Ataxia-pancytopenia syndrome is a rare genetic disease characterized by cerebellar ataxia, cytopenias and predisposition to bone marrow failure and myeloid leukaemia. Neurologic features variably include slowly progressive cerebellar ataxia or balance impairment with cerebellar atrophy and periventricular white matter T2 hyperintensities in brain MRI, horizontal and vertical nystagmus, dysmetria, dysarthria, pyramidal tract signs and reduced nerve conduction velocity. Hematological abnormalities are variable and may be intermittent and include cytopenias of all cell lineages, immunodeficiency, myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukemia.

Classic Hodgkin lymphoma is a lymph node cancer of germinal center B-cell origin. Hodgkin lymphoma tumors consist of a minority of malignant cells, known as 'Reed-Sternberg' (RS) cells, mixed with reactive lymphocytes and other benign inflammatory cells. A defining feature of RS cells is the presence of 2 nuclei (summary by Salipante et al., 2009).

Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis (HUV) is an immune complex-mediated small vessel vasculitis characterized by urticaria and hypocomplementemia (low C1q with or without low C3 and C4), and usually associated with circulating anti-C1q autoantibodies. Arthritis, pulmonary disease, ocular inflammation, and glomerulonephritis are common systemic manifestations.

Dyskeratosis congenita is an inherited bone marrow failure syndrome classically characterized by the triad of mucosal leukoplakia, nail dysplasia, and abnormal skin pigmentation. Affected individuals have an increased risk of aplastic anemia and malignancy. Less common features include epiphora, premature gray hair, microcephaly, developmental delay, and pulmonary fibrosis, among others. The phenotype is highly variable. All affected individuals have shortened telomeres due to a defect in telomere maintenance (summary by Savage et al., 2008).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of dyskeratosis congenita, see DCKA1 (OMIM ).

Zur Stadt et al. (2005) summarized the clinical features of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH), a rare autosomal recessive disorder characterized by massive infiltration of several organs by activated lymphocytes and macrophages. The clinical features of the disease include fever, hepatosplenomegaly, cytopenia, and less frequently central nervous system involvement. In FHL, the familial form of the disease, first episodes occur mostly during infancy, with a rapidly fatal outcome if untreated. Diagnostic criteria also include low fibrinogen and high triglyceride and ferritin levels. Chemoimmunotherapy based on corticosteroids, epipodophyllotoxins, and cyclosporin succeeds in controlling the disease in the majority of patients, although remission is rarely obtained (Henter et al., 2002). Most patients suffer an early death unless they are treated by hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (Durken et al., 1999). Genetic Heterogeneity of Familial Hemophagocytic LymphohistiocytosisFamilial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis exhibits genetic heterogeneity. In some families, familial hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis has been found to be linked to chromosome 9q (HPLH1, FHL1). FHL2 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the PRF1 gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 10q22; FHL3 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the UNC13D gene (OMIM ) on chromosome 17q25; FHL4 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the syntaxin-11 gene (STX11 ) on chromosome 6q24; and FHL5 (OMIM ) is caused by mutation in the syntaxin-binding protein-2 (STXBP2 ), which is an interaction partner of STX11, on chromosome 19p13.Furthermore, before the identification of mutations in the RAG1 (OMIM ) and RAG2 (OMIM ) genes, both of which map to 11p, Omenn syndrome (familial reticuloendotheliosis with eosinophilia; {603554}) was not thought to be clearly distinct from other reported cases of hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis.

PGM3-CDG is a rare congenital disorder of glycosylation caused by mutations in the PGM3 gene and characterized by neonatal to childhood onset of recurrent bacterial and viral infections, inflammatory skin diseases, atopic dermatitis and atopic diatheses, and marked serum IgE elevation. Early neurologic impairment is evident including developmental delay, intellectual disability, ataxia, dysarthria, sensorineural hearing loss, myoclonus and seizures.

Celiac disease, also known as celiac sprue and gluten-sensitive enteropathy (GSE), is a multifactorial disorder of the small intestine that is influenced by both environmental and genetic factors. It is characterized by malabsorption resulting from inflammatory injury to the mucosa of the small intestine after the ingestion of wheat gluten or related rye and barley proteins (summary by Farrell and Kelly, 2002). Long regarded as gastrointestinal disorder of childhood, the disease is now considered to be a chronic systemic autoimmune disease and is more often diagnosed in adults than in children (Monsuur et al., 2005).For a discussion of genetic heterogeneity of celiac disease, see MAPPING.
