Summaries for Watson Syndrome

About this section
NIH Rare Diseases : 54 Watson syndrome is believed to be a variant of neurofibromatosis type 1. The symptoms of this condition are pulmonary valvular stenosis, cafe-au-lait spots and short stature. IQ test scores for individuals with Watson syndrome can range between 60-100. Many people with this condition also have a larger than average head size (macrocephaly) and Lisch nodules. While mutations in the NF1 gene have been found in families with Watson syndrome, the exact cause of this condition is unknown. The condition is inherited in an autosomal dominant pattern. Treatment aims at managing the specific symptoms of an individual.

MalaCards based summary : Watson Syndrome, also known as pulmonic stenosis with cafe-au-lait spots, is related to alagille syndrome 1 and alagille syndrome 2. An important gene associated with Watson Syndrome is NF1 (Neurofibromin 1), and among its related pathways/superpathways are Ras signaling pathway and MAPK signaling pathway. Affiliated tissues include testes, and related phenotypes are short stature and abnormality of the cardiovascular system

OMIM : 58 Watson syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by pulmonic stenosis, cafe-au-lait spots, decreased intellectual ability (Watson, 1967), and short stature (Partington et al., 1985). Most affected individuals have relative macrocephaly and Lisch nodules and about one-third of those affected have neurofibroma (Allanson et al., 1991). (193520)

UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot : 76 Watson syndrome: A syndrome characterized by the presence of pulmonary stenosis, cafe- au-lait spots, and mental retardation. It is considered as an atypical form of neurofibromatosis.

Wikipedia : 77 Watson syndrome is an autosomal dominant condition characterized by Lisch nodules of the ocular iris,... more...
