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]
Smith-Kingsmore syndrome is a rare genetic disorder that is caused by gain-of-function mutation in a gene MTOR. The facial features of this syndrome are triangular face with a pointed chin, frontal bossing , hypertelorism , eyes with downslanting palpebral fissures , a flat nasal bridge , a long philtrum .
Autosomal dominant or autosomal recessive Mean age at diagnosis was found to be around 24 to 26, but it varies widely. [15] May involve salt wasting. [16] Individuals with the autosomal dominant mutations typically show higher potassium levels than those with autosomal recessive mutations. Hypertension usually develops in adulthood.
Frontotemporal dementia and parkinsonism linked to chromosome 17 (FTDP-17) is an autosomal dominant neurodegenerative tauopathy and Parkinson plus syndrome. [3] FTDP-17 is caused by mutations in the MAPT (microtubule associated protein tau) gene located on the q arm of chromosome 17, and has three cardinal features: behavioral and personality changes, cognitive impairment, and motor symptoms.
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.
POLD exhibits noninflammatory demyelination of axons with initial symptoms of euphoria, apathy, headache, and executive dysfunction. While HDLS is autosomal dominant, some families with POLD have features that suggest autosomal recessive inheritance. [9] Nevertheless, POLD has recently been shown to have the same genetic basis as HDLS.
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 ...
