Preferred Label : Trichohepatoenteric syndrome 1;
Symbol : THES1;
CISMeF acronym : THES1;
Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;
Alternative titles and symbols : Diarrhea, syndromic; The syndrome; Diarrhea, fatal infantile, with trichorrhexis nodosa;
Description : Although the spectrum of phenotypic expression in trichohepatoenteric syndrome (THES)
is broad, the characteristic features include intrauterine growth retardation, woolly
hair, facial dysmorphism, intractable diarrhea in infancy requiring total parenteral
nutrition, and immunodepression. Hepatic involvement contributes to the poor prognosis
of affected patients (summary by Fabre et al., 2007). - Genetic Heterogeneity of Trichohepatoenteric
Syndrome Trichohepatoenteric syndrome-2 (THES2; 614602) is caused by mutation in the
SKIV2L gene (600478) on chromosome 6p21.3.;
Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;
Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the tetratricopeptide repeat domain 37 gene (TTC37, 614589.0001);
Laboratory abnormalities : Hypoalbuminemia; Galactosuria without galactosemia; Hypermethioninemia, progressive; Increased serum methionine (reported in 2 cases); Abnormal serum liver enzyme levels; Elevated ferritin; Decreased transferrin Increased serum iron;
