A generalized onset seizure type with a myoclonic jerk leading to an atonic motor component. This type was previously called myoclonic–astatic. A seizure originating at some point within, and rapidly engaging, bilaterally distributed networks. Nonconformance to editorial policy component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic disorder with characteristics of formation of bullae without traumatic origin, alopecia, hyperpigmentation, acrocyanosis, short stature, microcephaly, intellectual deficit, tapering fingers and nail abnormalities. Two families (one of whom was Dutch and the other Italian) have been described up to now, in which only males were affected. Transmission is X-linked recessive. The bullous dystrophy locus has been mapped to Xq26.3 in the Italian family and to Xq27.3 in the Dutch family. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic disorder with characteristics of intellectual disability, childhood hypotonia, severe expressive speech delay and a distinctive facial appearance with a spectrum of additional clinical features. The syndrome is caused by either a point mutation in the euchromatic histone-lysine N-methyltransferase 1 (EHMT1) gene (rarely) or by a microdeletion in the chromosome region 9q34.3 (seen in more than 85% of cases), leading to the loss of the entire gene. This gene encodes an enzyme that modifies histone function and is essential for normal development. Larger deletions (greater than 1mb) are associated with more severe symptoms. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic disorder with characteristics of the appearance of numerous cysts spread throughout the liver. Women are predominantly affected and have a larger number of cysts than affected males. Cysts are undetectable early in life and usually appear after the age of 40 years. Their number and size increases with age. Symptoms depend on the mass (compression effect) some patients are asymptomatic. Liver function is usually normal. There is no portal hypertension. Extrahepatic manifestations are very rare and may include intracranial aneurysms (usually small sized and at a low risk of rupture) and mitral leaflet abnormalities. Liver cysts result from overgrowth of biliary epithelium or from dilatation of peribiliary glands. Some cases occur sporadically, but most are inherited as an autosomal dominant trait. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic epilepsy of childhood with characteristics of drug-resistant seizures often induced by fever, presenting in previously healthy children, and which frequently leads to cognitive and motor impairment. Seizures can regress in adulthood but most patients have ongoing seizures that are refractory to medication. Around 85% of cases are due to a mutation or deletion in the SCN1A gene (2q24.3), encoding a voltage-gated sodium channel essential for the excitability of neurons. In families with a known SCN1A mutation, inheritance is autosomal dominant. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic epileptic syndrome characterised by the occurrence of afebrile repeated seizures in healthy infants, between the third and eighth month of life with clusters (8-10 a day) of repeated and brief episodes (2-5 minutes) over a few days. They are usually focal but can sometimes become generalised. A family history of the same epilepsy is a constant finding. The disease is genetically heterogeneous, in the majority of cases, mutations in the proline-rich transmembrane protein 2 (PRRT2) gene located at 16p11.2 have been found. Mutations have also been found in the SCN2A gene (2q24.3) encoding the brain sodium channel NaV1.2 and rarely in the KCNQ2 (20q13.33) and KCNQ3 (8q24) genes both encoding potassium channels. Additionally, three other chromosomal loci have been identified that are mapped to chromosome 19q, 16p and 1p. Transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait with incomplete penetrance.

A genetic macular dystrophy with characteristics of loss of central visual acuity, metamorphopsia and a decrease in the Arden ratio secondary to an egg yolk-like lesion located in the foveal or parafoveal region. Onset is in childhood and sometimes in later teenage years (5-13 years). Affected individuals have normal vision at birth. The disease then progresses through distinct stages and has characteristics of atrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium (RPE) affecting photoreceptors with impaired central visual function. In most cases, the disease is caused by mutations in BEST1 (11q12), encoding for bestrophin-1, a chloride channel expressed in RPE. A defect in this protein leads to accumulation of lipofuscin secondary to abnormal ion exchange. Inherited in an autosomal dominant manner with complete penetrance. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic neurodegenerative disease with normal early development followed by childhood onset optic atrophy with progressive vision loss and eventually blindness, followed by progressive neurological decline that typically includes cerebellar ataxia, nystagmus, dorsal column dysfunction (decreased vibration and position sense), spastic paraplegia and finally tetraparesis. There is evidence this disease is caused by homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in the UCHL1 gene on chromosome 4p13. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic non-syndromic congenital malformation of the neurenteric canal, spinal cord and column characterised by progressive neurologic deterioration (pain, sensorimotor deficits, abnormal gait, decreased tone or abnormal reflexes), musculoskeletal changes (foot deformities and asymmetry, muscle atrophy, limb weakness and numbness, gait disturbances, scoliosis) and/or genitourinary manifestations (bladder and bowel dysfunction). Midline cutaneous stigmata in the lumbosacral region, such as turfs of hair, skin appendages, dimples, subcutaneous lipomas, skin discolouration or haemangiomas, are frequently associated.

