Neurogenic scapuloperoneal syndrome, Kaeser type(SCPNK)

MedGen UID:
356670
Concept ID:
C1867005
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Kaeser syndrome; Scapuloperoneal syndrome, neurogenic type, of Kaeser; SCPNK; Stark-Kaeser syndrome
SNOMED CT: Stark Kaeser syndrome (1208615009); Kaeser syndrome (1208615009); Neurogenic scapuloperoneal syndrome Kaeser type (1208615009)
Modes of inheritance:
Autosomal dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
141047
Concept ID:
C0443147
Intellectual Product
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for traits related to a gene encoded on one of the autosomes (i.e., the human chromosomes 1-22) in which a trait manifests in heterozygotes. In the context of medical genetics, an autosomal dominant disorder is caused when a single copy of the mutant allele is present. Males and females are affected equally, and can both transmit the disorder with a risk of 50% for each child of inheriting the mutant allele.

Definition

A rare genetic neuromuscular disease with characteristics of adult-onset muscle weakness and atrophy in a scapuloperoneal distribution, mild involvement of the facial muscles, dysphagia, and gynaecomastia. Elevated serum CK levels and mixed myopathic and neurogenic abnormalities are associated clinical findings. Caused by heterozygous mutation in the DES gene on chromosome 2q35. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Clinical features

From HPO
Clubfoot
MedGen UID:
3130
Concept ID:
C0009081
Congenital Abnormality
Clubfoot is a congenital limb deformity defined as fixation of the foot in cavus, adductus, varus, and equinus (i.e., inclined inwards, axially rotated outwards, and pointing downwards) with concomitant soft tissue abnormalities (Cardy et al., 2007). Clubfoot may occur in isolation or as part of a syndrome (e.g., diastrophic dysplasia, 222600). Clubfoot has been reported with deficiency of long bones and mirror-image polydactyly (Gurnett et al., 2008; Klopocki et al., 2012).
Shoulder girdle muscle atrophy
MedGen UID:
339837
Concept ID:
C1847766
Finding
Amyotrophy affecting the muscles of the shoulder girdle.
Foot dorsiflexor weakness
MedGen UID:
356163
Concept ID:
C1866141
Finding
Weakness of the muscles responsible for dorsiflexion of the foot, that is, of the movement of the toes towards the shin. The foot dorsiflexors include the tibialis anterior, the extensor hallucis longus, the extensor digitorum longus, and the peroneus tertius muscles.
Dysphagia
MedGen UID:
41440
Concept ID:
C0011168
Disease or Syndrome
Difficulty in swallowing.
Weakness of facial musculature
MedGen UID:
98103
Concept ID:
C0427055
Disease or Syndrome
Reduced strength of one or more muscles innervated by the facial nerve (the seventh cranial nerve).
Peroneal muscle atrophy
MedGen UID:
810815
Concept ID:
C1389118
Disease or Syndrome
Atrophy of the peroneous muscles, peroneus longus (also known as Fibularis longus), Peroneus brevis (also known as fibularis brevis, and Peroneus tertius (also known as fibularis tertius).
Scapuloperoneal weakness
MedGen UID:
331234
Concept ID:
C1842161
Finding
Rimmed vacuoles
MedGen UID:
340089
Concept ID:
C1853932
Finding
Presence of abnormal vacuoles (membrane-bound organelles) in the sarcolemma. On histological staining with hematoxylin and eosin, rimmed vacuoles are popcorn-like clear vacuoles with a densely blue rim. The vacuoles are often associated with cytoplasmic and occasionally intranuclear eosinophilic inclusions.
Z-band streaming
MedGen UID:
480908
Concept ID:
C3279278
Finding
Streaming or smearing of the Z band, which is then no longer confined to a narrow zone which bisects the I band. The Z disk may extend across the I band or the entire sarcomere in a zigzag manner. Focal thickening, smudging, and blurring of the Z band takes place concurrently. Myofibrillar disorganization is a frequent but not invariable accompanying change.
Gynecomastia
MedGen UID:
6694
Concept ID:
C0018418
Disease or Syndrome
Abnormal development of large mammary glands in males resulting in breast enlargement.
