A Novel Mutation in ERCC8 Gene Causing Cockayne Syndrome
Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder characterized by impaired neurological and sensory functions, cachectic dwarfism, microcephaly, and photosensitivity. This syndrome shows a variable age of onset and rate of progression, and its phenotypic spectrum include a wide range of severity. Due to the progressive nature of this disorder, diagnosis can be more impo...
متن کاملRenal Involvement in 2 Siblings With Cockayne Syndrome.
Renal involvement in Cockayne syndrome is rare and its pathogenesis is yet unknown. We report herein 2 cases (siblings) with Cockayne syndrome type A confirmed by biochemical and molecular assays. The first case was a 13-year-old girl who presented with nephritic syndrome and a rapidly progressive kidney failure. Her younger sister, 7 years old, exhibited hypertension, hyperfiltration, and micr...
متن کاملCockayne syndrome: clinicopathologic and tissue culture studies of affected siblings.
Two siblings with Cockayne syndrome (CS) had extremely severe and early onset cachectic dwarfism, developmental delay, cataracts, microcephaly, peripheral neuropathy, and spastic quadriplegia. In order to study the inherited DNA-repair defect known to be present in cultured CS cells, a lymphoblastoid line was established from the younger sibling. Tissue culture studies revealed the line to have...
متن کاملXeroderma pigmentosum-Cockayne syndrome complex
Xeroderma pigmentosum-Cockayne syndrome complex is a very rare multisystem degenerative disorder (Orpha: 220295; OMIM: 278730, 278760, 278780, 610651). Published information on XP-CS is mostly scattered throughout the literature. We compiled statistics related to symptom prevalence in XP-CS and have written a clinical description of the syndrome. We also drew on clinical practices used in XP an...
متن کاملA new mutation in the CSB gene in a Chinese patient with mild Cockayne syndrome
KEY CLINICAL MESSAGE Cockayne syndrome (CS) is a rare autosomal recessive genetic disease characterized by growth failure and progressive neurological degeneration. Here we report a mild form of CS patient who was homozygous for the C526T transition resulting in a new nonsense mutation, which converts Arg176 to a stop codon.