A genetic transmission deafness syndrome. The profound congenital deafness is associated with a complete absence of inner ear structures (Michel aplasia) microtia type I with small auricle and narrow external auditory canal and microdontia with widely spaced teeth. Linkage analysis followed by sequencing of candidate genes led to identification of three different homozygous mutations in the FGF3 gene (11q13). Transmission is autosomal recessive. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic variant of Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease with characteristics of mild bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) infections and recurrent Salmonella infections. The prevalence is unknown. The disease presents in early childhood. BCG is the most common infection encountered, usually after receiving the vaccination. Non-typhoidal Salmonella infections are also seen in half of all cases. Caused by homozygous mutations in the IL12B gene on chromosome 5q31.1-q33.1 which encodes for the IL-12p40 subunit. There are 9 different IL12B mutant alleles identified, including 2 small insertions, 3 small deletions, 2 splice site mutations, 1 large deletion and 1 nonsense mutation. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic variant of Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases with characteristics of a complete deficiency in interferon gamma receptor 1(IFN-gammaR1), leading to impaired IFN-gamma immunity and, consequently, to severe and often fatal infections with bacillus Calmette-Guérin and other environmental mycobacteria. Infection is disseminated and can involve soft tissue, bone marrow, lungs, skin, bones and lymph nodes. Manifestations include fever, weight loss, hepatosplenomegaly, lymphadenopathies and lepromatous-like lesions. Caused by complete IFN-gammaR1 deficiency due to mutations in the IFNGR1 gene on chromosome 6q23-q24. Transmission is autosomal recessive. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic variant of Mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases with characteristics of mild bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) infections and recurrent Salmonella infections. The prevalence is unknown. Over 140 cases have been reported in the world. Disease onset usually occurs in patients before the age of 12 with the appearance of BCG disease, usually after receiving the vaccination. Over half of patients with this variant experience an additional infection with non-typhoidal Salmonella. Caused by mutations in the IL12RB1 gene (19p13.1) subunit that encodes for the IL-12R-beta1 chain. These mutations impair the IL-12/IL-23 pathway essential for production of IFN-beta and the resulting immunity against Salmonella and BCG infections. Inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic variant of Mendelian susceptibly to mycobacterial disease with characteristics of a complete deficiency in interferon gamma receptor 2, leading to an undetectable response to interferon gamma and consequently to severe and often fatal infections with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and other environmental mycobacteria. The prevalence is unknown. Only ten children have been identified to date. This disease is caused by mutations in IFNGR2 on chromosome 21q22.1-22.2 which encodes the IFN-gamma receptor signal transducing chain, essential for IFN-gamma mediated immunity. Two clinically indistinguishable forms have been reportedly defined by the presence or absence of protein expression on the cell surface. Erroneous component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic variant of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease with characteristics of a partial defect in the interferon (IFN)-gamma pathway, leading to mild mycobacterial infections. The prevalence is unknown. First infections occur after the age of 3. Clinical penetrance is incomplete and some patients are asymptomatic while others have very mild clinical manifestations. Caused by heterozygous mutations in the STAT1 gene on chromosome 2q32.2-q32.3 encoding the signal transducer and activator of transcription 1. Two distinct forms have been described: one affecting phosphorylation and the other impairing DNA-binding activity. Transmission is autosomal dominant. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic variant of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease with characteristics of a partial deficiency leading to impaired IFN-gamma immunity and consequently recurrent moderately severe infections with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and other environmental mycobacteria. Caused by heterozygous mutations in the IFNGR1 gene on chromosome 6q23-q24 that encodes the IFN-gamma receptor ligand binding chain. Microdeletion 818del4 is by far the most common mutation and it corresponds to the first documented hotspot for a microdeletion in the human genome. It leads to the expression of IFN-gamma receptor on the cell surface with no signal transduction and therefore patients only show a partial response to IFN-gamma. Transmission is autosomal dominant. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic variant of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial disease with characteristics of partial deficiency in IFN-gammaR2, leading to impaired response to IFN-gamma and consequently to recurrent moderately severe infections with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and other environmental mycobacteria. Caused by a heterozygous mutation in the IFNGR2 gene on chromosome 21q22.1-22.2 that encodes the IFN-gamma receptor ligand binding chain 2. The 186delC mutation corresponds to the first mutation conferring an AD partial IFN-gammaR2 deficiency. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic variant of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMD) with characteristics of a partial deficiency in IFN-gammaR1, leading to a residual response to IFN-gamma and, consequently, to recurrent, moderately severe infections with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and other environmental mycobacteria. These infections are recurrent but less severe than those seen in MSMD due to complete IFN-gammaR1 and IFN-gammaR2 deficiencies. Caused by homozygous mutations in the IFNGR1 gene on chromosome 6q23-q24 that encodes the IFN-gamma receptor ligand binding chain. The most common mutation is, by far, I87T. This mutation leads to the expression of IFN-gamma receptors on the cell surface with no signal transduction capacity and they therefore only show a partial response to IFN-gamma. Transmission is autosomal recessive. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic variant of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases (MSMD) with characteristics of a partial deficiency in IFN-gammaR2, leading to a residual response to IFN-gamma and consequently to recurrent, moderately severe infections with bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) and other environmental mycobacteria. Only one patient has been reported with this variant to date. Caused by a homozygous mutation (R114C) in IFNGR2 on chromosome 21q22.1-22.2 that encodes the IFN-gamma receptor ligand binding chain. This mutation leads to a residual cellular response to IFN-gamma in terms of IL12p40 production. Transmission is autosomal recessive. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A genetic variant of mendelian susceptibility to mycobacterial diseases characterised by Bacille Calmette-Guerin (BCG) infections. The prevalence is unknown. Caused by mutations in the ISG15 gene (1p36.33), which encodes an IFN-alpha/beta inducible, ubiquitin-like intracellular protein. These mutations impair ISG15 secretion by leucocytes, a molecule which plays an essential role as an IFN-gamma-inducing secreted molecule needed for optimal antimycobacterial immunity. Inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)

