Hamanishi Ueba Tsuji syndrome | |
---|---|
Other names | congenital aplasia of the extensor muscles of the fingers and thumb associated with generalized polyneuropathy, polyneuropathy hand defect [1] |
This syndrome is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion | |
Specialty | Medical genetics |
Symptoms | muscle, nerve, and skeletal problems, |
Usual onset | birth |
Duration | life-long |
Causes | Genetic mutation |
Risk factors | having parents with the disease |
Hamanishi Ueba Tsuji syndrome is a rare genetic motor and sensorial neuropathy which is characterized by digital (thumb and fingers) flexion malformations, reduced touch and pain sensations of the limbs, [2] hypohidrosis, muscular dystrophy, minor physical anomalies (such as camptodactyly), and skeletal muscle atrophy,. [3] [4] [5] This disorder is inherited in an autosomal recessive fashion, and its exact prevalence is unknown, although it is believed to be around 1 in 100,000. [6] No new cases of this syndrome have been reported since 1986. [7]
