INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION IN THE NEWBORN DUE TO GUANYLATE CYCLASE 2C DEFICIENCY

Alternate names

INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION IN THE NEWBORN DUE TO GUANYLATE CYCLASE 2C DEFICIENCY Is also known as meconium ileus due to guanylate cyclase 2c deficiency

Description

Intestinal obstruction in the newborn due to guanylate cyclase 2C deficiency is an extremely rare, autosomal recessive, gastroenterological disorder reported in three families so far that is characterized by meconium ileus without any further stigmata of cystic fibrosis (see this term) including pulmonary or pancreatic manifestations. Two of the reported patients developed chronic diarrhea in infancy. Homozygous mutations in the GUCY2C gene (12p12) leading to marked reduction or absence of enzymatic activity of guanylate cyclase 2C were found in the affected patients. The disease was reported to show partial penetrance.

Most common symptoms of INTESTINAL OBSTRUCTION IN THE NEWBORN DUE TO GUANYLATE CYCLASE 2C DEFICIENCY

  • Diarrhea
  • Sepsis
  • Chronic diarrhea
  • Intestinal obstruction
  • Malnutrition

CHRONIC DIARRHEA DUE TO GUANYLATE CYCLASE 2C OVERACTIVITY

Description

Diarrhea-6 is a relatively mild, early-onset chronic diarrhea that may be associated with increased susceptibility to inflammatory bowel disease, small bowel obstruction, and esophagitis (Fiskerstrand et al., 2012).For a discussion of phenotypic and genetic heterogeneity of congenital diarrhea, see DIAR1 (OMIM ).

Most common symptoms of CHRONIC DIARRHEA DUE TO GUANYLATE CYCLASE 2C OVERACTIVITY

  • Pain
  • Diarrhea
  • Hernia
  • Abdominal pain
  • Acidosis
