Lowe syndrome
Lowe syndrome (the oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe, OCRL) is a multisystem disorder characterised by anomalies affecting the eye, the nervous system and the kidney. It is a uncommon, panethnic, X-linked disease, with estimated prevalence in the general population of approximately 1 in 500,000. Bilateral cataract and severe hypotonia are present at birth. In the subsequent weeks or months, a ...
متن کاملLowe syndrome
Lowe syndrome (LS) is a lethal X-linked genetic disease caused by functional deficiencies of the phosphatidlyinositol 5-phosphatase, Ocrl1. In the past four years, our lab described the first Ocrl1-specific cellular phenotypes using dermal fibroblasts from LS patients. These phenotypes, validated in an ocrl1-morphant zebrafish model, included membrane remodeling (cell migration/spreading, fluid...
متن کاملDental findings in Lowe syndrome.
This paper presents the dental findings of a child with the oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe. The genetic abnormality in this condition results in an inborn error of inositol phosphate metabolism. Renal tubular dysfunction leads to metabolic acidosis and phosphaturia. At 4 years, generalised mobility of all primary teeth was noted. It is postulated that a defective inositol phosphate metaboli...
متن کاملMultiple epidermal cysts in lowe syndrome.
Lowe syndrome is a rare genetic disease that appears to cause various clinical symptoms involving the eye, nervous system, and kidney. While a mutation of the OCRL1 gene is known to be responsible for this syndrome, the exact pathophysiology remains unclear. Various multi-organ symptoms are characteristic of Lowe syndrome, but skin lesions have rarely been described. Recently, mechanisms for th...
متن کاملCongenital fibre type disproportion myopathy
Nine children with congenital fibre type disproportion (CFTD) are described. Their muscle biopsies contained type 1 fibres which were smaller than the largest type 2 fibres by at least 13.5%. Attention is drawn to the variable natural history of this disorder which generally carries a good prognosis but may sometimes be associated with fatal respiratory problems. For important therapeutic, gene...
