" /> Congenital short bowel syndrome - CISMeF





Preferred Label : Congenital short bowel syndrome;

Symbol : CSBS;

CISMeF acronym : CSBS;

Type : Phenotype, molecular basis known;

Description : Infants with congenital short bowel syndrome are born with a shortened small intestine, with a mean length of 50 cm compared to the normal length of 190 to 280 cm, and intestinal malrotation. Severe malnutrition develops as a result of the hugely reduced absorptive surface of the small intestine, and infants require parenteral nutrition for survival; however, parenteral nutrition itself causes life-threatening complications such as sepsis and liver failure which are associated with a high rate of mortality early in life (summary by van der Werf et al., 2012).;

Inheritance : Autosomal recessive;

Molecular basis : Caused by mutation in the coxsackievirus- and adenovirus receptor-like membrane protein gene (CLMP, 611693.0001);

Prefixed ID : #615237;
