Though only definitively diagnosable by genetic sequence testing, including a G band analysis, ATR-16 syndrome may be diagnosed from its constellation of symptoms. It must be distinguished from ATR-X syndrome, a very similar disease caused by a mutation on the X chromosome, and cases of alpha-thalassemia that co-occur with intellectual disabilities with no underlying genetic relationship.
Alpha-thalassemia mental retardation syndrome (ATRX), also called alpha-thalassemia X-linked intellectual disability syndrome, nondeletion type or ATR-X syndrome, [1] is an X-linked recessive condition associated with a mutation in the ATRX gene. [2]
Causes include excessive alcohol use (the most common cause of sideroblastic anemia), pyridoxine deficiency (vitamin B 6 is the cofactor in the first step of heme synthesis [8]), lead poisoning [9] and copper deficiency. [10] Excess zinc [11] can indirectly cause sideroblastic anemia by decreasing absorption and increasing excretion of copper.
ICD-10 coding number Diseases Database coding number Medical Subject Headings Iron-deficiency anemia: D50: 6947: Iron-deficiency anemia (or iron deficiency anaemia) is a common anemia that occurs when iron loss (often from intestinal bleeding or menses) occurs, and/or the dietary intake or absorption of iron is insufficient. In such a state ...
Iron overload (also known as haemochromatosis or hemochromatosis) is the abnormal and increased accumulation of total iron in the body, leading to organ damage. [1] The primary mechanism of organ damage is oxidative stress, as elevated intracellular iron levels increase free radical formation via the Fenton reaction.
The most consistent clinical manifestation is developmental delay or intellectual disability, which is observed in all affected individuals, and can range from mild to severe. [4] Most individuals have severe developmental delay or intellectual disability (50-75%). [ 4 ]
Europe and other parts of the world use the ICD-10. The root codes for ICD-10 and ICD-10-CM are the same, making it helpful for locating codes for general body systems and disease processes. [2] [3] In ICD-11 the search and coding of any disease, including rare ones is done via the ICD-11 website. [4]
Also known as Blepharophimosis-intellectual disability syndrome, SBBYS type, it is a very rare autosomal dominant type of BIDS which is characterized by craniofacial dysmorphisms, skeletal anomalies, developmental delay, hypotonia, and intellectual disabilities. It is caused by mutations in the KAT6B gene in chromosome 10. Only 122 cases have ...
