PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA
Alternate names
PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA Is also known as pheochromocytoma, susceptibility to
Description
Pheochromocytomas are catecholamine-secreting tumors that usually arise within the adrenal medulla. Approximately 10% arise in extraadrenal sympathetic ganglia, and are referred to as 'paragangliomas.' Approximately 10% are malignant, and approximately 10% are hereditary (Maher and Eng, 2002; Dluhy, 2002).Bolande (1974) introduced the concept and designation of the neurocristopathies, and identified 'simple,' including pheochromocytoma and medullary carcinoma of the thyroid, and 'complex' neurocristopathies and neurocristopathic syndromes, including NF1 and MEN2.Knudson and Strong (1972) applied Knudson's 2-mutation theory to pheochromocytoma (see discussion in {180200}) and concluded that it fits.Maher and Eng (2002) reviewed the clinical entities and genes associated with pheochromocytoma.
Most common symptoms of PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA
- Neoplasm
- Hypertension
- Tremor
- Fatigue
- Congestive heart failure

HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE, SUSCEPTIBILITY TO, 3; HSCR3
Description
The disorder described by Hirschsprung (1888) and known as Hirschsprung disease or aganglionic megacolon is characterized by congenital absence of intrinsic ganglion cells in the myenteric (Auerbach) and submucosal (Meissner) plexuses of the gastrointestinal tract. Patients are diagnosed with the short-segment form (S-HSCR, approximately 80% of cases) when the aganglionic segment does not extend beyond the upper sigmoid, and with the long-segment form (L-HSCR) when aganglionosis extends proximal to the sigmoid. Total colonic aganglionosis and total intestinal HSCR also occur (Amiel et al., 2008).Isolated HSCR appears to be of complex nonmendelian inheritance with low sex-dependent penetrance and variable expression according to the length of the aganglionic segment, suggestive of the involvement of one or more genes with low penetrance (Amiel et al., 2008).Hofstra et al. (1997) discussed the possible role of GDNF in the pathogenesis of Hirschsprung disease.For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of susceptibility to Hirschsprung disease, see {142623}.

HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE
Alternate names
HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE Is also known as hscr, aganglionic megacolon, congenital intestinal aganglionosis, hirschsprung disease, megacolon, aganglionic, mgc
Description
Hirschsprung disease (HSCR) is a congenital intestinal motility disorder that is characterized by signs of intestinal obstruction due to the presence of an aganglionic segment of variable extent in the terminal part of the colon.
Most common symptoms of HIRSCHSPRUNG DISEASE
- Intellectual disability
- Global developmental delay
- Short stature
- Hearing impairment
- Microcephaly

ONDINE SYNDROME
Alternate names
ONDINE SYNDROME Is also known as congenital central alveolar hypoventilation syndrome, autonomic control, congenital failure of, central congenital hypoventilation syndrome, ondine curse, congenital, cchs, ondine curse
Description
Congenital central hypoventilation syndrome (CCHS) is a rare disease due to a severely impaired central autonomic control of breathing and dysfunction of the autonomous nervous system. The incidence is estimated to be at 1 of 200 000 livebirths. A heterozygous mutation of PHOX-2B gene is found in 90% of the patients. Association with a Hirschsprung's disease is observed in 16% of the cases. Despite a high mortality rate and a lifelong dependence to mechanical ventilation, the long-term outcome of CCHS should be ultimately improved by multidisciplinary and coordinated follow-up of the patients.
Most common symptoms of ONDINE SYNDROME
- Seizures
- Strabismus
- Muscular hypotonia
- Pain
- Low-set ears
