A form of familial primary hypomagnesaemia (FPH) characterised by renal magnesium (Mg) and calcium (Ca) wasting, nephrocalcinosis, kidney failure and, in some cases, severe ocular impairment. Two subtypes are described: with severe ocular involvement and without severe ocular involvement. The median age of onset ranges from 1 to 8 years. The disease is caused by mutations in the genes CLDN16 (3q28) and CLDN19 (1p34.2), encoding claudin-16 and claudin-19 respectively. Transmission is autosomal recessive. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A form of familial primary hypomagnesaemia characterised by low serum magnesium values but inappropriate normal urinary magnesium values (i.e. renal hypomagnaesemia). The typical symptoms are weakness of the limbs, vertigo, headaches, seizures, brisk tendon reflexes and mild to moderate psychomotor delay. Less than 20 cases have been described in the literature. Caused by mutations in either CNNM2 (10q23.32) or EGF (4q25). CNNM2 encodes cyclin M2, a ubiquitous protein, predominantly expressed in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop and in the renal distal convoluted tubule where it is thought to contribute to a magnesium-sensing mechanism.

A form of functioning pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor characterized most commonly by a solitary, small pancreatic lesion that causes hyperinsulinemic hypoglycemia. Insulinoma can present at any age but the median age of diagnosis is in the fifth decade of life. Insulinoma is malignant in only 7-10% of cases and the most common sites of metastasis are the liver and lymph nodes. The etiology is unknown in most sporadic cases but somatic YY1 (14q32.2) variants are associated with insulinoma in some cases. Insulinoma originates in the islet beta cells that are equally distributed throughout the pancreas. When functioning, the tumor manifests with hypersecretion of insulin and consequently causes hypoglycemia. With the exception of insulinoma in MEN1, insulinoma is not hereditary. Concept non-current

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.

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.

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 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 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 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 hearing loss condition that appears as a consequence of annular ligament destruction followed by excessive connective tissue production during the healing process.

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 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)

In this case, there is a risk of nephrotic syndrome recurrence after kidney transplant. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A highly malignant neoplasm that can occur on the lip, oral cavity, nasal cavity, pharynx, larynx and paranasal sinuses and that accounts for 90% of all head and neck cancers, occurring most frequently in adults between the ages of 40-60. Presents with a variety of manifestations, depending on the primary site, such as voice hoarseness, dysphagia, ulceration of oral mucosa, hearing loss, epistaxis, nasal obstruction and enlargement of a cervical lymph node. Often associated with extensive invasion into surrounding tissues and a rapid metastasis to distant organs. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A histological variant of medulloblastoma, an embryonic malignancy, associated with extremely low survival rates and a high risk of metastatic disease and manifesting with symptoms of increased intracranial pressure such as vomiting, headache, listlessness, papilledema and diplopia.

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 lymphatic system malformation with characteristics of swelling of an extremity that can be associated with other lymphatic effusions, due to an underlying developmental anomaly of the lymphatic system (abnormal lymphangiogenesis). It can be hereditary or not and be congenital or late onset. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A lysosomal storage disease with characteristics of coarse facial features, macular ''cherry red spot'', and dysostosis multiplex. Clinical presentation can be heterogenous ranging from a severe, early-onset, rapidly progressive infantile form to late onset, slowly progressive juvenile/adult form. Erroneous component (foundation metadata concept)
A malformation syndrome with the combination of bilateral coloboma of macula, horizontal pendular nystagmus, severe visual loss and brachydactyly type B. The hand and feet defects comprise shortening of the middle and terminal phalanges of the second to fifth digits, hypoplastic or absent nails, broad or bifid thumbs and halluces, syndactyly and flexion deformities of the joints of some digits. Inherited in a dominant manner. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
