecting ten members in three generations of a Vietnamese family.

Abstract Hemochromatosis is a common disorder characterized by excess iron absorption and accumulation of iron in tissues. Usually hemochromatosis is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern and is caused by mutations in the HFE gene. Less common non-HFE–related forms of hemochromatosis have been reported and are caused by mutations in the transferrin receptor 2 gene and in a gene localized to chromosome 1q. Autosomal dominant forms of hemochromatosis have also been described. Recently, 2 mutations in theferroportin1 gene, which encodes the iron transport protein ferroportin1, have been implicated in families with autosomal dominant hemochromatosis from the Netherlands and Italy. We report the finding of a novel mutation (V162del) in ferroportin1 in an Australian family with autosomal dominant hemochromatosis. We propose that this mutation disrupts the function of the ferroportin1 protein, leading to impaired iron homeostasis and iron overload.

Osteopoikilosis is a rare asymptomatic sclerosing bony dysplasia of benign origin. It is usually found incidentally on radiological examinations. Familial occurrence indicates a genetic milieu with autosomal dominant pattern. Here, we present a case report of a young woman suffering from pelvic pain due to osteopoikilosis (OPK). The same disorder was later found in her son and daughter.

Congenital Acromial or Shoulder dimples are cutaneous depressions overlying the acromial process of the scapula. They are usually bilateral and symmetrical. Isolated biacromial dimples are usually benign and warrant no further investigations. Family history in an autosomal dominant pattern, as in our case, is frequently obtainable but the majority of isolated bilateral shoulder dimples are sporadic. There are few reports of syndromic associations as well as two cases of associated maternal cocaine abuse. Our case is a term female neonate who was noted on routine new-born check to have bilateral symmetrical shoulder dimples. She was otherwise healthy, had normal range of shoulder movements and was not dysmorphic. On further assessment it transpired the father has the same bilateral shoulder dimples but was not aware of their existence. No further investigations were carried out. This case add to the few reported cases of Biacromial Dimples with autosomal pattern of inheritance in an otherwise normal baby
