Conditions with this feature

Myasthenia gravis
MedGen UID:
7764
Concept ID:
C0026896
Disease or Syndrome
Myasthenia gravis (MG) is an autoimmune disease in which antibodies bind to acetylcholine receptors or to functionally related molecules in the postsynaptic membrane at the neuromuscular junction. The antibodies induce weakness of skeletal muscles, which is the sole disease manifestation. The weakness can be generalized or localized, is more proximal than distal, and nearly always includes eye muscles, with diplopia and ptosis. The pattern of involvement is usually symmetric, apart from the eye involvement, which is often markedly asymmetric and involves several eye muscles. The weakness typically increases with exercise and repetitive muscle use (fatigue) and varies over the course of a day and from day to day, often with nearly normal muscle strength in the morning (summary by Gilhus, 2016).
3-Oxo-5 alpha-steroid delta 4-dehydrogenase deficiency
MedGen UID:
75667
Concept ID:
C0268297
Disease or Syndrome
Pseudovaginal perineoscrotal hypospadias is a form of male pseudohermaphroditism in which 46,XY males show ambiguous genitalia at birth, including perineal hypospadias and a blind perineal pouch, and develop masculinization at puberty. The name of the disorder stems from the finding of a blind-ending perineal opening resembling a vagina and a severely hypospadiac penis with the urethra opening onto the perineum.
Thymic-renal-anal-lung dysplasia
MedGen UID:
336425
Concept ID:
C1848812
Congenital Abnormality
This syndrome has characteristics of intrauterine growth retardation, renal dysgenesis and a unilobed or absent thymus. It has been described in three girls born to a nonconsanguineous couple.
Pygmy
MedGen UID:
376605
Concept ID:
C1849524
Disease or Syndrome
Ectodermal dysplasia with adrenal cyst
MedGen UID:
342106
Concept ID:
C1851850
Disease or Syndrome
Biemond syndrome type 2
MedGen UID:
347159
Concept ID:
C1859487
Disease or Syndrome
An exceedingly rare genetic neurological and developmental disorder reported in a very small number of patients with a poorly defined phenotype including iris coloboma, short stature, obesity, hypogonadism, post axial polydactyly, and intellectual disability. Hydrocephalus and facial dysostosis were also reported. The syndrome shares features with Bardet-Biedl syndrome. There have been no new descriptions in the literature since 1997.
Candidiasis, familial, 1
MedGen UID:
414015
Concept ID:
C2751429
Disease or Syndrome
Chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis (CMC) includes a group of rare disorders with altered immune responses, selective against Candida, characterized by persistent and/or recurrent infections of the skin, nails, and mucous membranes, caused by organisms of the genus Candida, mainly Candida albicans (Zuccarello et al., 2002). Isolated familial chronic mucocutaneous candidiasis is distinct from candidiasis with endocrinopathy (240300). In myeloperoxidase deficiency (254600), susceptibility to candidiasis may be increased. Genetic Heterogeneity of Candidiasis Familial candidiasis-1 (CANDF1) maps to chromosome 2p. CANDF2 (212050) is caused by mutation in the CARD9 gene (607212) on chromosome 9q34.3. CANDF3 (607644), a form restricted to nails of the hands and feet, maps to chromosome 11. CANDF4 (613108) is caused by mutation in the CLEC7A gene (606264) on chromosome 12p13. CANDF6 (613956) is caused by mutation in the IL17F gene (606496) on chromosome 6p12. CANDF7 (614162) is caused by mutation in the STAT1 gene (600555) on chromosome 2q32. CANDF8 (615527) is caused by mutation in the TRAF3IP2 gene (607043) on chromosome 6q21. CANDF9 (616445) is caused by mutation in the IL17RC gene (610925) on chromosome 3p25. A form of familial candidiasis, previously thought to be isolated and designated CANDF5, has been found to be part of a primary immune deficiency (IMD51; 613953) that includes Staphylococcal skin infections and increased susceptibility to chronic bacterial respiratory infections.
