A severe and rare form of systemic mastocytosis with manifestation of considerable infiltration of mast cells in different tissues. It represents less than 10% of cases of systemic mastocytosis. This disease doesn't usually develop in children. Cutaneous involvement is normally absent. Patients present with severe symptoms related to mast cell invasion and the intense release of mediators including syncope, recurrent flushing, organomegaly and organ dysfunction. The most serious complication is potentially fatal anaphylactic shock.There is evidence of an activating mutation of KIT, usually D816V, in the mast cells of the vast majority of patients. The prognosis is poor with a median survival of 2 to 4 years. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A severe anomaly of bile acid synthesis with manifestation of severe neonatal cholestatic liver disease. To date, only 2 cases of this disorder have been reported. Caused by mutations in the 7-alpha hydroxylase gene (CYP7B1, 8q21.3). The deficiency in oxysterol 7-alpha-hydroxylation leads to the accumulation of hepatotoxic unsaturated monohydroxy bile acids. The mode of transmission is presumed to be autosomal recessive. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A severe deficiency of spermatogenesis. Chromosome Y deletions are a frequent genetic cause of male infertility. The mode of transmission follows a Y-linked pattern, with incomplete penetrance, but as deletions are often associated with infertility, they generally occur de novo. Molecular diagnosis is made by PCR amplification of STS type sequences (sequence-tagged sites) from the AZFa, b, and c regions. All chromosome Y deletions do not necessarily lead to infertility: firstly, some deletions (especially some partial deletions) do not result in spermatogenesis defects; secondly, among men with severe oligospermia, some can father children without infertility treatment. Finally, when mature spermatozoa are found in the sperm or in the testicles, the infertility problem can be solved with medically assisted procreation techniques. However, there is a risk of transmitting the microdeletion to every male infant. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A severe fetal malformation syndrome with characteristics of craniofacial dysmorphic features, central nervous system, cardiac, respiratory tract and limb abnormalities. Mostly present in families of Finnish descent. The syndrome also has characteristics of postaxial and preaxial polydactyly. Caused by mutations in HYLS1 (11q24.2) and KIF7 (15q26.1). Inheritance is autosomal recessive. Stillbirth or neonatal death is the rule, although rare cases with several months’ survival have been reported. Erroneous component (foundation metadata concept)

A severe form of microphthalmia with characteristics of a small eye with a short axial length, severe hyperopia, an elevated lens/eye ratio, and a high incidence of angle-closure glaucoma. Nanophthalmia is generally bilateral. Strabism is present in most patients. Mutations in the MFRP gene (11q23.1) have been found to be responsible for the hereditary form with recessive transmission. Chromosomal anomalies involving chromosome 11p and 2q11-14 have been identified for autosomal dominant forms of nanophthalmia. It may be inherited as an autosomal dominant or recessive trait, or may occur sporadically. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A severe form of nemaline myopathy with characteristics of severe hypotonia with little spontaneous movement in neonates. Neonates have sucking and swallowing difficulties, and gastroesophageal reflux, which leads to failure to thrive. Involvement of diaphragm and intercostal muscles contributes to respiratory insufficiency. Cardiomyopathy and arthrogryposis may occur. The ACTA1 (1q42.13) and NEB (2q22) genes are associated with this form of the disease. Transmission is autosomal recessive or occurs sporadically. Survival after infancy is rare.

A solid single-dose form consisting of a suitable absorbent material. Pledgets are intended for insertion into a body or application to a body surface. Concept non-current
A speciality of medicine focused on restoring health and functional abilities after acute illness or injury. Concept non-current
A spectrum of genitourinary malformations ranging in severity from epispadias and classical bladder exstrophy to exstrophy of the cloaca as the most severe form. Depending on severity, the disorder may involve the urinary system, the musculoskeletal system, the pelvis, the pelvic floor, the abdominal wall, the genitalia and sometimes the spine and the anus. The underlying cause remains unknown, rare cases of familial occurrence have been reported and both genetic and environmental factors are likely to play a role.

A subtype of autosomal dominant limb-girdle muscular dystrophy with characteristics of slowly progressive proximal muscular weakness initially affecting the lower limbs (and later involving the upper limbs), hypotrophy of upper and lower limb-girdle muscles, hyporeflexia, calf hypertrophy, and increased serum creatine kinase. There is no involvement of oculo-facial-bulbar muscles and cardiac muscle. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A subtype of autosomal recessive limb girdle muscular dystrophy with characteristics of childhood onset of severe, progressive, proximal skeletal muscle weakness and atrophy of the upper and lower limbs with later involvement of distal muscles and development of severe quadriparesis, calf hypertrophy, triangular tongue and dilated cardiomyopathy. Skeletal muscles undergo diffuse, bilateral, symmetric and severe atrophy with fat infiltration. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A subtype of junctional epidermolysis bullosa (JEB) with characteristics of skin and mucosal blistering, nail dystrophy or nail absence and enamel hypoplasia. Postinflammatory hypopigmentation or dyspigmentation may be striking in some patients. A generalised subtype with atrophic scarring and more extensive extracutaneous involvement has been described as well as a milder localised subtype. Caused by mutations in the COL17A1 (10q24.3) and LAMA3 (18q11.2), LAMB3 (1q32) and LAMC2 (1q25-q31) genes. The condition follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance.

A subtype of junctional epidermolysis bullosa the condition occurs in childhood or young adulthood. 22 patients in 12 families have been reported to date. Blistering occurs at first around nails, accompanied by nail dystrophy and shedding, and then affects the hands and feet and, to a lesser extent, the elbows, knees, along with atrophic scarring. Other manifestations include disappearance of dermatoglyphs and palmoplantar hyperhidrosis. Extracutaneous involvement is restricted to soft tissue abnormalities of the oral cavity and enamel defects with development of caries. COL17A1 mutations have recently been described in an affected family. The condition follows an autosomal recessive pattern of inheritance. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
A subtype of myelodysplastic syndrome with atypical features of uncertain clinical significance. The term MDS-U (unclassifiable myelodysplastic syndrome) covers cases that cannot be allocated to another subtype of myelodysplastic syndrome after a full diagnostic work-up has been performed including clinical, morphologic, immunophenotypic or cytogenetic testing. One or more cytopenias are a standard feature of MDS-U but other clinical features are variable. The following cases are considered to fall into this subtype: features of refractory cytopenia with uni or multi-lineage dysplasia but with 1% blasts in peripheral blood, unilineage dysplasia with pancytopenia and persistent cytopenia without morphological features of MDS associated with characteristic cytogenetic abnormalities. The aetiology is not known but is thought to involve inherited susceptibility or haematopoietic stem cell damage. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)

A suprabasal subtype of epidermolysis bullosa simplex characterised by generalised oozing erosions, usually in the absence of blisters. Onset of the disease is at birth. Extracutaneous involvement is always present, involving erosions of the soft tissues of the oral cavity and gastrointestinal, genitourinary and respiratory tract abnormalities. The disease is due to mutations in the DSP (6p24) gene encoding desmoplakin. Transmission is autosomal recessive. Outdated component (foundation metadata concept)
