Radial aplasia-thrombocytopenia syndrome- MedGen UID:

- Disease or Syndrome
Thrombocytopenia absent radius (TAR) syndrome is characterized by bilateral absence of the radii with the presence of both thumbs, and thrombocytopenia that is generally transient. Thrombocytopenia may be congenital or may develop within the first few weeks to months of life; in general, thrombocytopenic episodes decrease with age. Cow's milk allergy is common and can be associated with exacerbation of thrombocytopenia. Other anomalies of the skeleton (upper and lower limbs, ribs, and vertebrae), heart, and genitourinary system (renal anomalies and agenesis of uterus, cervix, and upper part of the vagina) can occur.
PEHO syndrome- MedGen UID:

- •Concept ID:

- •
- Disease or Syndrome
PEHO is a severe autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by extreme cerebellar atrophy due to almost total loss of granule neurons. Affected individuals present in early infancy with hypotonia, profoundly delayed psychomotor development, optic atrophy, progressive atrophy of the cerebellum and brainstem, and dysmyelination. Most patients also develop infantile seizures that are often associated with hypsarrhythmia on EEG, and many have peripheral edema (summary by Anttonen et al., 2017).
Neurodevelopmental disorder with progressive microcephaly, spasticity, and brain anomalies- MedGen UID:

- Disease or Syndrome
Neurodevelopmental disorder with progressive microcephaly, spasticity, and brain anomalies (NDMSBA) is an autosomal recessive neurodevelopmental disorder characterized by infantile onset of progressive microcephaly and spasticity and severe global developmental delay resulting in profoundly impaired intellectual development and severely impaired or absent motor function. More variable features include seizures and optic atrophy. Brain imaging may show myelinating abnormalities and white matter lesions consistent with a leukoencephalopathy, as well as structural anomalies, including thin corpus callosum, gyral abnormalities, and cerebral or cerebellar atrophy. Some patients die in early childhood (summary by Falik Zaccai et al., 2017 and Hall et al., 2017).

- Disease or Syndrome
Hereditary angioedema-5 (HAE5) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by localized and self-limiting edema of the subcutaneous or submucosal tissue due to an episodic increase in vascular permeability. Affected individuals have onset of episodic swelling of the face, lips, hands, and abdomen in the second decade of life. Treatment with tranexamic acid may be effective in reducing the severity and frequency of the attacks (summary by Bafunno et al., 2018).

- Disease or Syndrome
Hereditary angioedema-6 (HAE6) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by onset of episodic subcutaneous and submucosal swelling in adulthood. The face, mouth, and tongue are often affected; some patients have distal limb or abdominal edema. Levels of complement component inhibitor (C1INH; 606860) are normal (summary by Bork et al., 2019).

- Disease or Syndrome
Hereditary angioedema-8 (HAE8) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized clinically by recurrent and self-limited episodes of localized edema in various organs, including the face, tongue, larynx, and extremities. In rare cases, swelling of the tongue or larynx can lead to airway obstruction. Abdominal attacks may also occur, resulting in abdominal pain, vomiting, and diarrhea. The disorder results from enhanced vascular permeability (summary by Bork et al., 2021).
