Currarino triad with Müllerian duct anomaly in mother and daughter without MNX1 gene mutation.

چکیده
The Currarino triad is a unique complex of congenital caudal anomalies, including anorectal malformation, sacral bony defect and presacral mass. This triad may be associated with Müllerian duct anomalies, such as duplication of the vagina and uterus. Each of these diseases has a familial tendency and sometimes coexist within families. But, when coexisting in familial cases, nearly all reported cases revealed mutations of the motor neuron and pancreas homeobox 1 (MNX1) gene. Familial cases of Currarino triad combined with Müllerian duct anomaly without MNX1 gene mutation are very rare. Here we report cases of mother and daughter, who had Currarino triad and Müllerian duct anomaly without MNX1 gene mutation, along with a brief literature review.

Currarino Syndrome and HPE Microform Associated with a 2.7-Mb Deletion in 7q36.3 Excluding SHH Gene.
Holoprosencephaly (HPE) is the most common forebrain defect in humans. It results from incomplete midline cleavage of the prosencephalon and can be caused by environmental and genetic factors. HPE is usually described as a continuum of brain malformations from the most severe alobar HPE to the middle interhemispheric fusion variant or syntelencephaly. A microform of HPE is limited to craniofaci...

Introduction Currarino syndrome (CS), first described in 1981,1 is a congenital malformation typically associated with sacral agenesis, anorectal malformations, and a presacral mass. Patients affected by CS display a phenotypic variability, whereby the spectrum of phenotypes ranges from a severe triad to asymptomatic features.2,3 A familial tendency with autosomal dominant inheritance was noted...
متن کاملA novel mutation of HOXA10 in a Chinese woman with a Mullerian duct anomaly.
BACKGROUND Müllerian duct anomalies consist of a set of congenital structural malformations that occur when the Müllerian ducts do not develop properly during embryonic life. Their molecular genetic basis is poorly understood. METHODS In this study, we conducted mutation analysis of the HOXA10 gene in a cohort of 109 Chinese women with Müllerian duct anomalies. RESULTS We identified a novel...
متن کاملDouble Cervix with Normal Uterus and Vagina - An Unclassified Müllerian Anomaly
Müllerian anomalies are very common, and a frequent cause of infertility. The most used classification system until now, proposed by the American Society for Reproductive Medicine in 1988, categorizes comprehensively uterine anomalies but fails to classify defects of the cervix or vagina. This is based on a developmental theory that postulates that müllerian duct fusion is unidirectional, begin...

Currarino syndrome is a congenital disorder, consisting of a triad of anomalies including an anorectal malformation, sacral anomaly, and a presacral mass. Anterior sacral meningoceles are the most common presacral mass. A young child presented to our institution with an unrepaired anorectal malformation and a large anterior sacral meningocele. We describe how the anterior meningocele affected t...
