Summaries for Marden-Walker Syndrome

About this section
NIH Rare Diseases : 53 Marden-Walker syndrome (MWS) is a connective tissue disorder characterized by distinctive facial features, a cleft or high-arched palate, a small or receding jaw (micrognathia), fixed bone joints (contractures or arthrogryposis), and growth delay. Symptoms may include a mask-like face with a narrowing of the eye opening (blepharophimosis), low-set ears, failure to thrive and a generalized slowing down of physical reactions, movements, and speech. While the underlying cause of MWS has not been clearly established, it is believed to be a developmental disorder of the central nervous system which is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Mutations in the PIEZO2 gene have been identified in a few individuals with MWS. Although there is no specific treatment or cure for MWS, there are ways to manage the symptoms. A team of doctors or specialists is often needed to figure out the treatment options for each person.

MalaCards based summary : Marden-Walker Syndrome, also known as mws, is related to marfan syndrome and distal arthrogryposis, and has symptoms including seizures An important gene associated with Marden-Walker Syndrome is PIEZO2 (Piezo Type Mechanosensitive Ion Channel Component 2), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Degradation of the extracellular matrix and Elastic fibre formation. Affiliated tissues include kidney, bone and eye, and related phenotypes are low-set ears and pectus excavatum

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 75 Marden-Walker syndrome: A syndrome characterized by a mask-like face with blepharophimosis, micrognathia, cleft or high-arched palate, low-set ears, congenital joint contractures, kyphoscoliosis, pectus excavatum or carinatum, and arachnodactyly. Additional features include decreased muscular mass, failure to thrive, renal anomalies, hypoplastic corpus callosum, cerebellar vermis hypoplasia, enlarged cisterna magna, and psychomotor retardation.
