WRS should be differentiated from other forms of neonatal/early-onset insulin-dependent diabetes based on clinical presentation and genetic testing. [typeset.io]

Wolcott-Rallison syndrome is a rare disease presenting with insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DM) before 6 months old, skeletal dysplasia after 6 months old, and liver failure. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Thus, true dwarfism may not be present. Atlanto-axial instability may be present, and patients may present with neurologic deficits or symptoms. Scoliosis or thoracic kyphosis with exaggerated lumbar lordosis may develop. [jisppd.com]

  There is usually a short trunk, excessive lordosis, a short and broad chest, and genu valgum. This report presents a case of Wolcott-Rallison syndrome in a 10 year old child. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Regarding vertebrae, changes are especially marked at the dorsolumbar level with a consequent appearance of thoracic kyphosis and/or lumbar lordosis. Difficulty in walking is frequent. [journals.lww.com]

  Skeletal survey revealed epiphyseal dysplasia involving proximal and distal femoral epiphysis and proximal tibial epiphysis, generalized osteoporosis, thoracic kyphosis and lumbar lordosis and mild platyspondyly. [degruyter.com]

• Arthralgia

  Affected individuals also experience early onset pain and stiffness in affected joints (early-onset arthritis) that can develop in chronic joint pain (arthralgia) and damage to the joints. The hips and the knees are commonly affected. [rarediseases.org]

• Neonatal Onset

  Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS) is an autosomal recessive disease, characterized by neonatal or early-onset non-autoimmune insulin-dependent diabetes. WRS, although rare, is recognized to be the most frequent cause of neonatal-onset diabetes. [squ.pure.elsevier.com]

  Neonatal-onset disease manifests within hours to two days after birth. Childhood-onset disease manifests during the first months or years of life. [endo-ern.eu]

  Wolcott-Rallison syndrome (WRS) is a rare autosomal recessive disease, characterized by non-autoimmune permanent neonatal or early-onset diabetes mellitus (PNDM).1 WRS, although rare, is the most frequent cause of PNDM2 especially in consanguineous families [omjournal.org]

• Renal Insufficiency

  Some patients of WRS may develop central hypothyroidism, hepatic dysfunction, renal insufficiency or central nervous system abnormalities2,3. This is a very rare disorder and, less than 100 cases have been described till 20094. [biocoreopen.org]

  Two sibs with an infantile onset of hyperglycemia, recurrent hepatitis, renal insufficiency, developmental delay, and skeletal epiphyseal dysplasia are described. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  He presented with acute liver and renal insufficiency in addition to skeletal dysplasia and neurodevelopmental retardation. The clinical suspicion of WRS was confirmed by molecular analysis of the EIF2AK3 gene. [degruyter.com]

  Renal insufficiency was not seen in our two patients. [hepatmon.com]

• Kidney Failure

  and often death in childhood from fulminant liver and concomitant kidney failure. [miami.pure.elsevier.com]

  Any drug or vaccine not strictly necessary should be limited, due to the risk of triggering secondary liver and/or kidney failure. [orpha.net]

  She had previously suffered from paracetamol-induced acute liver failure, caused by treatment with normal doses (15 mg kg –1 ), and also developed acute kidney failure that required haemodialysis after appendectomy. [journals.lww.com]

At the age of 2 months, he was admitted to his local hospital due to lethargy and respiratory distress; a workup revealed high sugar and acidosis. [termedia.pl]

Viral and autoimmune causes of acute hepatitis and liver failure were ruled out and immunodeficiency workup was normal. Investigations for metabolic disorders were unremarkable. [omjournal.org]

Clinical Testing and Workup Basic x-rays (radiographs) can help to establish a diagnosis of rMED by revealing abnormal epiphyses, brachydactyly, and a double patella. [rarediseases.org]

Management and treatment Close therapeutic monitoring of diabetes should be considered and treatment with an insulin pump is recommended, especially in the first months of life, due to the risk of acute episodes of hypoglycemia. [orpha.net]

Etiology WRS is caused by mutations in the EIF2AK3 gene encoding eukaryotic translation initiation factor 2-alpha kinase 3 (PKR-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase; PERK), which plays a key role in translation control during unfolded protein response. [orpha.net]

Summary Epidemiology Fewer than 60 cases have been reported to date. Most patients are from consanguineous families. Prevalence may therefore vary significantly between countries.WRS may be underdiagnosed because of early death before diagnosis. [orpha.net]

Although genetic components in these diseases are clearly present, the lack of obvious and homogeneous modes of transmission has slowed progress by prevent ing the full exploitation of classical genetic epidemiologic techniques. [books.google.de]

Epidemiology This is a rare disease, with fewer than 60 cases described in the literature [3, 4]. [go.gale.com]

This is the first case in which the pathophysiological role of EIF2AK3 deficiency in WRS is confirmed at the molecular level. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

This demonstrates that EIF2AK3 gene plays a major role in the pathophysiology of WRS. In addition, EIF2aK3 kinase activity appears to be essential for pancreatic islet cell function and bone development in humans. References 1. [annsaudimed.net]
