The Boylan-Dew syndrome is a very rare congenital disease with the main features of a arthrogryposis multiplex congenita combined with existing at birth paralysis .. Most leading the disease within a few months of life to death.

Synonyms are: neuropathy, hypomyelinated - arthrogryposis, autosomal recessive; Boylan-Dew Syndrome; English Boylan Dew Greco syndrome

The name refers to the authors of the first description from 1992 by the US doctors Kevin B. Boylan, Donna M. Ferriero, Claudia M. Greco, R. Ann Sheldon and Michael Dew.

distribution

The frequency is given as less than 1 in 1,000,000, inheritance is autosomal - recessive .

root cause

Orphanet links the syndrome to the following entries in Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM):

  • Syndrome of lethal contractures type 7 , mutations in CNTNAP1 - gene on chromosome 17 locus q21.2
  • Syndrome of the lethal contractures type 8 , mutations in the ADCY6 gene on chromosome 12 locus q13.12
  • Arthrogryposis multiplex congenita with myelin defect , mutations in the LGI4 gene on chromosome 19 locus q13.12
  • Congenital hypomyelinating neuropathy type 3 , mutations in the CNTNAP1 gene on chromosome 17 locus q21.2
