• Lymphedema

  Nonne-Milroy lymphedema is usually an autosomal dominant disorder, yet de novo mutations are not infrequent ( 7 – 10 ). Thus, a family history of lymphedema is not required for diagnosis. [jci.org]

Prognosis The prognosis is severe with neonatal death in most children ; only 5 cases have been described with a survival beyond the first year of life. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]

Prognosis Outcome is dependent upon gestational age at birth and whether intrauterine fetal brain ischemia occurred. The lower the gestational age at birth the greater the risk for long-standing neurologic or pulmonary sequelae. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Clinically, each CGS is characterized by a specific and complex phenotype, which was recognized in most cases as a genetic syndrome before knowledge of their cytogenetic etiology. [ommbid.mhmedical.com]

The seemingly common craniofacial and skeletal anomalies in our patients raise the question whether the 15q26→qter region is implicated as a fourth candidate region in the etiology of SGS. [nature.com]

Etiology: The genetic basis of the Perlman syndrome is unknown and there is no conclusive laboratory test to confirm the diagnosis. Although both sexes are affected, the sex ratio is 2M:1F. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
