چکیده

ARC syndrome, the association of arthrogryposis, renal tubular dysfunction and cholestasis, is a rare genetic disorder. We report two Saudi infants from two different families with ARC syndrome. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain of one of the infants showed lissencephaly, a previously unreported finding in this syndrome. We also review 39 ARC cases reported in the literature using the Medline database from January 1966 to September 2004.

Glomerular involvement in the arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction and cholestasis syndrome

BACKGROUND Arthrogryposis, renal dysfunction and cholestasis (ARC) syndrome is a multisystem autosomal-recessive disorder caused by defects in the VPS33B and VIPAR genes, involved in localization of apical membrane proteins. Affected children usually die by 1 year of age, often secondary to infective complications. The classic renal manifestation previously described in ARC syndrome is proximal...
