Genetic heterogeneity of Meckel syndrome.
Meckel syndrome (MKS) is a lethal, autosomal recessive condition characterised by an occipital meningoencephalocele, enlarged kidneys with multicystic dysplasia, fibrotic changes of the liver in the portal area with ductal proliferation, and postaxial polydactyly. Recently, a MKS gene has been mapped to chromosome 17q21-q24 in Finnish families, with no evidence of locus heterogeneity in this po...
متن کاملMeckel Gruber syndrome (dysencephalia splanchnocystica).
Meckel-Gruber syndrome is a rare lethal autosomal recessive condition which was first described by Johann Friedrich Meckel in 1822 and GB Gruber in 1934. More than 200 cases have been reported worldwide with an incidence ranging from 1:13,250 to 1:140,000 live births. A 21-year-old female with G3 A2 L0, presented with twin pregnancy with history of previous two anencephalic pregnancies. The pre...
متن کاملA rare case of Meckel-Gruber syndrome.
Meckel-Gruber syndrome (MKS) is a lethal, autosomal recessive transmitted anomaly, characterized by the ultrasound triad: occipital meningoencephalocele, bilateral polycystic kidney, postaxial polydactyly. The incidence is between 1÷13 250 and 1÷140 000 live births, being a rare anomaly. We report a MKS case of feminine gender diagnosed on two ultrasound findings (bilateral polycystic kidney, o...
متن کاملThe Meckel syndrome protein meckelin ( TMEM 67
Meckel syndrome (MKS) is a lethal disorder associated with renal cystic disease, encephalocele, ductal plate malformation, and polydactyly. MKS is genetically heterogeneous and part of a growing list of syndromes called ciliopathies, disorders resulting from defective cilia. TMEM67 mutation (MKS3) is a major cause of MKS and the related ciliopathy Joubert syndrome, although the complete etiolog...
متن کاملThe Case of Recurrent Lethal Fetal Syndrome: Meckel–Gruber Syndrome
Meckel–Gruber syndrome (MGS), a rare lethal syndrome, is characterized phenotypically by polycystic kidneys, occipital encephalocele, and postaxial polydactyly. This entity with 100% fatality has autosomal recessive transmission with multiple gene loci. Mutation analysis is the confirmatory test to label a case as MGS. However, two of the three above-mentioned anomalies are sufficient to arrive...
