We are reporting on 16 children, in 6 unrelated sibships, born to healthy, consanguineous parents of Bedouin ancestry. Eleven of them were assessed clinically. All presented with marked growth retardation, craniofacial anomalies, small hands and feet, hypocalcemia, hypoparathyroidism, radiological evidence of cortical thickening of long bones with medullary stenosis, and absent diploic space in the skull. There was a history of 6 affected sibs dying in infancy with hypocalcemic convulsions. All cases show absence of macrocephaly and early psychomotor retardation. The present cases confirm the presence of clinical variability and co firm autosomal recessive inheritance of Kenny-Caffey syndrome. Am. J. Med. Genet. 69:126–132, 1997. © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase deficiency (MTHFR) is a rare autosomal recessive disorder. There have been 68 cases reported to date in the literature [Eur J Pediatr 1998;157 (Suppl 2):S77]. It affects intracellular folate metabolism and results in homocystinuria and hypomethionemia. We report a family in which three children (two boys and one girl) died before the age of 3 months with severe MTHFR deficiency. A fourth affected boy was treated with betaine and he improved clinically and biochemically. We demonstrate the unique dermatological and brain imaging features in a kindred from Kuwait. 相似文献

Non-Hodgkin lymphomas (NHL) in children are the second most common malignant tumors in Kuwait. Until 1995 the patients (pts) received institutional protocols. From October 1995 to September 2000 21 children with NHL were treated. Five children were treated by NHL BFM 90 protocol, 7 pts received NHL BFM 95 scheme, and 9 children underwent therapy abroad or according to different types of protocols. The results of a retrospective analysis of NHL BFM 95 protocol in Kuwait are reported. Seven patients diagnosed with NHL--group B: 3 children with Burkitt lymphoma (B-cell NHL) and group A: 4 children with lymphoblastic lymphoma (T-cell NHL)--were treated from October 1995 to September 2000 in the Kuwait Cancer Control Centre according to NHL BFM 95 protocol. Group B consisted of 2 girls and 1 boy; median age at diagnosis was 4 years 8 months, 2 pts classified as stage II and 1 pt as stage III. All patients were assigned to risk group R2. Median follow-up is 2 years 8 months. Group A included 1 girl and 3 boys; median age at diagnosis was 5 years 8 months, 1 pt classified as stage III and 3 pts as stage IV. All patients were assigned to IR group. Median follow-up is 3 years 6 months. In group B all 3 pts are in 1st CR; in group A 3 pts are in 1st CR and 1 pt having Li-Fraumani syndrome died after the 3rd relapse of disease during therapy. In both groups there was no toxic death, myelotoxicity WHO grade III-IV, hepatotoxicity WHO grade II-III. Treatment results of NHL BFM 95 study in our small group of patients are very optimistic. Six patients are in 1st CR and one died due to progression of disease. Despite the small group of patients, the results suggest that NHL BFM 95 protocol is highly effective and safe with regular supportive care. 相似文献

We describe a Bedouin boy with multiple congenital anomalies/mental retardation (MCA/MR). He has frontal bossing, ridged metopic suture, bilateral ptosis, right squint, depressed nasal bridge, small nose, anteverted nostrils, lobulated tongue, polydactyly of both hands, microphallus, hypoplastic scrotum, microtestes, dysgenesis of corpus callosum, and a Dandy-Walker variant. This phenotype overlaps both the Varadi-Papp syndrome (OFD VI) and Opitz trigonocephaly (C syndrome). This phenotypic overlap is discussed in light of the concept of splitting and lumping in genetic diseases. Am. J. Med. Genet. 68:54–57, 1997 © 1997 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

We report four sibs with Kenny-Caffey syndrome in a consanguineous Bedouin family. The first two died in the neonatal period while the remaining affected brother and sister had all the characteristic clinical, biochemical, and radiological abnormalities of the syndrome. These included severe pre- and postnatal growth retardation, cortical thickening of the tubular bones with medullary stenosis, eye abnormalities, facial dysmorphism, hypocalcaemia, and low levels of parathyroid hormone. The children also showed intracranial calcification, impaired neutrophil phagocytosis, increased proportion of B lymphocytes, reduced CD4 and CD8 subpopulations of T lymphocytes, and inhibited transformation in response to Candida antigen. Fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) was applied to blood lymphocyte metaphase spreads from these two Bedouin sibs and their parents using probe D22S75 (Oncor), specific for the DiGeorge critical region on chromosome 22q11.2. The presence of 22q11.2 haploinsufficiency was identified in the affected sibs, which was transmitted from the phenotypically normal mother. The present report widens the spectrum of CATCH 22 microdeletion to accommodate Kenny-Caffey syndrome. 相似文献
