What is Bloom Syndrome?

Bloom syndrome is a genetic state characterized by a problem with the BLM gene, which normally controls the recombrication during cell division. As a result of a disorder in this gene, people with Bloom syndrome are experienced by chromosomal breaking and rearrangement, which in turn can cause a number of complications. There is no cure for Bloom syndrome; Treatment focuses on prevention, if possible, and then mastering symptoms when they occur in patients affected by this condition. This condition is recessive, so both parents have to carry a damaged gene in order for a child to have a flower syndrome, but the carriers can have potentially descendants who are also carriers.ey have distinctive long, narrow faces with small chin. Their voices are often high and often develop strange pigmentation patterns on the skin, especially on their faces. These properties cause Bloom to be easily identified and sometimes leads to social stigma due to insufficient understanding of Blooma syndrome.

Some patients also have mental or physical disabilities and are often plagued by respiratory problems, fertility and immune deficiencies that can expose them to different serious conditions. Many women with Bloom syndrome experience menopause at a very early age, while men usually have sperm problems. Bloom syndrome also significantly increases the risk of cancer; Many patients have cancer at the age of 25, except for a short life.

genetic testing can be used to determine whether someone is a BLSYNDROM OOM and many Jewish health organizations recommend taking tests for Bloom syndrome and other conditions that are particularly common in the Jewish community, in addition to participating in genetic counseling. Parents who are carriers may want to carefully think about the risks of passing Bloom's syndrome to their children; Some decide to chase IVF to have children so that they can try the embryos on the grades that it bears the gene.
