Acrorenal Syndrome

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Classification according to ICD-10
Q87.2 Congenital malformation syndromes with predominant involvement of the extremities
ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019)

A Akrorenales syndrome , also Akrorenaler symptom complex, English syndrome Acrorenal is, in a broader sense a generic term for congenital syndromes with malformations of the limbs and the kidneys , and is as real Akrorenales syndrome to describe a very rare autosomal - recessive used inheritable disease.

The first description comes from 1969 by the German doctor H Dieker and John Marius Opitz .

distribution

The association of limb defects with kidney anomalies is common and occurs in 1 in 20,000 newborns , often with additional malformations.

The frequency of the actual syndrome is given as less than 1 in 1,000,000, so far about 20 patients have been reported. The inheritance is presumably autosomal - recessive .

root cause

The disease is based on mutations at locus 15q13-q14.

Clinical manifestations

Clinical criteria of the acrorenal syndrome as a generic term are:

In addition:

Growth disturbances , psychomotor retardation , Coloboma , Hypertelorism , antimongoloid history Lidachse, Hopyoplasie the helix , high palate , Zahnschmelzhypoplasie , clinodactyly , coxa valga , coarctation of the aorta , hypospadias or cryptorchidism

The syndrome occurs more frequently in males.

Criteria for the actual acrorenal syndrome :

  • Usually bilateral ectrodactyly, more rarely longitudinal hypoplasia of the radius , ulna , tibia or fibula
  • Renal agenesis or hypoplasia, rarely cystic kidneys

Other malformations are common.

diagnosis

The diagnosis is based on the clinical findings and those of the X-ray image . Intrauterine detection is possible using fine ultrasound .
