ATD is inherited as a recessive trait with significant variablility of clinical course, and fairly constant radiographic presentation. [czytelniamedyczna.pl]

Renal and liver diseases occurred respectively in 17% and 22% of cases, whereas retinal alteration was present in 50% of cases aged more than 5 years. We identified DYNC2H1 mutations in 23 families (59%) and IFT80 mutations in two families (5%). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The long-term follow up emphasizes that the pulmonary prognosis is probably less pejorative and retinal involvement more frequent than previously thought. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis can be variable as a result of the marked phenotypic variation. [radiopaedia.org]

The neonatal prognosis depends on the degree of pulmonary hypoplasia and respiratory distress. 20 – 60 % of cases die within the first weeks of life. [neocyst.de]

Prognosis Prognosis depends on the initial severity of bone malformations and the age. [news-medical.net]

Prognosis • Most of patients die to respiratory compromise. • Those who survive can have improvement in thoracic deformity due to growth of thoracic cage after birth. • However patient has to live with limb deformity. [slideshare.net]
