Diagnosis OMIM Superti-Furga et al. (1996) observed that elucidation of the basic defect in ACG1B allows diagnosis by biochemical and molecular studies. They emphasized that accurate genetic counseling, particularly the distinction between ACG1B (which has a 25% recurrence risk) and ...
Clinical Description OMIM In a patient considered to have achondrogenesis type IB, Superti-Furga (1994) found that cartilage extracts showed a reduced content of proteoglycans and that unlike control cartilage they did not stain with toluidine blue and did not bind to ...
Molecular genetics OMIM Superti-Furga et al. (1996) demonstrated 6 different, putatively pathogenic mutations in the gene that is mutant in diastrophic dysplasia (222600), DTDST (see, e.g., 606718.0005 and 606718.0006), by genomic PCR, SSCP, and direct sequencing. The mutations accounted for 11 ...
Diagnosis GeneReviews Achondrogenesis type 1B (ACG1B) is a perinatal lethal disorder with death occurring prenatally or shortly after birth. The diagnosis is usually established with the following:...
Clinical Description GeneReviews Achondrogenesis type 1B (ACG1B), one of the most severe chondrodysplasias, is a perinatal lethal disorder with death occurring prenatally or shortly after birth. The mechanism of the prenatal death is unknown. In the viable newborn, death is secondary to respiratory failure and occurs shortly after birth....
Genotype-Phenotype Correlations GeneReviews Genotype-phenotype correlations indicate that the amount of residual activity of the sulfate transporter modulates the phenotype in this spectrum of disorders that extends from lethal ACG1B to mild recessive multiple epiphyseal dysplasia (EDM4). Homozygosity or compound heterozygosity for mutations predicting stop codons or structural mutations in transmembrane domains of the sulfate transporter are associated with ACG1B, while mutations located in extracellular loops, in the cytoplasmic tail of the protein, or in the regulatory 5'-flanking region of the gene result in less severe phenotypes [Superti-Furga et al 1996c, Karniski 2001]....
Differential Diagnosis GeneReviews Achondrogenesis type 1B (ACG1B) should be distinguished from other lethal chondrodysplasias. As this is a large group of disorders, differentiation may be problematic....
Management GeneReviews To establish the extent of disease in an individual diagnosed with achondrogenesis type 1B (ACG1B), the following evaluations are recommended:...
