Symptoms RUDS

Rud syndrome is a poorly characterized disorder, probably of X-linked recessive inheritance, [1] named after Einar Rud who described 2 patients with the case in 1927 and 1929. It was argued that all reported cases of Rud syndrome are genetically heterogeneous and significantly differ from the original case reports of Rud and that the designation Rud syndrome should be eliminated and that the patients with such diagnosis should be reassigned to other syndromes, such as Refsum disease and Sjögren-Larsson syndrome. [1] Some consider Rud syndrome and Sjögren-Larsson syndrome the same entity and that Rud syndrome does not exist. [2] [3]

Presentation

While inclusion criteria for Rud syndrome have varied considerably, the major manifestations include congenital ichthyosis, hypogonadism, small stature, mental retardation, and epilepsy. [4] [5] : 502  [6] : 564  Ocular findings were inconsistently reported and included strabismus, blepharoptosis, blepharospasm, glaucoma, cataract, nystagmus, and retinitis pigmentosa. Other systemic includes metabolic, bony, neurologic, and muscular abnormalities. [4]

Diagnosis

Treatment

Eponym

In 1929, the Danish physician Einar Rud described a 22-year-old Danish male had ichthyosis, hypogonadism, short stature, epilepsy, anemia, and polyneuritis. In 1929, he described a 29-year-old female with ichthyosis, hypogonadism, partial gigantism, and diabetes mellitus. [7] [8]

Sjögren–Larsson syndrome is a rare autosomal recessive form of ichthyosis with neurological symptoms. It can be identified by a triad of medical disorders. The first is ichthyosis, which is a buildup of skin to form a scale-like covering that causes dry skin and other problems. The second identifier is paraplegia which is characterized by leg spasms. The final identifier is intellectual delay.

Acrodysostosis is a rare congenital malformation syndrome which involves shortening of the interphalangeal joints of the hands and feet, intellectual disability in approximately 90% of affected children, and peculiar facies. Other common abnormalities include short head, small broad upturned nose with flat nasal bridge, protruding jaw, increased bone age, intrauterine growth retardation, juvenile arthritis and short stature. Further abnormalities of the skin, genitals, teeth, and skeleton may occur.

Revesz syndrome is a fatal disease that causes exudative retinopathy and bone marrow failure. Other symptoms include severe aplastic anemia, intrauterine growth retardation, fine sparse hair, fine reticulate skin pigmentation, ataxia due to cerebellar hypoplasia, and cerebral calcifications. Its effects are similar to that of Hoyeraal-Hreidarsson syndrome. It is a variant of dyskeratosis congenita.

Björnstad syndrome is an autosomal recessive congenital condition involving pili torti, sensorineural deafness, and hair abnormalities. It was first characterized in 1965, in Oslo, by prof. Roar Theodor Bjørnstad after he observed an association between pili torti and hearing loss. The condition is extremely rare, with less than 50 cases documented in medical literature worldwide.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Trichothiodystrophy</span> Medical condition

Trichothiodystrophy (TTD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder characterised by brittle hair and intellectual impairment. The word breaks down into tricho – "hair", thio – "sulphur", and dystrophy – "wasting away" or literally "bad nourishment". TTD is associated with a range of symptoms connected with organs of the ectoderm and neuroectoderm. TTD may be subclassified into four syndromes: Approximately half of all patients with trichothiodystrophy have photosensitivity, which divides the classification into syndromes with or without photosensitivity; BIDS and PBIDS, and IBIDS and PIBIDS. Modern covering usage is TTD-P (photosensitive), and TTD.

This disorder is also referred to as ichthyosis congenital type IV.

Lowry-Wood syndrome, also simply known as LWS, is a very rare genetic disorder which is characterized by dysplasia of the epiphysis, low height/short stature, microcephaly, developmental delay, intellectual disabilities, and congenital nystagmus. Less common features include coxa vara and retinitis pigmentosa. Only 10 cases of this disorder have been described in medical literature. This disorder is associated with mutations in the RNU4ATAC gene, on chromosome 2q14.2
