C Syndrome
Opitz Trigonocephaly C Syndrome

Presentation

Intellectual deficits and behavioral problems, including autistic features, self-harm behaviors and hyperactivity may be present. [sema4.com]

Table 1 summarises the clinical presentation and genotype of each case. The description of these cases illustrates the substantially heterogeneous expressivity of SLOS, even within families. [analesdepediatria.org]

Entire Body System

  • Short Stature

    A syndrome with variable characteristics marked mainly by short stature, mental deficiency, microcephaly, postaxial polydactyly, cleft palate, cardiovascular defects, genital malformations, and other abnormalities associated with defective cholesterol [icd10data.com]

    Symptoms may include developmental delays, toe defects, slow growth, and short stature. These children generally learn to walk and talk and can acquire other skills, although most do not become independent adults. [myriad.com]

    Short stature and restricted growth. Increased size of the ventricles (chambers of the heart). 2) Behavioral or Mental Characteristics: Low intelligence quotient. Hypersensitivity to different stimuli. Aggressiveness and self-injurious behavior. [icliniq.com]

    Clinical findings common to cholesterol biosynthesis disorders include congenital skeletal malformations, dysmorphic facial features, psychomotor retardation, and failure to thrive. [mayocliniclabs.com]

    However, despite adequate energy intake, failure to thrive frequently persists during infancy and childhood. [cmaj.ca]

Psychiatrical

  • Psychomotor Retardation

    Clinical findings common to cholesterol biosynthesis disorders include congenital skeletal malformations, dysmorphic facial features, psychomotor retardation, and failure to thrive. [mayocliniclabs.com]

Workup

There are no established guidelines on the diagnostic workup or management of nephrotic syndrome. [aafp.org]

Workup Fetal ultrasonography may reveal anomalies suggestive of Smith-Lemli-Opitz syndrome. Confirmatory prenatal diagnostic testing is currently available by genetic mutation analysis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Other Pathologies

  • Occipital Encephalocele

    Presence of occipital encephalocele as well as dysplastic kidneys favors Meckel syndrome. Genital anomalies and syndactyly support SLO. [thefetus.net]

Treatment

He hopes to reveal more about the molecular processes that cause SLOS, develop new clinical tests for monitoring disease progression, assess the potential of two possible new treatments, and find out more about how one of the treatments works. [action.org.uk]

However, there is insufficient data on whether these treatments have a significant clinical impact on the symptoms of the disease. [sharinghealthygenes.com]

Prognosis

Prognosis Prognosis is variable but usually favorable, depending on the severity of malformations and associated ID. * European Reference Network The documents contained in this web site are presented for information purposes only. [orpha.net]

What Is the Prognosis for a Person with Smith-Lemli-Opitz Syndrome? Although serious internal malformations can lead to early death, many people with SLOS can have a normal lifespan with good nutrition and medical care. [myriad.com]

Prognosis Sjögren syndrome carries a generally good prognosis. In patients who develop a disorder associated with Sjögren syndrome, the prognosis is more closely related to the associated disorder (eg, SLE, lymphoma). [emedicine.medscape.com]

Treatment and prognosis The syndrome carries a poor prognosis with most infants not surviving long after birth. References Promoted articles (advertising) [radiopaedia.org]

Etiology

Etiology The etiology of C syndrome is still unknown. Genetic counseling Although most of the reported patients are sporadic, rare cases of familial occurrence have been described. [orpha.net]

This condition is similar but distinct from MRKH syndrome (see Etiology section) and may therefore lead to confusion. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of Sjögren syndrome is not well understood. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology

Summary Epidemiology Whilst epidemiological data is limited, the prevalence of X-linked Optiz GBBB syndrome (GBBB) has been suggested to range from 1/50,000 to 1/100,000. Males are more severely affected. [orpha.net]
