" /> Prolidase deficiency - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Prolidase deficiency;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Prolidase deficiency is a rare autosomal recessive multisystem disorder associated with massive imidodipeptiduria and lack of or reduced prolidase activity in erythrocytes, leukocytes, or cultured fibroblasts. The disorder is clinically heterogeneous and severity varies widely. Features include chronic, slowly healing ulcerations, mainly on the legs and feet. The ulcers are often preceded by other dermatologic manifestations that may occur anywhere and include erythematous papular eruptions, telangiectasias with pruritus and photosensitivity, impetigo-like eruptions, pruritic eczematous lesions, and necrotic papules. Mild to severe mental retardation is often a feature, and recurrent respiratory tract infections, sometimes fatal, are common. Facial dysmorphism may include low hairline and hirsutism, saddle nose, ocular hypertelorism, micrognathia, a high-arched palate, mandibular protrusion, and exophthalmos. Clinical manifestations are usually detectable after birth or in early childhood, but late-onset cases have been reported (summary by Lupi et al., 2008).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the peptidase D gene (PEPD, 613230.0001);

Laboratory abnormalities : Hyperimidodipeptiduria; Deficiency of prolidase activity in erythrocytes, leukocytes, or fibroblasts;

Prefixed ID : #170100;
