Presentation
The patient presented with persistent headaches and a 2-year history of progressive hand, arm, and face numbness. [thejns.org]
Acronym SCKL1 Synonyms Bird-headed dwarfism Microcephalic primordial dwarfism I Nanocephalic dwarfism Seckel-type dwarfism Keywords Any medical or genetic information present in this entry is provided for research, educational and informational purposes [uniprot.org]
If the occipitofrontal head circumference present at birth is less than this value, the diagnosis of Seckel syndrome is confirmed. 3. [icliniq.com]
Blood abnormalities with chromosome breakage may be present in less than 25% of individuals who have Seckel syndrome. [globalgenes.org]
The objective is to present two unrelated patients with a 10-year-old male and female patients with Meier Gorlin syndrome type 1, the latter being the second report in the Mexican population. [go.gale.com]

- Disability
The onset is prenatal and continues postnatally causing severe microcephaly, a bird-like face, dwarfism, and severe intellectual disability.[1][2] Facial features of Seckel Syndrome Prevalence[edit | edit source] Seckel Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder [physio-pedia.com]
Intellectual and developmental disabilities are also common. Despite an array of physical and mental challenges facing a person with Seckel syndrome, many have been known to live well in excess of 50 years. [verywellhealth.com]
It is clinically characterized by many features including: intrauterine growth restriction postnatal growth delay microcephaly 7 intellectual disability facial dysmorphisms micrognathia recessed forehead large beaked nose It is considered a type of primordial [radiopaedia.org]

- Swelling
MN were visualized following swelling in KCl and fixation in Carnoy's fixative by staining DNA with DAPI, whilst the cytoplasm was differentially stained using acridine orange (2 µg/ml). [academic.oup.com]
Musculoskeletal
- Small Head
Symptoms: Symptoms may include the following: Very small at birth (average birth weight is 1,540 g or about 3.3 pounds). Extremely small proportionate stature (dwarfism). Very small head (microcephaly). "Beak-like" protrusion of the nose. [medigoo.com]
Persons with Seckel syndrome have distinct physical and developmental characteristics, including: Very small size and weight at birth (average 3.3 pounds) Extremely small, proportionate stature Abnormally small head size (microcephaly) A beak-like protrusion [verywellhealth.com]
Physical findings: The physical findings of SCKL include: • Small for gestational age at birth; • Extremely small but proportionate stature (dwarfism); • Small head size (microcephaly); • Pointed nose; • Narrow face; • Malformed ears; • High arched roof [secure.ssa.gov]
Seckel syndrome may be suspected if a fetus has a small head (microcephaly), slow growth or features of the head and face (craniofacial) associated with Seckel syndrome. [rarediseases.org]
Seckel syndrome is suspected if a fetus has a small head, slow growth, and changes to the head and face associated with the condition. [physio-pedia.com]
Skin
- Hirsutism
Occasionally, clinodactyly, hip dysplasia, radial dislocation, cryptorchidism, hirsutism, clitoridomegaly, dental abnormalities, corpus callosum agenesis, and others may also be observed. [cags.org.ae]
In addition, affected children may have increased body hair (hirsutism). Another possible feature is a single, deep crease across the palms of the hands (single palmar crease). [rarediseases.org]
Neurologic
- Ataxia
One form of Seckel syndrome can be caused by mutation in the gene encoding ataxia-telangiectasia and RAD3-related protein ATR which maps to chromosome 3q22.1-q24. [wikidoc.org]
The gene was later identified to be the ATR (Ataxia-Telangiectasia and RAD3-Related) gene. [cags.org.ae]
Seckel syndrome 1: ataxia-telangiectasia and Rad3-related protein (ATR) gene Seckel syndrome 2: RB binding protein 8 (RBBP8) gene Seckel syndrome 4: centromere protein J (CENPJ) gene Seckel syndrome 5: centrosomal protein 152 (CEP152) gene Seckel syndrome [physio-pedia.com]
This gene has subsequently been identified as ATR (ataxia-telangiectasia and RAD-3 related protein) in the same families. [medigoo.com]
Mutations in ATM cause ataxia telangiectasia (A-T), a human condition conferring clinical and cellular radiosensitivity, progressive ataxia, cancer predisposition (mainly lymphoma) and immune dysfunction (16). [academic.oup.com]
Urogenital
- Cryptorchidism
Occasionally, clinodactyly, hip dysplasia, radial dislocation, cryptorchidism, hirsutism, clitoridomegaly, dental abnormalities, corpus callosum agenesis, and others may also be observed. [cags.org.ae]
ATR View recommended genes panels Clinical Features Top most frequent phenotypes and symptoms related to Seckel Syndrome 1; Sckl1 Intellectual disability Seizures Short stature Microcephaly Scoliosis Growth delay Micrognathia Strabismus Cleft palate Cryptorchidism [mendelian.co]
Achondroplasia Cryptorchidism Dislocations of pelvis and elbow Pancytopenia Mental retardation mild to moderate. Other skeletal abnormalities such as clinodactyly (fifth finger fixatedin a bend position permanently) and clubfoot are sometimes seen. [wikidoc.org]
Males with Seckel syndrome may have testes that do not lower properly (cryptorchidism). Affected females may have a large clitoris (clitoromegaly). In addition, affected children may have increased body hair (hirsutism). [rarediseases.org]
Treatment
All mitotic cells in Figure 3 have been obtained following 24 h treatment with 1.5 µM nocodazole, the same treatment used to examine for NF cells. Figure 4. [academic.oup.com]
The patient died 1 year later of complications related to treatment of a rapidly progressing intracranial aneurysm. This report documents the first case associating moyamoya and Seckel syndromes. [thejns.org]
Treatment: There is no cure for Seckel syndrome. Certain medications may be prescribed to address other symptoms associated with the disorder. [medigoo.com]
TREATMENT Treatment for SCKL is symptom specific. Affected school age children may benefit from early intervention programs and special education. [secure.ssa.gov]
Treatment Growth retardation associated with Seckel syndrome shows some response to growth hormone therapy if started early into the natural history of the disease. [3]. [wikidoc.org]
Etiology
Discussion and conclusion: Recognizing and giving multidisciplinary follow-up will help to know the etiology of the disease, as well as its evolution, management and genetic counseling. [go.gale.com]
Without a codified etiological treatment, a psychotherapist support, a genetic counseling, a regular pediatric follow-up, a quarterly odontostomatological and ophthalmological follow- up have been recommended. [mdpi.com]
