Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome (RMS) is a rare disorder that presents as severe insulin resistance as a result of mutations present in the insulin receptor (INSR). [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Diagnostic Workup of Diabetes Insipidus The first and most important step in the diagnostic workup of a patient suspected to have DI, is confirming a urinary output volume of more than 3 L per day. A 24-hour urine collection is indicated. [lecturio.com]

Standard Therapies Treatment There is no specific treatment for individuals with Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome. [rarediseases.org]

Treatment and Prognosis There is no known cure for Rabson–Mendenhall syndrome. However, a series of steps can be directed towards treating the specific symptoms. For example, surgery may be performed to treat dental abnormalities. [infogalactic.com]

Also, direct actions against other symptoms may be taken (e.g. surgery for facial abnormalities) This syndrome usually affects children and has a prognosis of 1–2 years. [en.wikipedia.org]

However, analysis revealed no mutations in the responsible genes and the etiology of the renal abnormalities therefore remains unknown. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology As in leprechaunism (of which Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome may represent a less severe form); the condition is caused by anomalies in both alleles of the insulin-receptor gene ( INSR ;19p13.3-p13.2). [orpha.net]

Central DI and nephrogenic DI have different etiologies and are discussed separately. Etiology of central diabetes insipidus An antidiuretic hormone is produced by the hypothalamus and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland (neurohypophysis). [lecturio.com]

M.D. [1] Overview Rabson-Mendenhall syndrome is a rare congenital condition characterized by severe insulin resistance, developmental abnormalities, and acanthosis nigricans. [1] A hypertrophic pineal gland has been reported in some cases. [2] Pathophysiology [wikidoc.org]

In addition to the widely recognized association of acanthosis nigricans with insulin resistance, acanthosis nigricans has been associated with numerous syndromes (see the Table in Pathophysiology). [emedicine.medscape.com]

AN exceedingly large number of studies have convincingly demonstrated that insulin resistance occurs in association with a variety of physiological and pathophysiological states, including obesity, noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM), polycystic [academic.oup.com]

The pathophysiology of RMS is explained by abnormality of the INSR gene at the gene map locus 19p13.2. (OMIM: 609968, 246200, 262190) resulting in severe biallelic loss-of-function of the insulin receptor and impaired insulin binding [ 3, 5 ]. [ijpeonline.biomedcentral.com]

Insulin resistance has also been arbitrarily defined as the requirement of 200 or more units of insulin per day to attain glycemic control and to prevent ketosis. [flipper.diff.org]

On the other hand, the introduction of these drugs (especially in the early phases of the disease) might improve glycaemic control, preserve beta cell function, prevent the decline in insulin levels [ 3 ], allow the use of lower doses of insulin and delay [link.springer.com]

This is due to progressive decline of insulin levels, which is inadequate to prevent glucose synthesis in the liver and prevent release of fatty acid by adipocytes (7). [ijpeonline.biomedcentral.com]
