Summaries for Oliver-Mcfarlane Syndrome

About this section
OMIM : 56 Oliver-McFarlane syndrome is a rare congenital disorder characterized by trichomegaly, severe chorioretinal atrophy and multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies, including growth hormone (GH; 139250), gonadotropins (see 118860), and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH; see 118850). Thyroid and GH abnormalities may be present at birth and, if untreated, result in intellectual impairment and profound short stature. Congenital hypogonadism occurs in half of patients, and nearly all have documented hypogonadotropic hypogonadism during puberty, with subsequent reproductive dysfunction. Chorioretinal atrophy is typically noted in the first 5 years of life. Half of reported cases have spinocerebellar involvement, including ataxia, spastic paraplegia, and peripheral neuropathy (summary by Hufnagel et al., 2015). Laurence-Moon syndrome (245800) is an allelic disorder with overlapping features. (275400)

MalaCards based summary : Oliver-Mcfarlane Syndrome, also known as trichomegaly-retina pigmentary degeneration-dwarfism syndrome, is related to trichomegaly and laurence-moon syndrome. An important gene associated with Oliver-Mcfarlane Syndrome is PNPLA6 (Patatin Like Phospholipase Domain Containing 6). The drugs Ibuprofen and Analgesics, Non-Narcotic have been mentioned in the context of this disorder. Affiliated tissues include retina, pituitary and thyroid, and related phenotypes are long eyelashes and sparse hair

Disease Ontology : 12 A syndrome characterized by trichomegaly, severe chorioretinal atrophy and multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies that has material basis in homozygous or compound heterozygous mutation in PNPLA6 on 19p13.2.

NIH Rare Diseases : 52 The following summary is from Orphanet , a European reference portal for information on rare diseases and orphan drugs. Orpha Number: 3363 Definition Trichomegaly-retina pigmentary degeneration-dwarfism syndrome , also known as Oliver-McFarlane syndrome, is an extremely rare genetic disorder characterized by hair abnormalities, severe chorioretinal atrophy, hypopituitarism, short stature , and intellectual disability . Visit the Orphanet disease page for more resources.

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 73 Oliver-McFarlane syndrome: A rare autosomal recessive, congenital syndrome characterized by trichomegaly, severe chorioretinal atrophy and multiple pituitary hormone deficiencies. It results in intellectual impairment and dwarfism, if untreated. Clinical features include hypogonadotropic hypogonadism during puberty, pigmentary retinal degeneration, ataxia, spastic paraplegia, and peripheral neuropathy.
