چکیده

A 3-months old infant born to non-consanguineous parents was evaluated for hypotonia and developmental delay. He had a cataract in left eye, congenital glaucoma and megalocornea in right eye with no other dysmorphism. Anterior fontanelle was widely open. He was hypotonic with diminished tendon reflexes. Hypermobility was noted around both elbows and knees. There were unusual multiple skin folds with generalised increase in subcutaneous tissue noted in the limbs (Figure 1). His weight was between mean and -1SD.

Multiple 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...

Two closely related endocytic proteins that share a common OCRL-binding motif with APPL1.

Mutations of the inositol 5' phosphatase oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe (OCRL) give rise to the congenital X-linked disorders oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe and Dent disease, two conditions giving rise to abnormal kidney proximal tubule reabsorption, and additional nervous system and ocular defects in the case of Lowe syndrome. Here, we identify two closely related endocytic proteins, S...

Selective proximal renal tubular involvement and dyslipidemia in two cousins with oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe.

Oculocerebrorenal syndrome of Lowe (OCRL) is a rare, X-linked disorder characterized by congenital cataracts, neonatal or infantile hypotonia, seizures, cognitive impairment, and renal tubular dysfunction. In this article, we report two maternal cousins with OCRL with a hemizygous p.Ala788Asp mutation in exon 22 of the OCRL gene. They presented with diverse features of selective proximal renal ...

A novel OCRL1 gene mutation in a Turkish child with Lowe syndrome.

Oculocerebrorenal syndrome, also known as Lowe syndrome, is an X-linked recessive disorder that predominantly affects males and is characterized by growth and mental retardation, congenital cataract and renal Fanconi syndrome. OCRL1 is the gene responsible for Lowe syndrome and encodes an inositol polyphosphate-5-phosphatase. We present an 11-year-old boy with Lowe syndrome, who had a de novo f...

Lowe syndrome protein Ocrl1 is translocated to membrane ruffles upon Rac GTPase activation: a new perspective on Lowe syndrome pathophysiology.

Oculocerebrorenal Lowe syndrome is a rare X-linked disorder characterized by bilateral cataract, mental retardation and renal Fanconi syndrome. The Lowe syndrome protein Ocrl1 is a PIP2 5-phosphatase, primarily localized to the trans-Golgi network (TGN), which 'loss of function' mutations result in PIP2 accumulation in patient's cells. Although PIP2 is involved in many cell functions including ...
