Presentation
Special emphasis is placed on acutely presenting disorders and emergency situations. The rationale of the approaches presented in this book are based on extensive, collective clinical experience. [books.google.de]

present with nosebleeds, bruising and petechiae (because of thrombocytopenia). [patient.info]
Diagnosis of cancer can be the initial presentation. [verywell.com]
Workup
Any signs of developmental regression should be regarded as a medical emergency and an urgent medical workup is indicated. [learn.pediatrics.ubc.ca]
Treatment
Make informed clinical choices for each patient, from diagnosis and treatment selection through post-treatment strategies and management of complications, with new evidence-based criteria throughout. [books.google.com]
However, the focus of the book remains clinical, describing symptoms and signs at presentation, how to come to a diagnosis and methods for treatment. As with the previous edition, the book can be used in two main ways. [books.google.de]
TREATMENT There is no cure for this disorder. Treatment is symptom specific and supportive. Aplastic anemia and immunodeficiency are treated with bone marrow/stem cell transplantation. [secure.ssa.gov]
Prognosis
The prognosis is poor due to the severity of the disease course. Progressive bone marrow failure occurs in over 80% of cases and is the primary cause of early mortality. TREATMENT There is no cure for this disorder. [secure.ssa.gov]
MDS and AML in patients with SDS has a poor prognosis, with a survival rate of < 20%. Inborn conditions Rare reports of increase in spontaneous chromosomal breakage. [atlasgeneticsoncology.org]
A poor prognosis exists for intellectual development with early-onset seizures and inadequately controlled seizures. The diagnosis of Lowe syndrome is compatible with normal intelligence. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Prognosis [ 7, 8 ] Type 1: very variable disease severity. Type 2 (acute neuronopathic): rapidly progressive with death during infancy. [patient.info]
Understanding the genetic and molecular background of BMFS helps determine an accurate diagnosis, prediction of disease prognosis and specific management. [omicsonline.org]
Etiology
In addition, some of the etiologies are genetically transmitted and may affect future family members. [pedclerk.bsd.uchicago.edu]
This suggested that a defect in telomere maintenance could be involved in the etiology of this disease. [journals.plos.org]
An underlying etiology for developmental delay should be sought through attention to the following clues on history: Prenatal history Complications Prenatal diagnoses made (eg. Down Syndrome) Infections (eg. TORCH) Exposures (eg. [learn.pediatrics.ubc.ca]

This is less rapidly progressive neurovisceral storage disease, causing death in childhood or early adulthood. [ 4 ] Epidemiology All three subtypes are inherited as autosomal recessive traits. [patient.info]

Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology is not understood; it has been associated with agenesis of the corpus callosum and hypothalamic lesions. Shapiro syndrome appears to represent an altered “set point” of central thermoregulatory mechanisms. [neurology.org]

This observation has suggested a common pathophysiology in bone marrow dysfunction and leukemogenesis. As reported, these disorders are otherwise quite distinct. [clincancerres.aacrjournals.org]
The pathophysiology results from depressed synthesis or remodeling of oligosaccharide moieties of glycoproteins. The ultimate result is the formation of abnormal glycoproteins affecting their structure and metabolic functions. [lymphedemapeople.com]
Prevention
In Shwachman-Diamond syndrome (SDS), a defective SDBS protein prevents eIF6 eviction, inhibiting its recycle to the nucleus and subsequent formation of the active 80S ribosome. [jmg.bmj.com]
Can Developmental Delay Be Prevented? Since there are so many different conditions that can lead to developmental delays, there isn’t one “right way” to prevent developmental delay. [mychildwithoutlimits.org]
The genetic defect in Fanconi Anemia prevents the chromosomes from being able to repair themselves properly leading to bone marrow failure and cancer at an early age. [verywell.com]
