X-linked immunoneurologic disorder

MedGen UID:
341162
Concept ID:
C1848144
Disease or Syndrome
Synonyms: Neonatal death immune deficiency; Woods Black Norbury syndrome; X-linked immunoneurological disorder
SNOMED CT: X-linked immunoneurologic disorder (719827008); Woods Black Norbury syndrome (719827008)
Modes of inheritance:
X-linked dominant inheritance
MedGen UID:
376232
Concept ID:
C1847879
Finding
Source: Orphanet
A mode of inheritance that is observed for dominant traits related to a gene encoded on the X chromosome. In the context of medical genetics, X-linked dominant disorders tend to manifest very severely in affected males. The severity of manifestation in females may depend on the degree of skewed X inactivation.

Definition

A syndrome with characteristics of immune deficiency and neurological disorders in females and neonatal death in males. The syndrome has been described in only one family with nine affected individuals (five males and four females) spanning two generations. Symptomatic females present slowly progressive proximal muscle weakness, leg hyperreflexia, pes cavus, increased muscle tone in the legs, poor bladder function, static reduced night vision and frequent sinopulmonary infections associated with IgG2 deficiency. Males present with low birth weight and severe hypotonia that leads to death in the neonatal period. The gene locus has been mapped to Xq26-qter. [from SNOMEDCT_US]

Clinical features

From HPO
Functional abnormality of the bladder
MedGen UID:
812913
Concept ID:
C3806583
Finding
Dysfunction of the urinary bladder.
Small for gestational age
MedGen UID:
65920
Concept ID:
C0235991
Finding
Smaller than normal size according to sex and gestational age related norms, defined as a weight below the 10th percentile for the gestational age.
Spastic paraplegia
MedGen UID:
20882
Concept ID:
C0037772
Disease or Syndrome
Spasticity and weakness of the leg and hip muscles.
Brisk reflexes
MedGen UID:
382164
Concept ID:
C2673700
Finding
Tendon reflexes that are noticeably more active than usual (conventionally denoted 3+ on clinical examination). Brisk reflexes may or may not indicate a neurological lesion. They are distinguished from hyperreflexia by the fact that hyerreflexia is characterized by hyperactive repeating (clonic) reflexes, which are considered to be always abnormal.
Progressive proximal muscle weakness
MedGen UID:
322841
Concept ID:
C1836156
Finding
Lack of strength of the proximal muscles that becomes progressively more severe.
Neonatal hypotonia
MedGen UID:
412209
Concept ID:
C2267233
Disease or Syndrome
Muscular hypotonia (abnormally low muscle tone) manifesting in the neonatal period.
Decreased circulating IgG2 concentration
MedGen UID:
867187
Concept ID:
C4021545
Finding
A reduction in immunoglobulin levels of the IgG2 subclass in the blood circulation.
Night blindness
MedGen UID:
10349
Concept ID:
C0028077
Disease or Syndrome
Inability to see well at night or in poor light.
