OMIM : ⁵⁷ Meckel syndrome, also known as Meckel-Gruber syndrome, is a severe pleiotropic autosomal recessive developmental disorder caused by dysfunction of primary cilia during early embryogenesis. There is extensive clinical variability and controversy as to the minimum diagnostic criteria. Early reports, including that of Opitz and Howe (1969) and Wright et al. (1994), stated that the classic triad of Meckel syndrome comprises (1) cystic renal disease; (2) a central nervous system malformation, most commonly occipital encephalocele; and (3) polydactyly, most often postaxial. However, based on a study of 67 patients, Salonen (1984) concluded that the minimum diagnostic criteria are (1) cystic renal disease; (2) CNS malformation, and (3) hepatic abnormalities, including portal fibrosis or ductal proliferation. In a review of Meckel syndrome, Logan et al. (2011) stated that the classic triad first described by Meckel (1822) included occipital encephalocele, cystic kidneys, and fibrotic changes to the liver.

MalaCards based summary : Meckel Syndrome, Type 1, also known as meckel-gruber syndrome, is related to bardet-biedl syndrome 13 and encephalocele. An important gene associated with Meckel Syndrome, Type 1 is MKS1 (Meckel Syndrome, Type 1), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Regulation of PLK1 Activity at G2/M Transition and Organelle biogenesis and maintenance. Affiliated tissues include kidney, liver and brain, and related phenotypes are hypertelorism and hydrocephalus

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : ⁷⁵ Meckel syndrome 1: A disorder characterized by a combination of renal cysts and variably associated features including developmental anomalies of the central nervous system (typically encephalocele), hepatic ductal dysplasia and cysts, and polydactyly.

NIH Rare Diseases : ⁵³ Meckel syndrome is a very severe disorder that is characterized by multiple cysts on the kidneys, protrusion of a portion of the brain through an opening in the skull (occipital encephalocele), and extra fingers or toes (polydactyly). Affected children may also have abnormalities affecting the head and face, liver, lungs, genitals, and urinary tract. Because of these serious health problems, most infants with Meckel syndrome do not survive for long after birth. Meckel syndrome is caused by mutations in one of eight genes, and it is inherited in an autosomal-recessive manner. 

Genetics Home Reference : ²⁵ Meckel syndrome is a disorder with severe signs and symptoms that affect many parts of the body. The most common features are enlarged kidneys with numerous fluid-filled cysts; an occipital encephalocele, which is a sac-like protrusion of the brain through an opening at the back of the skull; and the presence of extra fingers and toes (polydactyly). Most affected individuals also have a buildup of scar tissue (fibrosis) in the liver.

Disease Ontology : ¹² A ciliopathy that is characterized by renal cystic dysplasia, occipital encephalocele, polydactyly (post axial), hepatic developmental defects, and pulmonary hypoplasia.
