  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]

  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]

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 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]
