Genetic Aspects of MHE.

Abstract 2005 MHE Conference

Wim Wuyts
Department of Medical Genetics University of Antwerp, Belgium.


MHE is a genetic disorder and therefore it not only affects the patient and his/her relatives, but also future generations. Genetic
counseling of MHE patients and their family is therefore an important aspect and should be offered to all MHE patients.

However, to understand the genetics of MHE one should have an understanding of basic genetics. In this workshop commonly
used genetic terms and mechanisms will be explained and the specific genetic aspects of MHE will be discussed in detail. An
overview will be presented of the options and difficulties associated with genetic screening for MHE