A genodermatosis with characteristics of the presence of multiple hamartomas of the hair follicle. It has been described in one family so far. Concept non-current
A glomerular disease with characteristics of severe renal failure and nephrotic syndrome at birth, which rapidly improves in the first weeks of life. The disorder has been described in 15 infants from 5 families originating from Portugal, the Netherlands, Italy, Germany and Morocco. The disease is a congenital disorder where infants present at birth with nephrotic syndrome, acute renal failure (oligoanuria and proteinuria), or both. Respiratory distress and hypertension are also observed during the first days of life. Some degree of dysmorphism may be observed in some cases. Mothers do not show any renal manifestations. Caused by the transplacental transfer of nephritogenic anti-NEP antibodies (IgG1, IgG4 subtypes) from mothers with truncating mutations of the MME gene (3q25.2; coding for NEP), resulting in a functional knockout of MME.

A group of anomalies that may result from maternal infection and subsequent fetal infection with the Herpes virus. The virus causes recurrent cutaneous infections in adults, often involving the lips or the genitalia. Herpes infections in other organs, such as the liver or central nervous system, are less frequent. Pregnancy complications including preterm delivery, intrauterine growth retardation, and neonatal infection have been attributed to the Herpes virus. Exposure of the fetus to Herpes virus at the time of delivery carries a serious risk of infection for the newborn. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)

