Autosomal dominant multiple pterygium syndrome; Other names: Distal arthrogryposis type 8 [1] Autosomal dominant multiple pterygium syndrome is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Specialty: Dermatology
Bartsocas-Papas syndrome is a form of popliteal pterygium syndrome and is a very rare disease characterized by congenital craniofacial anomalies, popliteal webbing, and genitourinary and musculoskeletal anomalies. It was first described by Dr. Christos Bartsocas and is more specifically an autosomal recessive popliteal pterygium syndrome. [8]
Multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (MED), also known as Fairbank's disease, is a rare genetic disorder (dominant form: 1 in 10,000 births) that affects the growing ends of bones. Long bones normally elongate by expansion of cartilage in the growth plate (epiphyseal plate) near their ends.
[2] [3] First described in 1820, the condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern, and caused by mutations in the CDKN2A gene. In addition to melanoma, individuals with the condition are at increased risk for pancreatic cancer. The diagnosis of dysplastic nevus syndrome is based on clinical presentation and family history.
PI3kinase. The pathophysiology of activated PI3K delta syndrome has several aspects. [2] The normal function has P110δ (PI3K) involved in immune system regulation. [9]P110δ effect is not limited to the immune system; P110δ has a presence in transformed epithelial cells and cell adhesion molecules (airway inflammation), and research has been done on the possibility of P110δ in the nervous ...
Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome (BHD), also Hornstein–Birt–Hogg–Dubé syndrome, Hornstein–Knickenberg syndrome, and fibrofolliculomas with trichodiscomas and acrochordons [1] is a human, adult onset, autosomal dominant genetic disorder caused by a mutation in the folliculin (FLCN) gene.
Malan syndrome (MALNS) is a rare overgrowth syndrome caused by autosomal dominant mutations in the NFIX gene. [1] The syndrome is characterized by overgrowth, craniofacial dysmorphia, intellectual disability, and behavioral issues. It was formerly diagnosed as Sotos syndrome 2. [2] [3]
The syndrome marked by acute attacks affects only 10% of gene carriers. [4] The mean age at diagnosis is 33 years old. [5] Like other porphyrias, AIP is more likely to present in women. [6] A distinguishing feature of AIP that separates it from other porphyrias is the absence of photosensitive cutaneous symptoms that occur in addition to acute ...
