Preferred Label : Pneumothorax, primary spontaneous;

Symbol : PSP;

CISMeF acronym : PSP;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Birt-Hogg-Dube syndrome (BHD; 135150) is an allelic disorder characterized by spontaneous pneumothorax, as well as fibrofolliculomas of the skin and increased risk of renal and colonic tumors. Gunji et al. (2007) suggested that isolated primary spontaneous pneumothorax associated with FLCN mutations may be part of the clinical spectrum of BHD, showing incomplete disease penetrance. Spontaneous pneumothorax is a complication of certain heritable disorders of connective tissue, particularly the Marfan syndrome (154700) and the Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (see, e.g., 130000). Pulmonary bullae can also occur with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency (613490).;

Inheritance : Autosomal dominant;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the folliculin gene (FLCN, 607273.0009);

Prefixed ID : #173600;
