Syndromes of microcephaly, microphthalmia, cataracts, and joint contractures.
SUMMARY Three infants are described, one with the Neu-Laxova syndrome and two with the cerebro-oculo-facio-skeletal (COFS) syndrome. The relationship between these two syndromes is discussed in the light of the present cases and others in published reports. Pena and Shokeirl described ten infants with a syndrome consisting of microcephaly, microphthalmia, cataracts, and joint contractures and i...
متن کاملJoint contractures and diabetic retinopathy.
It has been suggested that joint contractures may be an early marker of microangiopathy, especially retinopathy, in diabetic patients. To investigate this possibility, the prevalence of contractures of the finger joints, as assessed by the painted hand technique, was compared in 106 diabetic patients without, and 105 with retinopathy (proliferative in 66%). There was an increased prevalence of ...
متن کاملArthrogryposis Multiplex Congenita: Multiple Congenital Joint Contractures
Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita (AMC) is a syndrome characterized by nonprogressive multiple congenital joint contractures. The etiology of disease is multifactorial; it is most commonly suspected from absent fetal movements and genetic defects. AMC affects mainly limbs; also it might present with other organs involvement. It is crucial that the diagnosis of AMC should be kept in mind by mus...

There has been considerable progress in the understanding of this disease since Kendig(2) published an article in 1962.

متن کاملTargeted Ablation of Connexin50 in Mice Results in Microphthalmia and Zonular Pulverulent Cataracts
In the ocular lens, gap junctional communication is a key component of homeostatic mechanisms preventing cataract formation. Gap junctions in rodent lens fibers contain two known intercellular channel-forming proteins, connexin50 (Cx50) and Cx46. Since targeted ablation of Cx46 has been shown to cause senile-type nuclear opacities, it appears that Cx50 alone cannot meet homeostatic requirements...
