Antibody deficiency, growth retardation, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia and retinal dystrophy: a novel syndrome.
نویسنده
چکیده
The clinical and laboratory combination of recurrent infections due to antibody deficiency, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, growth retardation and retinal dystrophy is novel. Four patients with strikingly similar phenotypes from three different families of diverse genetic backgrounds are described, suggesting a similar underlying genotype. Increased awareness of this syndrome will hopefully lead to the description of a larger number of affected individuals, which ultimately might be critical for its genetic characterization.

IMAGe, a new clinical association of intrauterine growth retardation, metaphyseal dysplasia, adrenal hypoplasia congenita, and genital anomalies.
We report three boys with adrenal hypoplasia congenita (AHC) and additional findings that represent a new syndrome, IMAGe: Intrauterine growth retardation, Metaphyseal dysplasia, AHC, and Genital anomalies. Each presented shortly after birth with growth retardation and severe adrenal insufficiency. Each of the three patients had mild dysmorphic features, bilateral cryptorchidism, a small penis,...
متن کاملRecurrent Hepatitis in Two Iranian Children: A Novel (Q166R) Mutation in EIF2AK3 Leading to Wolcott-Rallison Syndrome
Early-onset diabetes, liver dysfunction, growth retardation, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, and tendency to skeletal fractures due to osteopenia are characteristics of Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS). Eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α kinase (EIF2AK3) is the only known gene, which is responsible for this rare autosomal recessive disorder. Here, we report two siblings a girl and a boy w...
متن کاملWolcott-Rallison Syndrome Due to a Novel Mutation (R491X) in EIF2AK3 Gene
Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by early-onset diabetes, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia, tendency to skeletal fractures secondary to osteopenia, and growth retardation. Mutations in the eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2α kinase (EIF2AK3) gene are responsible for this disorder. Here, we describe a boy with neonatal diabetes, diagnosed ...
متن کاملSpondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda: a new autosomal recessive variant with mental retardation.
A new variant of spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia tarda with mild to moderate mental retardation is described in three daughters born to healthy, consanguineous parents. The mode of inheritance is compatible with that of an autosomal recessive disorder. The identification of this variant is important, as it enables more precise counselling in families in which sporadic cases with this form of prese...

Roifman Syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by growth retardation, cognitive delay, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia and antibody deficiency. Here we utilize whole-genome sequencing of Roifman Syndrome patients to reveal compound heterozygous rare variants that disrupt highly conserved positions of the RNU4ATAC small nuclear RNA gene, a minor spliceosome component that is essential...
