Mutations in PTF1A are not a common cause for human VATER/VACTERL association or neural tube defects mirroring Danforth's short tail mouse.
Danforth's short tail (Sd) mutant mice exhibit defects of the neural tube and other abnormalities, which are similar to the human vertebral anomalies, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheosophageal fistula and/or esophageal atresia, renal and radial abnormalities, and limb defects (VATER/VACTERL) association, including defects of the hindgut. Sd has been shown to underlie ectopic gene expressi...
متن کاملRenal dysplasia characterized by prominent cartilaginous metaplasia lesions in VACTERL association
BACKGROUND Renal dysplasia is the most important cause of end-stage renal disease in children. The histopathological characteristic of dysplasia is primitive tubules with fibromuscular disorganization. Renal dysplasia often includes metaplastic cartilage. Metaplastic cartilage in renal dysplasia has been explained as occurring secondary to vesicoureteral reflux (VUR). Additionally, renal dyspla...
متن کاملAssociation of VACTERL with truncus arteriosus, left-sided aortic arch, hypoplastic pulmonary arteries, and severe radial axis defect
Background: VACTERL association is usually a sporadic disorder, the possible etiologies of which have been proposed as familial as well as multiple genetic and environmental factors. VACTERL association usually consists of at least three of the core features of vertebral defects, anal atresia, cardiac defects, tracheoesophageal fistula, renal anomalies, and limb abnormalities. Vertebral anomali...
متن کاملAssociation of vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheoesophageal, renal and limb anomalies with auricle atresia; a case report
Association of vertebral, anal, cardiac, tracheoesophageal, renal and limb anomalies (VACTERL) is rare anomaly with an incidence of 1.6 per 10000 births. This condition is a combination of anomalies recognized as a hereditary entity with poor prognosis. Herein, we report VACTERL association presenting with auricle atresia. A male neonate with a birth weight of 2690 grams, head circumference 3...
متن کاملStaged rotation flap scrotoplasty and orchidopexy in a patient with inguinal ectopic scrotum
Ectopic scrotum is a rare and unusual presentation to paediatric urology. It is usually characterized by accessory scrotum with adequate scrotum in the anatomically normal position. We describe a case of inguinal ectopia of the right hemiscrotum containing the right testis, and its staged surgical management by rotation flap scrotoplasty and subsequent orchidopexy.
