Presentation
In conclusion, the clinical presentation and peroxisome profile of the patient suggest that this novel mutation leads to RCDP type 1. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
The patient described here presented subaortic perimembranous IAC an IVC. [jped.com.br]
Infants who survivebeyond the first year usually present normal life expectancy andmental development. [rb.org.br]
Life expectancy is considerably reduced. [1] [2] Prevalence Estimated 1 in 100,000; RCDP 1 is most common subtype. [1] Characteristics/Clinical Presentation These patients present with severe and symmetrical shortening of the proximal long bones (rhizomelia [physio-pedia.com]

Treatment
TREATMENT Treatment for Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata Type 1 is symptomatic depending on the features of an individual. [evolvegene.com]
Management and treatment There is no specific treatment for the enzyme defect. Prognosis Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia has a severe prognosis with death generally occurring during the first decade of life, mainly due to respiratory complications. [orpha.net]
Treatment Treatment Options: No treatment is available beyond supportive measures. Cataract removal may improve vision but the poor prognosis for longevity requires caution be used. [disorders.eyes.arizona.edu]

Prognosis
What is the prognosis for a person with Rhizomelic Chondrodysplasia Punctata Type 1? The prognosis for a child with the classic form of RCDP1 is poor. Many die in the first or second year of life, and few survive beyond the age of 10. [counsyl.com]

Prognosis Rhizomelic chondrodysplasia has a severe prognosis with death generally occurring during the first decade of life, mainly due to respiratory complications. [orpha.net]
The rhizomelic condrodisplasia has a grave prognosis, usually with death during first decade of life (mainly because of respiratory complications). [tellmegen.com]
Etiology
Etiology The disease is caused by defective peroxisome metabolism. [orpha.net]
These findings, in combination with the specific clinical presentation, leads to the diagnosis of rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata. [3] Etiology/Causes Genetic mutations of three genes mentioned above, which leads to peroxisome biogenesis disorders [physio-pedia.com]

Mutations in the PEX7 gene prevent plasmalogen production and disrupt peroxisome functions. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive pattern. [evolvegene.com]
Mutations in the PEX7, GNPAT, or AGPS genes prevent peroxisomes from making plasmalogens. Researchers are working to determine how problems with plasmalogen synthesis lead to the specific signs and symptoms of rhizomelic chondrodysplasia punctata. [ghr.nlm.nih.gov]
Management of ichthyosis involves topical treatment and, in severe cases, bandaging to help prevent infection. Prognosis Prognosis of chondrodysplasia punctata depends on the type. The rhizomelic form of this disorder has a very poor prognosis. [encyclopedia.com]
