  The prognosis worsens if the disorder is associated with concomitant cyanotic congenital heart disease, central nervous system anomalies, and esophageal atresia. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

• Kidney Failure

  The smaller the kidneys, compared with normal, the more chance the patient may develop impaired kidney function or kidney failure. [otago.ac.nz]

  Treatment Treatment Options: Kidney failure may require renal transplantation. Vesicoureteral reflex has been treated with ureteral reimplantation. Low vision aids may be beneficial in some patients. Renal hypertension requires treatment. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Prognosis Prognosis depends primarily on appropriate specialized treatment. Renal failure can occur at any age requiring dialysis and renal transplantation. Formal longitudinal studies of visual prognosis have not been carried out. [orpha.net]

Prognosis [ 9 ] The prognosis for vision depends on the severity and location of the coloboma (particularly in relation to the optic nerve, macula and maculopapular bundle) and on any complications such as retinal detachment or amblyopia. [patient.info]

The prognosis worsens if the disorder is associated with concomitant cyanotic congenital heart disease, central nervous system anomalies, and esophageal atresia. [accessanesthesiology.mhmedical.com]

This finding provided the molecular confirmation of the patient's clinical diagnosis and showed that, in addition to point mutations, deletions of the PAX2 gene contribute to the etiology of the renal-coloboma syndrome. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology Mutations in the PAX2 gene (10q24) have been identified in about 1/2 of patients with renal hypodysplasia and abnormalities of the optic nerve. [orpha.net]

Etiology Presently, no genes have been identified that cause COACH syndrome specifically. It is likely that alterations in multiple genes cause this condition. [radiopaedia.org]