A group of rare central nervous system malformations with characteristics of varying degrees of absence or dysplasia of the derivatives of the prosencephalon (i.e. telencephalon and diencephalon), with an intact cranial vault. The spectrum comprises atelencephaly, the less severe form, in which only the telencephalon is affected, and aprosencephaly, where the diencephalon is also involved. The malformations may occur in an isolated form or in association with other anomalies. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A group of rare genetic developmental defect during embryogenesis disorders with the association of sensorineural deafness and onychodystrophy (for example absent/hypoplastic finger and toenails) as well as brachydactyly and finger-like thumbs. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A group of rare genetic neurodegenerative diseases with characteristics of infancy to childhood onset of progressive spastic paraplegia (with delayed motor milestones, gait disturbances, hyperreflexia and extensor plantar responses), optic atrophy (which may be accompanied by nystagmus and visual loss) and progressive peripheral neuropathy (with sensory impairment and distal muscle weakness/atrophy in upper and lower extremities). Additional signs may include foot deformities, spinal defects (scoliosis, kyphosis), joint contractures, exaggerated startle response, speech disorders, hyperhidrosis, extrapyramidal signs and intellectual disability. In very rare cases, a variant phenotype with less prominent or absent optic atrophy and/or neuropathy may be observed. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A group of symptoms which may be observed in the fetus or newborn when the mother has taken indomethacin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug during pregnancy. The drug crosses the human placenta readily throughout gestation, but its effects on the embryo/fetus vary according to the stage of pregnancy. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A group of tyrosine related oculocutaneous albinism (OCA1) that includes OCA1A, OCA1B, type 1 minimal pigment oculocutaneous albinism (OCA1-MP) and type 1 temperature sensitive oculocutaneous albinism (OCA1-TS). The phenotypic spectrum seen in OCA1 is variable. Pigmentation present in the skin, hair and eyes can range from little or none to pigmentation only to the peripheries. Findings of nystagmus, photophobia and reduced visual acuity are often present. The disease is caused by a mutation in the TYR gene located on chromosome 11q14.3 encoding tyrosinase. Mutations in OCA1A and OCA1B lead to a total or partial loss of the catalytic activity of tyrosinase while those in OCA1-MP and OCA1-TS lead to minimal activity or temperature sensitive tyrosinase proteins. The different forms of OCA1 are all transmitted autosomal recessively. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A haematological neoplasm characterised by clonal proliferation of myeloid precursors in the bone marrow, blood and other tissues (spleen, liver), with clinical, morphological and molecular features of myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN), failing to meet criteria of a specific MPN. The presentation is nonspecific and variable and often includes leukocytosis, thrombocytosis and anaemia. Splenomegaly, hepatomegaly as well as fatigue, malaise or weight loss may appear in advanced stages. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A hand-foot malformation with characteristics of triphalangeal thumbs and pre and postaxial polydactyly, isolated syndactyly or complex polysyndactyly. It has been described in some large pedigrees. Clinical presentation is variable within families, ranging from mild to severe. Malformations of the feet are usually less severe than those of the hands. Caused by duplication encompassing the limb-specific regulatory element (ZRS) of sonic hedgehog SHH, which lies in intron 5 of the limb region 1 homolog gene, LMBR1 (7q36). This syndrome is transmitted in an autosomal dominant manner with complete penetrance and variable expression. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)

A hereditary cancer syndrome characterised by a predisposition to cutaneous and uterine leiomyomas and, in some families, to renal cell cancer. Disease onset can occur at any age, but is more common in young adults and elderly patients. Multiple or single benign cutaneous leiomyomas are common. Uterine leiomyomas (present in 77% of women with HLRCC), also known as fibroids, usually appear around the age of 30. Caused by a mutation in the FH gene (1q42.1) encoding the enzyme fumarate hydratase (FH) that metabolises the fumarate produced during the purine nucleotide cycle and arginine synthesis in the cytoplasm. Mode of inheritance is autosomal dominant. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)

A hereditary neurological disorder with characteristics of excessive startle responses. The disease manifests shortly after birth with violent jerking to noise and touch, and massive and sustained stiffening of the trunk and limbs, clenching fists, and attacks of a high frequency trembling. Motor milestones are often mildly delayed, but intellectual development is usually normal. Mutations in the GLRA1 gene (5q32) are found in about 30% of patients. These mutations are transmitted as an autosomal dominant or recessive trait. The GLRA1 gene encodes the alpha1 subunit of the juvenile neuronal receptor for the inhibitory neurotransmitter, glycine. Mutations of this subunit cause a variety of dysfunctions of the neuronal chloride (Cl-) channel. Mutations in the GLRB, GPHN and SLC6A5 genes (4q31.3, 14q24 and 11p15.2-p15.1) have also been observed. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A hereditary neurological disorder with early and severe involvement of both the peripheral and central nervous systems. It has only been described in Finnish families.

A heterogeneous entity. Its prevalence in the general population is unknown. Nephrotic syndrome has manifestations of marked proteinuria, with reduced plasmatic levels of albumin, and potentially with edema. Familial forms are in most cases related to podocyte protein structural anomalies. Other forms result from a totally different mechanism, which has not yet been elucidated. One of the proposed hypotheses suggests that cells from the immune system could produce one or several circulating factors, which would increase the glomerular permeability to proteins. In some cases, immunosuppressive drugs, in particular cyclosporin, can prove beneficial. However, the progression to end-stage renal failure is frequent. In this case, there is a risk of nephrotic syndrome recurrence after kidney transplant. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)

A kyphotic deformity of the spine that develops in adolescence. The spinal deformity includes irregularities of the vertebral endplates, the presence of Schmorl's nodes, disc-space narrowing and vertebral wedging. The disease is diagnosed using lateral radiographs of the spine. The thoracic spine is most often affected, but the lumbar spine may also be involved. Analysis of the mode of inheritance in a sample of 90 pedigrees derived from the Siberian population supported an autosomal dominant mode of inheritance with complete penetrance in boys and incomplete penetrance in girls.

