Gastrointestinal (eosophageal stenosis, chronic emesis, diarrhea), and hematological (microcytic hypochromic anemia, leukopenia) abnormalities occur infrequently [2]. Both of the current cases were examined for leukopenia. [heighpubs.org]
Treatment
Management and treatment Management should include laser treatment for the telangiectatic lesions, annual ophthalmic examinations and a radiological survey in case of bone pain, limping or fractures (indicators of osteosarcoma). [orpha.net]
Treatment and Management Treatment of RTS is based on the symptoms present for each person. [gardn.org.au]
Following conservative surgery, she is currently off treatment and disease-free 2 years from diagnosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis in RTS is variable: life expectancy is normal in the absence of cancer, whereas outcomes in patients with malignant pathologies depend on the quality and frequency of cancer screening and treatment. [orpha.net]
Her prognosis is guarded in view of the increased incidence of neoplasms in this condition. More than 200 cases of RTS have now been reported worldwide.1 This is the first report of siblings with haematological disease and RTS. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiology
Etiology RTS is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait and RTS2 is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutations in the RECQL4 gene (8q24.3), whereas the etiology of RTS1 (see this term) remains unknown. [orpha.net]
This is the second reported case of an association between these two conditions, which are both likely to be due to a common etiologic cause of nonrepair of stem cell DNA damage. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology RECQL4 gene is mutated in some cases of Rothmund-Thomson syndrome (RTS) (MIM.268400). mutations in the RECQL4 gene (MIM.603780) on chromosome 8q24.3 coding for helicase recQ-like type 4 Tumoral predisposition osteosarcoma ( HPA:15245 ) ( 10986997 [humpath.com]

Prevention
Injection of ondansetron 0.1 mg/kg was given to prevent postoperative nausea and vomiting. The procedure lasted for 30 minutes. Subsequently the patient was reversed and extubated uneventfully. [tandfonline.com]
The use of excimer laser PTK prevented the development of dense amblyopia in this child. This case demonstrates an indication for excimer laser PTK in the pediatric population. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
A shortage of the RECQL4 protein may prevent normal DNA replication and repair, causing widespread damage to a person's genetic information over time. [medlineplus.gov]
