Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata Type I

چکیده
Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata Type I is one of the rare peroxisome disorders. We report the case of a newborn white male that developed seizures and skeletal dysmorphism. The baby had short humerus bones with stippled epiphyses, consistent with the disease. He had also delay in myelinization on brain MRI with bilateral subependymal cysts over the atria and frontal horns of the lateral ventricles. Usually, infants with this disorder do not live long. This unfortunate little patient died at 5 weeks age from pneumonia. We emphasize the importance of antenatal screening for these disorders especially when a family history of dysmorphism is positive.

Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata with maternal systemic lupus erythromatosus.
We report Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata (RDCP), a rare, autosomal recessive disorder with rhizomelic shortening of limbs, congenital cataracts and seizures but without any biochemical abnormality. The mother of the baby developed Systemic Lupus Erythromatosus (SLE) with Ro/SSA antibodies 11 months after delivery. Ro/SSA antibodies may generate calreticulin antibodies causing characterist...
متن کاملNon-rhizomelic and rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata within a single complementation group
Several patients have been described recently who suffer from a non-rhizomelic type of chondrodysplasia punctata (CDP), but who show all the biochemical abnormalities characteristic of the rhizomelic form of chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP), a peroxisomal disorder. We have used protease protection experiments and microinjection of repotter-protein-encoding expression plasmids to show that perox...
متن کاملRhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata with isolated DHAP-AT deficiency.
An infant with the characteristic phenotype of classical rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata was found to have an isolated deficiency of the peroxisomal enzyme acyl CoA dihydroxyacetone phosphate acyltransferase (DHAP-AT). All other peroxisomal functions measured were found to be normal. Previously described in one other case report, this confirms the existence of another distinct form of pero...

Background Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata (RCDP) type 1 is among of the rare autosomal recessive peroxisome biogenesis disorders caused by mutations in the PEX7 gene. RCDP patients with the classic form of RCDP1 do not live more than 10- year. Materials and Methods In the present study, a two-year-old girl with skeletal abnormalities and dysmorphic facial appearance is reported to be suf...