A large or giant congenital melanocytic naevus (LCMN or GCMN) is a pigmented skin lesion of more than 20 cm - or 40 cm- respectively, projected adult diameter, composed of melanocytes and presenting with an elevated risk of malignant transformation. An LCMN is a darkly coloured, circumscribed area of the skin sometimes covered with dense hair or proliferative nodules, and/or accompanied by multiple small satellite naevi that develop at birth or during early childhood (tardive satellites). Patients with LCMN also present an elevated risk of malignant paediatric melanoma, particularly intracranial, and other neuroectodermal tumours of varying severity. LCMN is a neurocristopathy (a disorder of the development of the embryonic neural crest) but its aetiology is unknown. Familial cases have been observed, but the vast majority of LCMN cases are sporadic. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)

A life-threatening disorder, believed to be a cardiovascular clinical variant manifestation of Behcet disease, with the association of multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms and peripheral venous thrombosis. Prevalence is unknown but fewer than 30 cases have been reported in the literature since its first description in 1959 by Hughes and Stovin. Patients (mostly men aged 12-40 years) generally present with the nonspecific signs of pulmonary artery aneurysms, following a history of peripheral venous thrombosis. Other associated signs may include fever and intracranial hypertension. Aneurysms can occur anywhere in the systemic circulation. Recurrent phlebitis also commonly involves the large vessels, resulting in thrombus formation. In general, there is a predisposition for thrombus formation affecting the peripheral veins. It is assumed the disease is a form of vasculitis following a similar mechanism of pathogenesis to that thought to be involved in Behcet disease. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A life-threatening multi organ disorder which develops in the first months of life, presenting with respiratory distress and proteinuria in the nephrotic range, and leading to severe interstitial lung disease and renal failure. Some patients additionally display cutaneous alterations, ranging from blistering and skin erosions to an epidermolysis bullosa-like phenotype, with toe nail dystrophy and sparse hair. There is evidence this disease is caused by homozygous mutation in the ITGA3 gene on chromosome 17q21. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)

A lysosomal storage disease belonging to the group of sphingolipidoses. It is very rare with less than 10 cases reported in the literature so far. Clinically, it is a severe neurovisceral disease manifesting immediately after birth and following a rapidly progressive fatal course. The neurological signs and symptoms include hypotonia, massive myoclonic bursts, abnormal ocular movements and dystonia. Grand mal seizures and seizures triggered by tactile stimuli have been described. Patients also develop hepatosplenomegaly. Death usually occurs from respiratory failure following repeated pulmonary infections. The disease is caused by mutations in the PSAP gene (10q21) leading to absence or non-functionality of the prosaposin protein. The mode of inheritance is autosomal recessive.

Grammatical description error (foundation metadata concept)
A lysosomal storage disease with clinical characteristics of psychomotor retardation and visual abnormalities including corneal clouding, retinal degeneration or strabismus. The disease is rare in the general population but is more prevalent among Ashkenazi Jews. First signs appear during the first year of life or later, but clinical progression is usually slow. In this disease phospholipids, gangliosides and mucopolysaccharides accumulate in lysosomal inclusions, some of which resemble membranous cytoplasmic bodies found in gangliosidoses. The condition seems to be caused by anomalies in the endocytosis of membrane components towards the lysosomes. The causative gene, MCOLN1, is located in the 19p13.3-p13.2 region and encodes mucolipin-1 (MLN1), a membrane protein from the transient receptor potential (TRP) channel family. The disease is transmitted as an autosomal recessive trait. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A lysosomal storage disease, belonging to the group of oligosaccharidosis or with a wide clinical spectrum that is divided into two main clinical subtypes: sialidosis type I, the milder, non dysmorphic form of the disease with characteristics of gait abnormalities, progressive visual loss, bilateral macular cherry red spots and myoclonus, that presents in adolescence or adulthood (second or third decade of life); and sialidosis type II (see this term) the more severe, early onset form, with characteristics of progressive and severe mucopolysaccharidosis-like phenotype with coarse facies, visceromegaly, dysostosis multiplex, and developmental delay. Bilateral macular cherry red spots are also present. Sialidosis type II has been further divided into congenital (with hydrops fetalis), infantile and juvenile presentations.
