SHWACHMAN-DIAMOND SYNDROME Clinical, Genetic and Radiological Study
نویسندگان
چکیده
9 Conclusions: This study expanded the phenotypic features of SDS to include primary low-turnover osteoporosis and structural alterations in the brain. Pancreatic MRI showed characteristic changes in the SBDS mutation-positive patients while these were absent in the mutation-negative patients, suggesting that MRI can be used to differentiate patients harboring SBDS mutations from those without mutations. No evidence for clinical cardiac manifestations was found, but imaging studies revealed slightly altered myocardial function that may have clinical implications. These findings confirm the pleiotropic nature of SDS and underscore the importance of careful multidisciplinary follow-up of the affected individuals.

Shwachman-Diamond syndrome: first molecular diagnosis in a Brazilian child
Herein the first molecular diagnosis of a Brazilian child with Shwachman-Diamond Syndrome is reported. A 6-year-old boy was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis at the age of 15 months due to recurrent respiratory infections, diarrhea and therapeutic response to pancreatic enzymes. Three sweat tests were negative. At the age of 5 years, he began to experience pain in the lower limbs, laxity of joints...
متن کاملShwachman Diamond Syndrome: an emergency challenge
Shwachman Diamond Syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by pancreatic insufficiency, bone marrow dysfunction and skeletal abnormalities. No specific test is available for a definitive diagnosis for SDS. In the presence of clinical features of SDS, pancreatic insufficiency should be tested for or lipomatosis radiologically demonstrated. New directions might be found in genetic ana...
متن کاملDistinct ribosome maturation defects in yeast models of Diamond-Blackfan anemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.
BACKGROUND Diamond-Blackfan anemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome are inherited bone marrow failure syndromes linked to defects in ribosome synthesis. The purpose of this study was to determine whether yeast models for Diamond-Blackfan anemia and Shwachman-Diamond syndrome differed in the mechanism by which ribosome synthesis was affected. DESIGN AND METHODS Northern blotting, pulse-chase ana...
متن کاملSyndrome of progressive bone marrow failure and pancreatic insufficiency remains cryptic despite whole exome sequencing: variant of Shwachman‐Diamond syndrome or new condition?
This case underscores the difficulty in diagnosis of bone marrow failure disorders, as the presentation of disease can be inconsistent, complicated by complex and ever-expanding genetic etiologies. A patient who presents with bone marrow failure and pancreatic insufficiency raises the question of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS) or a new condition which resembles SDS.
متن کاملCongenital aplastic anemia caused by mutations in the SBDS gene: a rare presentation of Shwachman-Diamond syndrome.
CLINICAL FINDINGS Aplastic anemia was diagnosed at birth for a first child from healthy nonconsanguineous parents. The girl had hypoglycemia, which normalized within 2 months. Cow milk allergy was suspected initially, because of skin lesions and diarrhea, followed by severe growth retardation. Clinical and radiologic symptoms gradually became typical for Shwachman-Diamond syndrome. Two common m...
