Presentation
Using antibodies to human RECQL4, we found that the bulk of RECQL4 was present in a cytoplasmic extract of HeLa cells, in contrast to the largely nuclear BLM and WRN helicases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
We present a 3 years old girl diagnosed with Rapadilino syndrome presenting with important lymphadenopathies and atypical pneumonia due to disseminated Mycobacterium Lentiflavum infection. Repeated blood samples showed a mild lymphopenia. [cris.cumulus.vub.ac.be]

Abstract Title Growth Hormone Treatment in Rapadilino/Rothmund-Thomson Syndrome Presenter Name Daryl McKee RAD Assignment Number 406 Abstract INTRODUCTION/CASE PRESENTATION We describe two female Caucasian siblings with compound heterozygous mutations [digitalcommons.hsc.unt.edu]
Entire Body System
- Poor Growth
Overlapping symptoms include radial ray defects, poor growth and various skeletal malformations. Thus far, they are described as separate syndromes and have in addition some distinctive symptoms. [web.archive.org]
His loose stools and poor growth persisted. At age 2 to 3 months, he developed a progressive, light-sensitive skin rash. [jamanetwork.com]
- Inguinal Hernia
He underwent corrective surgical procedures to correct the deformities of his upper forelimbs, hypospadias, and inguinal hernias. [jamanetwork.com]
Cardiovascular
- Heart Murmur
There was a systolic heart murmur. No other abnormalities were detected. Palmar der- matoglyphic pattern is very similar to that of other examples of thumb agenesis [Temtamy and Mckusick, 19781. [docslide.com.br]
Skin
- Brittle Hair
Trichothiodystrophy Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterised by brittle hair and intellectual impairment. [howlingpixel.com]
Eyes
- Small Palpebral Fissures
The 4 year old has talipes equinovarus, bilateral radial reduction defects, small palpebral fissures, small mouth, and skin changes. [digitalcommons.hsc.unt.edu]
Face, Head & Neck
- Short Neck
neck, high-pitched and hy-pernasal voice, conductive hearing loss, absent radiiwith short, bowed ulnae and four digits on each hand,flexion contractures of both hips (which were secondaryto bilateral hip dislocations in early childhood), absentpatellae [documents.tips]
- Narrow Face
Other clinical features include a high-pitched voice; distinct facial features, including a long, narrow face, micrognathism, and prominent nose and ears; pigmentation changes of the skin including hypo-pigmented and hyper-pigmented areas, cafe-au-lait [en.wikipedia.org]
Neurologic
- Poor Coordination
Nervous system problems, such as hearing loss, poor coordination, loss of intellectual function, and seizures, may also occur. [howlingpixel.com]
Workup
His extensive workup revealed bilateral absence of the patellae, subluxation of the femoral heads, and prominent osteoporosis in addition to the earlier radiographic findings. [jamanetwork.com]

Prognosis of Nail Patella Syndrome 30-55% of patients with nail-patella syndrome develop a renal disease and end-stage renal disease may develop in about 5%. Prognosis after renal transplantation is good. [boneandspine.com]
Etiology
Etiology RAPADILINO syndrome is caused by mutations of the RECQL4 gene, a member of the family of RecQ-helicase genes which are at the origin of diseases predisposing to cancer. [orpha.net]

Epidemiology
Summary Epidemiology Prevalence is unknown, but the disease is rare. It was first described in families originating from different parts of Finland, but non-Finnish cases were later identified. [orpha.net]

A shortage of the RECQL4 protein may prevent normal DNA replication and repair, causing widespread damage to a person's genetic information over time. [medicinenet.com]
The loss of helicase function may prevent normal DNA replication and repair, causing widespread damage to a person's genetic information over time. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Management options include intrauterine platelet transfusion to prevent fetal hemorrhage in labor; a planned atraumatic delivery (C section) or termination of pregnancy in the second trimester may be contemplated. [radiopaedia.org]
