ICD-10 online (WHO version 2019)

The CEDNIK syndrome is one of the very rare congenital syndromes with keratoderma , a cornification disorder affecting the skin ( hyperkeratosis ) and additional developmental disorders of the nervous system .

The term is an acronym for CE rebrale D ysgenesie, N europathie , I chthyose and palmo-plantar K eratoderm.

The first description was made in 2005 by the Israeli doctor Eli Sprecher .

distribution

The frequency is given as less than 1 in 1,000,000, inheritance is autosomal - recessive . So far, around 10 patients from two families have been described.

root cause

The disease is based on mutations in the SNAP29 gene on chromosome region 22q11.2, which codes for the SNAPE protein.

Clinical manifestations

Clinical criteria are:

  • Manifestation in newborn or early childhood
  • typical facial dysmorphism with hypertelorism , broad nasal root, antimongoloid eyelid cleft
