Presentation
Severe intellectual disability is often present. [rarediseases.org]
Our data thus expand the phenotypic spectrum of WDR4 mutations by demonstrating that, depending on the specific mutated allele, a renal phenotype may be present. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We reviewed their clinical manifestations, the prenatal and postnatal presentations and ultrasound findings, results of imaging studies, associated anomalies, and outcome on follow-up. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]
Entire Body System
-
Arachnodactyly
Arachnodactyly or camptodactyly were noted in all patients. Neurological findings consisted of microcephaly, hypotonia, developmental delay, and seizures. Brain imaging studies all showed pachygyria and hypomyelination. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]

Epilepsy
Galloway-Mowat syndrome: an early-onset progressive encephalopathy with intractable epilepsy associated to renal impairment. Two novel cases and review literature. Seizure. 2010;19:132-135. Dietrich A, Matejas V, Bitzan M, et al. [rarediseases.org]
-
Anemia
These findings, occurring in association with anemia and an abnormal accumulation of fluid that causes swelling (edema), may indicate a diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome. [rarediseases.org]
Gastrointestinal
-
Projectile Vomiting
Such gastroesophageal reflux may cause affected infants to spit up and/or vomit repeatedly; in some cases, vomiting may be particularly forceful (projectile vomiting). [rarediseases.org]
Skin
-
Skin Edema
(edema), particularly around the eye sockets (periorbital edema) and in the lowermost parts of the body, such as the ankles (dependent edema). [rarediseases.org]
Face, Head & Neck
-
Narrow Forehead
Physical features may include malformations of the head and facial (craniofacial) area including microcephaly, which can be present at birth or develop shortly after birth, an abnormally high, narrow forehead and unusually small jaw bones (micrognathia [rarediseases.org]
Psychiatrical
-
Psychomotor Retardation
sitting up, crawling, walking, and other developmental milestones) and a profound delay in the attainment of skills requiring the coordination of muscular and mental activity (psychomotor retardation). [rarediseases.org]
Neurologic
-
Seizure
Therapy with anti-seizure (anticonvulsant) drugs may be prescribed for affected individuals who experience seizures to help prevent, reduce, or control seizures. [rarediseases.org]
Neurological findings consisted of microcephaly, hypotonia, developmental delay, and seizures. Brain imaging studies all showed pachygyria and hypomyelination. All patients developed early-onset nephrotic syndrome. [pesquisa.bvsalud.org]
-
Convulsions
Neurological features may include a lack of response to stimuli in the environment and/or episodes of uncontrolled electrical disturbances in the brain that may cause convulsions, spasms, and/or other symptoms (seizures). [rarediseases.org]
Workup
Clinical Testing and Workup In affected infants, symptoms associated with nephrotic syndrome may become apparent within days, weeks, months, or in some cases, years after birth. [rarediseases.org]
Urine
-
Albuminuria
Urinary analysis may reveal small traces of blood (hematuria) and abnormally high levels of protein (proteinuria), specifically albumin (albuminuria), in the urine. [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
Treatment with corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressive drugs has not been effective for nephrotic syndrome associated with Galloway-Mowat syndrome. [rarediseases.org]

Prognosis
Parents should talk to the physician and medical team about their child’s specific case, associated symptoms and overall prognosis. [rarediseases.org]
Prevention
Therapy with anti-seizure (anticonvulsant) drugs may be prescribed for affected individuals who experience seizures to help prevent, reduce, or control seizures. [rarediseases.org]
