Genetics Home Reference : ²⁶ Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome is a type of progeria, which is a group of genetic conditions characterized by the dramatic, rapid appearance of aging earlier in life than expected. Signs and symptoms of Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome begin before birth. Affected individuals do not grow and gain weight at the expected rate before and after birth. People with this condition have distinctive facial features that give the appearance of old age. They often have a large head, a triangular face with a prominent forehead and pointed chin, a small mouth with a thin upper lip, low-set ears, and abnormal lower eyelids. In most affected individuals, the middle of the face looks as though it has been drawn inward (midface retraction). On the head, hair is sparse and the veins stand out. Also contributing to the appearance of aging is a lack of fatty tissue under the skin (lipodystrophy), particularly in the face, arms, and legs. In addition, the skin is thin and translucent. Some affected individuals develop joint abnormalities called contractures that can limit movement.

MalaCards based summary : Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch Syndrome, also known as neonatal pseudo-hydrocephalic progeroid syndrome, is related to marfanoid-progeroid-lipodystrophy syndrome and aging, and has symptoms including action tremor and ataxia, truncal. An important gene associated with Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch Syndrome is POLR3A (RNA Polymerase III Subunit A), and among its related pathways/superpathways are FGF signaling pathway and Transcription_Role of VDR in regulation of genes involved in osteoporosis. Affiliated tissues include skin, bone and eye, and related phenotypes are malar flattening and hypertelorism

NIH Rare Diseases : ⁵⁴ Neonatal progeroid syndrome is a rare genetic syndrome characterized by an aged appearance at birth. Other signs and symptoms include intrauterine growth restriction, feeding difficulties, distinctive craniofacial features, hypotonia, developmental delay and mild to severe intellectual disability. In most cases, affected infants pass away before age 7 months, but rare reports exist of survival into the teens or early 20s. Although the exact underlying cause of neonatal progeroid syndrome is unknown, it is likely a genetic condition that is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner. Treatment is symptomatic and supportive.

OMIM : ⁵⁸ Wiedemann-Rautenstrauch syndrome (WDRTS) is a rare autosomal recessive neonatal progeroid disorder characterized by intrauterine growth retardation, failure to thrive, short stature, a progeroid appearance, hypotonia, and variable mental impairment (summary by Toriello, 1990). Average survival in WDRTS is 7 months, although survival into the third decade of life has been reported (Akawi et al., 2013). (264090)
