We speculate the important role of Notch signaling in this complex phenotypic presentation of Coats plus syndrome and dextrocardia. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Only 28 cases were detailed concerning the precise clinical presentation in the literature. [clinicaltrials.gov]

Additionally, we present two previously unreported individuals from Ireland and Switzerland with the identical disorder which we designate Coats' plus. [research.manchester.ac.uk]

Presentation of case: The patient is a female in her 40 s with a history of coat's disease and end stage renal failure on dialysis. The etiology of renal failure was not discovered, and the patient was being worked up for a kidney transplant. [miami.pure.elsevier.com]

Despite numerous workups, no specific etiology was identified for the GI bleeding. Conclusion: Previous reports have not investigated cause of GI bleeding, since it is extremely rare in the literature. [miami.pure.elsevier.com]

These patients are often family members of a patient with advanced disease, who are identified during the screening workup for suspected FEVR. [reviewofophthalmology.com]

Extensive workup of the patient was undertaken. It included a muscle biopsy for suspected mitochondrial disorder. [academic.oup.com]

Treatment with a combination of oral oestrogen and progesterone ameliorated the gastrointestinal blood loss such that monthly blood transfusions could be stopped. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We characterized the patients' phenotype, recapitulated it in a zebrafish model and rescued cellular and clinical aspects by the ectopic expression of wild-type STN1 or by thalidomide treatment. [mdanderson.elsevierpure.com]

Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment for the general condition has been reported. Specific treatment for the retinal vascular and brain lesions might be of benefit. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

We characterized the patients’ phenotype, recapitulated it in a zebrafish model and rescued cellular and clinical aspects by the ectopic expression of wild-type STN1 or by thalidomide treatment. [gene-tools.com]

Prognosis The prognosis depends on the extent of the disease with milder, older presenting cases, having a better prognosis, of even spontaneous regression, whereas children under the age of three have a poorer prognosis. [eyewiki.aao.org]

Such deposits have high concentrations of protein, cholesterol, hemosiderin-laden macrophages, and RPE cells with fibrous metaplasia. 16,17 This can lead to subfoveal fibrotic nodules with a particularly poor prognosis. [reviewofophthalmology.com]

[…] syndrome is a group of heterogeneous degenerative neurological disorders, which differ from the classical idiopathic Parkinson's disease in certain associated clinical features, poor response to levodopa, distinctive pathological characteristics and poor prognosis [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The etiology of renal failure was not discovered, and the patient was being worked up for a kidney transplant. The patient required admission after deterioration of nutritional status with a BMI of 14.3. [miami.pure.elsevier.com]

Its precise genetic etiology was discovered in 2012: autosomal recessive mutation of the CTC1 gene. Publications about this syndrome are very few, and consist only of case reports, or small series of cases. [clinicaltrials.gov]

[…] have suggested that the presence of bone marrow failure and telomere dysfunction in patients with CPS could strongly support a relationship between the disruption of telomere homeostasis and the ocular pathology and that the TERC gene deletion could be etiologically [humangeneticsjournal.com]

These characteristics help to clearly identify ROP as a causative etiology. The classic finding in FEVR is peripheral retinal capillary nonperfusion. [reviewofophthalmology.com]

In conclusion, the etiology of LCC remains unknown. In spite of relatively characteristic findings in imaging and histopathological examination, there is no uniformity in the clinical findings noted in the published articles. [scielo.br]

The CST complex helps prevent telomeres from being degraded in some cells as the cells divide. Mutations in the CTC1 gene impair the function of the CST complex, which affects the replication of telomeres. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]

This enzyme prevents a progressive telomere shortening8. Critical telomere shortening results in a proliferative defect in hematopoietic stem cells leading to bone marrow failure syndrome9. [humangeneticsjournal.com]

To prevent telomere shortening, telomerase, a ribonucleoprotein enzyme, extends telomeres by reverse transcription. This is crucial for telomere length maintenance in germ cells, stem cells and cancers. [imb.sinica.edu.tw]
